Curated, not stocked.
We stocked IQBAR because it closes a genuine gap: most functional mushroom products come in powder or capsule form, which many people simply do not use consistently. A bar format removes that barrier. The combination of plant protein, healthy fats, and Lion's Mane in a low-sugar vehicle is coherent rather than gimmicky — and consistency of use is what makes any supplement worth recommending.
About this product
Banana Nut
IQBAR Banana Nut is a nutrition bar formulated to support both cognitive function and physical performance. It combines plant-based protein from pea protein with almonds, and includes Lion's Mane mushroom — a functional ingredient studied for its potential role in nerve growth factor support and everyday mental clarity.
The bar suits people who want a snack that does more than fill a gap. It fits naturally into a morning routine before focused work, as a pre-gym option for those avoiding heavy meals, or as a desk-side alternative to confectionery. The low-sugar profile makes it a reasonable choice for those managing blood glucose or following a reduced-sugar diet, though as with any packaged food, checking the label for your specific requirements is sensible.
Pea protein is a well-tolerated plant protein source that contributes to muscle repair and satiety. Almonds bring healthy fats and fibre, which help slow energy release. Lion's Mane is the ingredient that sets this bar apart from standard protein bars — it is studied for cognitive support, and its inclusion here reflects a growing interest in food-format nootropics for people who prefer not to add another capsule to their routine.
For a doctor-curated shelf, the appeal is straightforward: functional ingredients, a sensible macronutrient profile, and a format that people actually use consistently.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What makes this different from a standard protein bar?
Most protein bars focus solely on macronutrients. IQBAR Banana Nut also includes Lion's Mane mushroom, a functional ingredient studied for its potential role in supporting cognitive function and nerve growth factor — something you will not find in a typical gym-shelf bar.
Who would benefit most from this bar?
It suits anyone looking for a low-sugar, plant-protein snack that also supports mental clarity — particularly those in demanding cognitive roles, students, or people who want a clean mid-morning or pre-workout option without reaching for a capsule supplement.
Is Lion's Mane safe to consume daily?
Lion's Mane is generally well tolerated and is consumed as a food mushroom in many cultures. That said, if you have a known mushroom allergy or are pregnant, it is worth checking with your GP before adding it regularly to your diet.
Is this bar suitable for vegans?
The listed ingredients — pea protein, almonds, and Lion's Mane — are all plant-derived, but we recommend checking the packaging for the full allergen and suitability statement, as formulations can vary.
How long until I notice any cognitive benefit from Lion's Mane?
Lion's Mane is not an immediate stimulant. Potential cognitive benefits in the research tend to be associated with consistent, longer-term intake over weeks rather than a single serving. Treat it as a daily habit rather than an on-demand boost.
