What does each pouch in the vitavits Focus & Energy Duo do?
Vitamin B12 helps your body make red blood cells and keeps nerves healthy, and it's involved in energy metabolism.[1] The vitavits Mushroom Complex blends 12 traditional mushrooms, including Lion's Mane, Reishi and Cordyceps. Human research on these mushrooms is limited and comes mostly from small studies.
Caveat: B12 won't boost energy unless you're low in it. People most at risk of low B12 include older adults, vegans and people with certain digestive conditions.[1]

What vitamin B12 actually does
B12 is needed for red blood cell formation, nerve function and DNA.[1] If you're low, a deficiency can cause tiredness and weakness, so supplementing can help. If your levels are already fine, extra B12 isn't likely to give you more energy.[1]
What the mushroom complex actually does
Functional mushrooms have a long history in traditional use. Small human trials of Lion's Mane have looked at memory and mood, but the evidence is early. For more, see B Vitamins and Lion's Mane: Can They Support Focus and Mood?.
