The Momentum Behind It All

Last week, we launched the full Freedom Enhancers: Myco Series lineup—eight new mushroom tinctures crafted to support clarity, immunity, energy, resilience, and long-term wellness. If you missed that announcement, you can catch up right here.

Over the next few weeks, we’re going to dig deeper—one tincture at a time. What makes each one special, how it’s used, and why we crafted it the way we did.

And we figured we’d kick things off with the one that started it all: Momentum.

The Story Behind the Formula

This isn’t just a blend we threw together to chase trends. Momentum - our Lion’s Mane + Cordyceps tincture - was born from personal need and real-world use. My wife, MaryEllen, and I have been using this blend daily for months now. We’ve tested it, refined it, and more importantly, relied on it.

Here’s one example: A couple of weeks ago, MaryEllen was driving back from a long work trip in Virginia. I was still back in Pennsylvania. She had five hours ahead of her and found herself completely wiped, so much so that she considered pulling off to crash at a hotel or even take a nap in a Chick-fil-A parking lot.

But she remembered she had a bottle of Momentum in her bag. No coffee, no energy drinks, just the tincture. She took two full droppers, stirred it into the last bit of a Coke, and gave it a few minutes.

Thirty minutes later, she called me. “I’m good,” she said. “I don’t know how, but I’m good.” And she made it home safe, clear-headed, and surprisingly energized.

Why It Works

Momentum works because it combines two of the most respected functional mushrooms in the game:

• Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) – Known for its ability to support brain function, enhance memory, and stimulate nerve regeneration. It’s a go-to for mental clarity and focus.
• Cordyceps Militaris – Famous for boosting ATP production (cellular energy), improving oxygen use, and helping the body perform under pressure. It supports stamina, alertness, and recovery.

Together, they create a synergistic effect:  Lion’s Mane tunes the mind while Cordyceps powers the body. And unlike a quick caffeine hit, Momentum builds sustainable energy without the jitters or crash.

How We Use It

Most days, we take it with our morning coffee. Sometimes a dropper or two under the tongue, other times straight into the cup. It’s alcohol-based, dual-extracted, and flavor-neutral, so it doesn’t mess with the taste.

When we know the day’s going to demand a little more focus or endurance, we double up. And when we’re testing a new blend, Momentum is usually the baseline we compare it to. It’s become our standard.
