The Demand Is Already There

Your customers & the general population are drinking less alcohol and asking for functional ingredients by name. Lion’s Mane is leading the conversation.

This isn’t a trend cycle. Adaptogens have moved from supplement aisle to daily baseline, and Lion’s Mane leads in awareness and repeat use. From Erewhon to Soft Bar in NYC, it’s already on menus your customers recognize and trust. The customers walking through your door already know it, the question is which version you trust to put your name behind.

$1.6B

The size of the adaptogen opportunity in beverages, up 18% in the past year alone. (FoodNavigator-USA, 2026)

49%

Americans actively trying to drink less alcohol—a 44% increase since 2023. (NielsenIQ, 2025)

23.4%

Annual growth rate of the Lion’s Mane extract market through 2029— the fastest-growing segment in the category. (Technavio, 2025)

Unearthed.

FORGOTTEN was started by mycologists and mushroom farmers who think modern life stripped out something fundamental—the small daily rituals that supported how people actually thought, felt, and connected.

Brought to you.

Lions Mane Elixir is that ritual, behind your bar. Higher dose, cleaner format, full-spectrum extraction, and the only mushroom on the market that the FDA has cleared for a Qualified Health Claim on cognitive function.

what's in the bottle

Full-spectrum.
Full-strength.

Lion’s Mane produces two distinct families of bioactive compounds, and they live in two different parts of the mushroom. The fruiting body is where hericenones and beta-glucans come from. The mycelium is where erinacines —  the most-studied neuroactive compound in the species — are produced. Most Lion’s Mane on the market uses one or the other, then calls it a day. Lions Mane Elixir uses both. We dual-extract from full-grown fruiting body and mycelium extract, capturing both compound families in a single bottle. That is what “full spectrum” actually means. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling half the mushroom.

Lions Mane Elixir has a third-party Certificate of Analysis with verified levels of the active compounds — high beta-glucans, hericenones, and Erinacine-A.

Distilled water, organic vegetable glycerin, organic sunflower lecithin. That’s the entire ingredient list. No proprietary blends. No flavor masking. No fillers. Built to mix into whatever you put it in — espresso, matcha, sparkling water, cocktail, straight shot.

777mg per serving is a functional dose, not a label dose. Most “functional” beverages on shelf run 50–150mg of mushroom extract per can — enough to put it on the front of the package, not enough for a customer to feel anything. Your customers will notice the difference between a Lions Mane Elixir pour and the can in their fridge. That is the entire point.

Clearer thinking without overstimulation. Stable energy without a crash. More presence in the room—at work, at the bar, with friends. Not a peak. A baseline upgrade.
