MycoDog Clarity: Cognitive & Neurological Support

Our Clarity mushroom extract & adaptogen blend combines dual extracted Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps, with adaptogens Bacopa Monnieri, Ashwagandha, and trace minerals, preserved in organic vegetable glycerin.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms are commonly known as “Nature’s Nutrient for the Neurons” is well known for its role in supporting cognitive function and memory.

Reishi mushrooms are often referred to as the “mushroom of immortality”. Reishi is traditionally used to support vitality and help the body manage stress.

Cordyceps mushrooms are known for supporting energy and endurance.

Bacopa Monnieri is traditionally used to promote memory, focus, and calm.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that may help regulate stress, mood, and energy levels.

Mineral salts are essential compounds, extracted using the spagyric method. In spagyric tinctures, trace minerals are reclaimed after the mushroom dual extraction and reintegrated into the final product.

Vegetable glycerin offers a pet-safe preservation method and helps maintain the integrity of the tincture, especially when used regularly with a dropper.

Yes! Clarity was created specifically for senior dogs, and has even been studied in a clinical research project studying the potential benefits of Clarity for cognitive decline in senior dogs, called the Senior Dog Study.

In the Senior Dog Study, more than 81% of dogs taking Clarity either improved or maintained their quality of life, with families noticing better sleep, more engagement, and steadier daily routines.

Formulated with Lion’s Mane to support cognitive function, plus Reishi and Cordyceps for vitality and healthy aging, Clarity offers a gentle, holistic way to support your dog as they grow older.

Yes. Clarity was the focus of a clinical research project called the Senior Dog Study, one of the first veterinary studies of its kind, studying mushrooms and adaptogens for cognitive decline in dogs.

The study followed real family dogs over several months while they were taking Clarity daily. Caregivers, veterinarians, and wearable trackers all helped measure changes in sleep, activity, and behavior to give a more comprehensive view of changes over time.

81% of dogs who completed the study either improved or stabilized, with over 59% showing marked improvement.

Cognitive decline affects nearly 30% of dogs by age 11 and more than two-thirds by age 15.

Just like people, dogs can experience age-related cognitive changes as they get older. Common behavior changes include confusion, pacing at night, restlessness, or less interest in family interaction.

MycoDog Clarity was created to help support dogs through these changes so they can stay more connected, comfortable, and engaged.

In fact, in the Senior Dog Study, many families noticed their dogs sleeping more soundly, showing renewed interest in their surroundings, and interacting more with loved ones while taking MycoDog Clarity daily.

In the senior dog clinical study, no supplement-related side effects were reported, even in geriatric dogs with other health conditions. Pet parents also reported that their dogs took Clarity willingly and that it was easy to give every day.

As for benefits, over 81% of dogs in the study either improved or stabilized over the course of the study, after taking Clarity.

Families reported their senior dogs were more engaged, recognized them more readily, and paced less at night.

Collar data also showed better sleep patterns and healthier daytime activity. Overall, 59% of dogs improved and 23% stabilized, which is meaningful because cognitive decline in senior dogs is typically progressive.

Yes, of course! While the most dramatic results in the Senior Dog Study were seen in dogs with moderate age-related behaviors, even dogs in the mild group showed improvements or stayed stable, both important wins since progressive cognitive decline is usually expected with age.

Starting support earlier, especially in the mild to moderate stage, may give senior dogs the best chance to hold on to their quality of life.

How mushrooms are grown can significantly influence the overall quality of mushroom supplements for pets.

Did you know that some mushrooms are cultivated on substrates like grain, rice, or sawdust?

While this method is cost-effective and efficient for large-scale production, it may impact the profile of beneficial compounds.

That’s because mushrooms absorb nutrients from the material they grow on.

When cultivated on grains, the resulting mushroom biomass may reflect the limited nutritional value of that substrate.

In contrast, mushrooms grown on their natural substrates, like logs or forest floors, are more likely to develop a rich spectrum of naturally occurring compounds.

What’s more, many people don’t realize that high-quality mushrooms are grown, harvested, and extracted right here in the U.S. The Pacific Northwest, in particular, has long been a hub for naturally cultivated mushroom varieties.

Choosing U.S.-grown mushrooms means supporting small farmers, sustainable practices, and products grown in cleaner environments, something we’re proud to prioritize at MycoDog.
