The Three Mushketeers

Ingredients: Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), and cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis)

A highly concentrated extract where approximately 10 kg of raw Reishi is reduced to 1 kg of extract. This offers higher levels of key active compounds at a lower dose than standard dried powder.


Who Is It For:

The Three Musketeer Capsules are designed for adults seeking a straightforward daily mushroom supplement that supports the mind, immunity, and sustained vitality. It is particularly suitable for students, professionals, and creatives who require sharper focus, improved memory, and mental stamina; for those under physical or emotional pressure looking for calmer energy and better stress resilience; active individuals aiming for enhanced endurance and quicker recovery; and adults prioritising immune balance, antioxidant protection, and healthy ageing.


Health Benefit Summary

This trio works like a complete wellness “team.” Lion’s mane primarily nourishes the brain and nerves, supporting clearer thinking, learning, memory, and long-term neuroprotection through neurotrophic pathways. (PubMed) Reishi is the balancing adaptogen of the blend, supporting calm, sleep quality, and the body’s stress response while regulating immune activity and inflammation for deeper resilience. (PubMed) Cordyceps provides the vitality and endurance pillar by enhancing cellular energy (ATP), respiratory efficiency, and exercise tolerance, helping the body sustain steady energy without a crash. (PMC) Together, they deliver adaptogenic buffering, antioxidant protection, balanced immune readiness, and improved mental and physical performance for daily wellness and proactive health support.

Detailed Health Benefits

1. Cognitive clarity, memory & focus

How it Helps: This formula may improve attention span, mental clarity, learning speed, and recall, which is especially helpful during prolonged study, complex work, or periods of “brain fog.” Many users also report steadier mental stamina because the blend supports both brain signalling and energy supply. Lion’s mane is the lead driver here, with supportive calm-focus synergy from reishi and energy reinforcement from cordyceps. (PubMed)

How it Works: Lion’s mane provides hericenones and erinacines that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting synaptic plasticity and neuronal repair linked to cognition. (PubMed) Reishi’s beta-glucans and triterpenoids help modulate neuro-inflammatory pathways that can impair attention and memory. (PMC) Cordyceps supports oxygen utilisation and ATP production, allowing the brain to meet higher metabolic demands for sustained focus. (PMC)


2. Nervous-system regeneration & neuroprotection

How it Helps: The Three Musketeers may support healthier nerve function, aid recovery from mental burnout, and help protect against age-related cognitive decline. It is appropriate for adults who feel mentally depleted, emotionally overworked, or who want to maintain brain resilience as they age. (PMC)

How it Works: Lion’s mane promotes NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth and supports myelin integrity, strengthening communication pathways between neurons. (PMC) The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions of all three mushrooms help reduce oxidative stress and neuroinflammation that are associated with accelerated neurodegeneration. (SpringerOpen)


3. Stress resilience, calm energy & mood balance

How it Helps: This blend may reduce stress reactivity, support a calmer mood, and ease tension without sedating the user. Reishi steadies the nervous system, lion’s mane supports mood and emotional clarity, while cordyceps adds a gentle vitality lift, helpful for people who feel stressed and tired at the same time. (PubMed)

How it Works: Reishi is a classic adaptogen that helps regulate HPA-axis signalling and stress-linked fatigue, supporting a more resilient cortisol rhythm. (PubMed) Lion’s mane has shown improvements in anxiety and low mood in early human research, likely through neurotrophic repair and reduced inflammatory signalling. (PubMed) Cordyceps supports more steady ATP output and oxygen economy, helping reduce the “energy crash” pattern typical in chronic stress states. (PMC)


4. Immune balance & daily defence

How it Helps: The formula supports daily immune readiness while helping prevent over-reactive immune responses. This makes it worthwhile during seasonal exposure, long periods of stress, recovery phases, or for individuals seeking immune balance as part of healthy ageing. (PMC)

How it Works: Beta-glucans from lion’s mane and reishi prime innate immune cells (including macrophages and NK cells) while supporting adaptive immune calibration. (SpringerOpen) Reishi polysaccharides and triterpenoids modulate cytokine signalling and inflammatory tone, promoting balanced immunity. (PMC) Cordyceps supports immune surveillance and fatigue recovery, helping maintain immune stability after exertion. (Frontiers)


5. Energy, endurance & physical performance

How it Helps: Cordyceps-driven vitality support may boost stamina, enhance aerobic endurance, and reduce fatigue during both daily activities and exercise. Reishi supports recovery and resistance to over-training fatigue, while lion’s mane protects energy metabolism during mental and physical stress, resulting in smoother, more sustainable endurance. (PMC)

How it Works: Cordyceps enhances ATP generation and improves ventilatory threshold and oxygen utilisation in human exercise studies. (PMC) Reishi polysaccharides exhibit anti-fatigue effects by reducing oxidative stress and supporting antioxidant enzymes critical for recovery. (PubMed) Lion’s mane adds mitochondrial and antioxidant support, helping preserve energy systems under prolonged stress. (PMC)


Key Ingredients – Evidence-Based Benefits

  • Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) extract 10:1: A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial in adults with mild cognitive impairment found improved cognitive function scores during 16 weeks of supplementation, supporting its role in memory and clarity. (PubMed) Early human research also reports reduced anxiety and low mood with lion’s mane intake, aligning with its neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory actions. (PubMed)
  • Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) extract 10:1: A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial showed reishi polysaccharide extract (Ganopoly) improved fatigue and well-being in neurasthenia-type symptoms, supporting adaptogenic stress-fatigue benefits. (PubMed) Modern reviews confirm immune modulation via beta-glucans and triterpenoids, including healthier cytokine regulation and adaptive immune balance. (PMC)
  • Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris / C. sinensis-type) extract 10:1: Human trials show cordyceps supplementation can improve VO₂-related performance markers and time-to-exhaustion, supporting endurance and oxygen efficiency. (PMC) Recent performance reviews describe cordyceps as a promising ergogenic support, with effects on ATP and respiratory-metabolic function. (ResearchGate)

Dosage Guidelines

Take with water, preferably with food:
• Daily wellness: 1 capsule once daily with breakfast
• Ongoing support: 1 capsule twice daily (morning & late afternoon)
• Intensive support: 2 capsules twice daily for 6–12 weeks, then reduce to Ongoing support
Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Tips for best results: Take the capsules consistently every day, as mushroom adaptogenic and neurotrophic effects build gradually over weeks rather than hours. Pair each dose with a balanced meal that includes some protein and healthy fats to support steady absorption and reduce any chance of stomach sensitivity. Maintain good hydration, as beta-glucans work best when the body is well-hydrated. For endurance goals, keep the second dose mid-afternoon instead of late evening, and for cognitive goals, combine supplementation with quality sleep and a calmer evening routine to maximise nightly neuro-repair.


Warnings & Interactions

Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional due to limited safety data. Exercise caution if you have an autoimmune disease, are on immunosuppressive therapy, or are undergoing chemotherapy, as medicinal mushrooms can influence immune function. Reishi may impact blood clotting and should be used carefully alongside anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications. Cordyceps may reduce blood sugar levels; monitor glucose if you are using insulin or other glucose-lowering treatments. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if allergy symptoms (such as rash, wheezing, or swelling) or ongoing digestive issues occur. Not suitable for children unless under professional supervision.
