My Experience with Lion’s Mane

Original post in this thread

psychopythonmetrist · 80 points

I bought 90 capsules of Lions Mane about two months ago. I've been taking two capsules (so one gram) a day. I really haven't noticed anything. Well, last week, I decided to double my dose and take two grams a day.

I actually notice the effects. I am more energetic and awake after two grams of lion’s mane. Yesterday I started taking two grams with piperine, and it feels even stronger than before. Maybe it's placebo.

So, if lion’s mane isn't working for you, try and go up on your dose. I wish I had done this sooner; it's actually mentally stimulating and anxiolytic.

On another note, has anyone else tried lion’s mane with piperine? I understand how piperine potentiates other noots, but I'm not sure if this would have any real effect on lions mane or if it's in my head.

Dr. Emil's is not selling actual Lion's Mane according to u/misteryouaresodumb. So whatever you're feeling is not lions main effects.

Piperine has no effect at all on the absorption of mushroom extracts according to u/misteryouaresodumb.

No, I said it did not match the botanical reference material for lion's mane fruiting body, but was close enough to possibly be mycelium. Very different than saying it was not lion's mane at all. Lion's mane mycelium still has effects.

It was Toniq that was totally fake. Not sure what it is, but it was not lion's mane fruiting body or mycelium.

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

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

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
