Sleep changes everything
Midlife sleep is rarely the deep, uninterrupted kind. Fragmented nights make it harder to hold names, lists and trains of thought the next day.
Lion's Mane for midlife minds
The fog, the 3pm crash, the word that won't come.
If midlife has changed how your mind feels, you are not alone. More women in their 40s and 50s are getting curious about Lion's Mane. We made the version worth being curious about.
Stronos is a proper Lion's Mane gummy. A 10:1 extract of the fruiting body, the real mushroom, not grain-grown mycelium filler. 2,000mg per serving, 60 vegan gummies, made in the UK by a BRCGS AA-rated maker. Two a day on the kitchen counter, done.

Context, not a diagnosis
Why midlife minds feel foggy
Brain fog in your forties and fifties is not a character flaw. Three things are usually happening at once.
02
The mental load is real
Careers, ageing parents, teenagers, households. Your brain is running more tabs than ever, and the cognitive cost is genuine, not imagined.
03
Hormones are in transition
Perimenopause and menopause shift the chemistry your brain has used for decades. Feeling foggy or scattered during this transition is common and well documented.
The evidence, honestly
The form matters more than the marketing
Lion's Mane has been used for centuries in East Asia, and in the last decade it has become one of the most studied culinary mushrooms in the world. Most products on the market use mycelium grown on grain, which is largely filler. Stronos uses a 10:1 extract of the fruiting body, the actual mushroom, and that is the form most of the research uses.
The research is still early and the trials are small, some encouraging, some null. As one example, a small placebo-controlled study followed 30 women through the menopausal transition taking Lion's Mane daily for four weeks (Nagano and colleagues, 2010). We think the science is genuine and promising, and we will not pretend it is settled.
There are no authorised UK health claims for Lion's Mane, so we do not make any. We would rather make it properly, the real fruiting body, an honest 10:1 extract, made in the UK, and let you decide. Food supplements are not medicines.

Women who don't usually trust supplements

“Honestly the nicest gummy I've tried. Subtle, not too sweet, and it's become part of my morning coffee routine.”
“I like that the label is short and I can actually read it. Two a day, done. The jar lasts a full month.”
“I bought it for myself and ended up ordering one for my sister too. It feels like a calm, grown-up little ritual.”

A note from the founder
“I built Stronos with midlife focus in mind, for the women in my life. My wife, my sisters, my friends. They are brilliant, busy, and quietly tired of being told midlife is something to power through. I cannot promise you what Stronos will do, and I will not pretend otherwise. What I can promise is a Lion's Mane made properly. Real fruiting body, an honest 10:1 extract, made in the UK. Something that sits on the kitchen counter and feels like a small act of self-respect.”
