21st Century, Lion's Mane, 2,100 mg, 60 Vegetarian Capsules
One capsule supplies 525 mg of a 4:1 fruiting-body extract, which the label expresses as a 2,100 mg dry-mushroom equivalent, plus 10 mg of BioPerine black-pepper extract. It was listed in stock on iHerb when checked, but the label does not quantify beta-glucans.

Our Verdict
It earns third place through a clearly disclosed 4:1 fruiting-body extract and the best capsule value in the list. Weak verification and the absence of a beta-glucan figure prevent it from challenging the two leaders.
