Lion's Mane clinical trials

Original post in this thread

SysAdminCafe · 24 points

Hi there. Are there any concrete clinical trials that prove the efficacy of Lion's Mane in improving cognition or memory? Reason I ask is I've been taking 1gram of Host Defense Lion's Mane going on three months to hopefully repair damage done through binge drinking. I've found a few links online but I'm told there is not enough research to support claims that it can enhance memory or increase NGF. Is anyone taking Lion's Mane and what motivated you to invest in this supplement? What convinced you that it works? Thanks.

what about extracts, are they a safer option when it comes to potency?

What do you mean by that? Every mushroom product should be extracted, as fungi have something called chitin in their cell walls. Chitin cannot be broken down by humans, since we lack the chitinase enzyme. So it needs to be broken down ahead of time to make the beneficial compounds bioavailable for humans. If you just eat raw mushrooms, you are not going to get the beneficial compounds.

Replying to eclecticlove1 · So where do you get the powder for the 8:1 dual phase extract?

We have our own suppliers, just like we do for all our ND branded products. They make it to our specifications. Then we test them in our lab for ID, content, beta-glucans, heavy metals, and now residual solvent residues.

Why the lion's mane you're buying is probably bunk.

First off, our Lion's Mane is not a traditional water extract. The water is used to break down the chitin in the cell walls, but the entire mushroom material is kept in. So you don't lose anything that you would with a f
