Headwater Science
Where Nature Meets Performance Science
Headwater was built on a simple belief: the brain and body perform best when supported consistently, not shocked into temporary alertness. Instead of caffeine, synthetic stimulants, or artificial energy, we rely on clinically studied mushroom extracts and natural compounds that support the nervous system, cellular health, and mental endurance over time.
This is nutrition for your brain and body. Not a jolt. Not a crash. Just clarity and resilience.
Why Mushrooms?
Functional mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that support:
• Neural signaling and cognitive pathways
• Cellular antioxidant defenses
• Immune function and stress resilience
• Natural energy and recovery processes
Headwater uses two of the most studied species:
Lion’s Mane for cognitive support and mental clarity
Chaga for antioxidant capacity and immune support
These aren’t folklore ingredients. They are researched, nutrient-dense compounds designed by nature and validated in modern science.
Fruiting-Body Extracts Only

No fillers.
No shortcuts.
We use certified organic fruiting-body extracts, which deliver:
