Starting from addition, ending at subtraction
When we started building Narasana, the easy path was to keep adding: another root, another mushroom, another "just in case" ingredient. Every one of them is defensible on its own. Together, they crowd a label and dilute a dose.
We took the opposite path. Lion’s Mane for the brain side, Cordyceps CS-4 for the body side, one gram each. If an ingredient could not clearly earn its place next to those two, it did not make it in.
Getting to simple takes more work, not less.
That constraint shaped everything downstream — sourcing, extraction method, even the stick format. A focused formula is a promise we can actually keep batch after batch.
