Healthshop Top 10: Our Bestsellers

Ten products, one question worth answering first: if you only buy one thing off this list, which should it be? Below, that answer by shopper type, then what each product actually is.

If you only buy one

New to supplements altogether: the Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, 400 mg of an 8:1 fruiting body extract, one or two a day. Coming for CBD specifically: the Cibdol CBD Oil 5%, because drops let you find your own dose. Wanting help winding down: Dream Gummies Cherry. Buying for a specific night out or the morning after it: Booze Recovery.

Mushrooms and adaptogens

Two mushroom products make the ten. The Lion's Mane capsules are the single-species option; MycoFive Mushroom Capsules stack five standardised extracts, lion's mane, cordyceps, reishi, agaricus blazei and chaga, into sixty vegan capsules at one or two a day. Ashwagandha sits alongside them as pure root extract, the adaptogen people generally start with.

CBD, two different bargains

CBD Oil 5% from Cibdol is full spectrum, so you get the plant's terpenes and minor cannabinoids too, and the dropper gives you fine control. CBD Gummies Tropical Mango go the other way: CBD isolate, 25 mg a gummy, ten to a pack, THC-free, no measuring. Control against convenience, and most people know instinctively which one suits them.

Sleep, mood and the odd one out

Dream Gummies Cherry use valerian root and passion flower in a vegan chew for the half hour before bed. 5-HTP delivers 75 mg per capsule from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds with vitamin B6. Blue Pleasure is the aphrodisiac blend and needs about thirty minutes. And Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is the historical curiosity of the list, a flower named in the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

A word on how this list moves

It follows sales, so it changes. Two products on it today were not here a year ago, and the seasonal ones climb and fall in a way that has nothing to do with quality.
