The reason most energy products come with a crash is that they are not producing energy, they are borrowing it. Caffeine, sugar, synthetic stimulants, and most pre-workouts work by forcing the nervous system into a higher gear, not by improving the underlying machinery that generates cellular energy in the first place. The body pays that borrowed energy back, usually around 3pm, often with interest.
All About Movement is built on the other premise. Four mushrooms, working at the mitochondrial, neurological, and adaptogenic layers, supporting the systems your body actually uses to produce and sustain energy from the inside. No caffeine. No synthetic stimulants. No borrowing.
What is in All About Movement and why it is there
Cordyceps (Cordyceps militaris) is the energy backbone of the formula. Cordyceps is one of the most clinically studied mushrooms in sports science, and its mechanism is specifically mitochondrial: it supports ATP production, the universal energy currency your cells actually run on, through pathways involving cordycepin and adenosine. A randomized controlled trial (Hirsch et al., 2017) found that three weeks of Cordyceps militaris supplementation in moderately trained adults improved VO2max by roughly 4.8 mL/kg/min and extended time to exhaustion by nearly 70 seconds on cycle ergometer testing. A separate 12-week trial in healthy older adults (Chen et al., 2010) found Cs-4 Cordyceps improved ventilatory and metabolic thresholds significantly over placebo. Clinical note: the strongest effects in the exercise literature come at 3-4 g/day over 3+ weeks, which is above the daily dose you will get from this stack alone. All About Movement is designed as a foundation for daily cellular energy support, not a peri-workout ergogenic. If you want to push it further for athletic performance, an additional Cordyceps-specific dose around training is where the research points.
Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is the cognitive layer. Energy without clarity is just restlessness. Lion's Mane contains two compound classes that stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), the protein your brain uses to maintain, repair, and grow neurons: hericenones in the fruiting body and erinacines in the mycelium. Over weeks of consistent use, that translates to cleaner processing, sustained attention, and less of the late-afternoon fog that makes energy feel unusable. Human trial data in adults with mild cognitive impairment (Mori et al., 2009) showed significant cognitive improvements at 3,000 mg daily over 16 weeks.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is the regulator. The reason most stimulants crash is that they push the HPA axis (your body's stress response system) hard, and the HPA axis responds by pushing back. Reishi works in the other direction. Its triterpenes and polysaccharides modulate the HPA axis toward homeostasis, which means the cortisol curve stays where it belongs and the nervous system does not enter the overdrive state that produces the rebound crash. A 2,000-year tradition in Chinese medicine called Reishi the "spirit mushroom" for exactly this reason: steady, not spiked. An 8-week randomized study in 132 adults with neurasthenia (clinical fatigue) found Reishi significantly reduced fatigue and improved wellbeing compared to placebo.
Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is the quiet foundation. Shiitake's contribution here is cellular rather than neurological. It delivers ergothioneine, a rare amino acid antioxidant so important for cellular protection that your body has a dedicated transporter (OCTN1) to absorb it, and its branched beta-glucans support the digestion-brain axis through selective prebiotic activity and short-chain fatty acid production. Low-grade systemic inflammation is one of the most consistent physiological drags on energy, and Shiitake addresses it at the source.
Why the details matter
This is a product where sourcing quality is the entire difference between working and not working. The clinical effects for Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, and Reishi all come from specific bioactive compounds (cordycepin, hericenones, triterpenes, beta-glucans) that are concentrated in the fruiting body. We use 100% fruiting body mushrooms; most cheap mushroom products are majority grain starch by weight, with a small fraction of actual mushroom, which means the active compounds are diluted to near-irrelevance before the capsule ever reaches you.
The formula is certified organic, third-party tested for purity and active compound content, gluten-free, non-GMO, caffeine-free, and contains no synthetics, preservatives, binders, or fillers.
Why Scott built it this way
Energy is not a substance you add to the body, it is an output of systems working well. Mitochondria generating ATP efficiently. A nervous system that is not constantly running a threat response. Neural hardware that can sustain attention. Digestion that is not quietly inflamed. When those four systems are supported, what most people call "low energy" is simply not a problem that exists. All About Movement is four ingredients, each covering one of those four layers. Steady, sustainable, and biologically earned.
Suggested Use
Two capsules per day, taken roughly 8 hours apart, starting early in the day, on an empty stomach, with at least 8 oz. of water per dose. For a vegan option or for those who'd rather skip the capsule, open the capsule directly into your mouth, water, warm tea, or coffee, stir, and discard the capsule. Most people notice the shift within the first two to three days of consistent daily use.
