Quick answer: Golden Brain names two ingredients: Hericium (Lion's Mane) and Bacopa. It also mentions a Neuro-Optimizer Blend and antioxidant support without listing them. No amounts are published.

The two named ingredients
Hericium (Lion's Mane)
A shaggy white mushroom studied for its compounds (hericenones and erinacines) that support nerve growth factor in lab work. A small 16-week Japanese trial in older adults with mild cognitive impairment found better test scores while taking about 3 g a day of mushroom powder.
Lion's Mane research on PubMedBacopa monnieri
An Ayurvedic herb with the strongest memory research among common brain herbs. Trials usually used 300 mg a day of standardized extract for 12 weeks, and effects on recall appeared gradually, not in the first days.
Bacopa research on PubMedResearch doses for context
| Ingredient | Typical research dose | Study length |
|---|---|---|
| Bacopa extract | 300 mg a day (standardized) | 12 weeks |
| Lion's Mane powder | About 3 g a day | 16 weeks |
Our take: both are reasonable choices. Without amounts, you cannot tell whether one capsule a day matches these doses.
