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.

That is interesting to know,
so does that mean it has to be done in processing or is an enzyme co-packed? How can we tell if a purchased product is broken down from the label (or can we)?

When is certropic expecting to release their own (soon is so anticlimactic)?

I've been interested in lions mane lately but haven't pulled the trigger. Going on your definition I see the powdercity one (which I almost ordered) is standardized to polysaccharides.

All of this would make sense as to why results are so variable.

Usually you will do a hot water extraction, an ethanol extraction, or a combination of both.

We already offer a bunch of mushroom extracts on Nootropics Depot: http://nootropicsdepot.com/mushroom-extracts/

This is part of the wholesale price list for "Nammex", the supplier of mushroom powders that many companies repackage/encapsulate and sell for a huge profit margin

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

Is ND done launching new products?

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

new research on the lion's mane

Replying to GeauxTiger · Maybe Im missing a step here, so this is specifically about hericene A, a compound in lions mane. But how much? How much hericene is there, they tested at 250mg, if Im taking 2gm o…

It's talking about N-de phenylethyl isohericerin (NDPIH) and hericene A. You are not getting much of either in most lion's mane products. You have to grow specific strains in a specific way to get high levels of these ac
