Lions mane 8:1 dosing question

Original post in this thread

NYdownwithydemons · 10 points

So I received my lions mane 8:1 extract in the mail yesterday and being a bigger guy I took 2 capsules which equals 1000mg, the effects were noticeable and very nice.. This morning I also took 2 capsules and enjoyed it again.. So my question is the serving size is 2 capsules per day, if I take two in the morning together and two in the afternoon is that too much, am I killing some benefits?? Will I develop a tolerance? The recommend dose is 1 capsule up to twice a day, I’m basically asking if it’s ok to double that.. any info on dosing or anything you find interesting about this supplement I’d love to hear, thanks!

Sure, you are okay to double that. That's perfectly fine. We are always conservative on our dosing recommendations. You can always move up if you react better to a higher dose.
