Real Mushrooms Lion’s Mane Capsules - Organic Lions Mane Mushroom Extract for Cognitive Function & Immune Support - Brain Supplements for Memory and Focus - Vegan Mushroom Supplement, 300 Caps

This supplement was bought for a Parkinson's patient also diagnosed with dementia to see if it might help. He stopped taking the medications prescribed for Parkinsons some time ago because they didn't help with his symptoms and caused extreme sleepiness and brain fog. His symptoms (shaking, slowness of movements, freezing, delusions and increasing dependency) have been worsening and have reached a point where even a supplement-averse person (which he is) will consider taking Lions Mane. Two days in, so the patient has had two full doses (ie two capsules taken with a meal in the evening). It is very early days, but on day one he said he felt 'just a little bit better' and the same this morning. He is now able to dress himself again, could get to his feet more easily from a sitting position and has begun to show an interest in doing some puzzles to exercise his brain. So we will be continuing with the supplement. Will come back in a few weeks for another report on how things have gone. 30th April The patient's days so far, taking this supplement (2 capsules per day, together after a meal) have been variable, sometimes 'sleepy' days with all the old symptoms, but, surprisingly, sometimes some very good days when it seemed as though some aspects of the disease had been pushed aside. On the very good days he seemed much more alert and quicker in his movements. The patient himself noticed that his voice sounded 'normal' (he has been speaking with a low, mumbly voice for two years +). The shakes are still there. So are the delusions, except that on one good day the patient started talking about them as though they were 'objects', like dreams, rather than being taken over by them. No new or negative symptoms. Overall, quite encouraging. Today we are upping the dose from 2 capsules to 3. Will report in a few weeks on how this went. 29 May The patient has gone down with an infection and the mushroom extract has been stopped until he is better. It took us a while to realise that a worsening of physical symptoms and dementia were not due to a deterioration in his Parkinsons condition or to the mushrooms but to additional illness. The intention is to re-start the supplement at the recommended dose of two per days once the patient recovers.

Always a good purchase, can tell the difference when I take them daily. Less brain fog and sharper recall on knowledge. Helps with work tasks and general memory.

Can give you fog if taken daily. Try taking everyother day.

This stuff is mental. I'm like Bradley Cooper in Limitless. Super focused. Creative. More organised mentally and my dreams are wild. Bounce out of bed and just get on with life. Bish Bosh!

I think these work well with me and will continue to take.

I’ve tried this supplement for a good 4 weeks or so, but ended up with headaches and slight nausea (despite taking it exactly as described). I guess it’s just not for me.

Works well

First of all, this product is going to effect everyone slightly differently. After 7 months of daily use, I am now stopping completely. I did enjoy the periods of mental clarity in my initial use and I've thoroughly enjoyed the incredibly vivid and complex dreams I've had nearly daily as a result of my use (which I journaled). However this product is NOT organic. It wasn't until I stopped taking these that I realised they were causing serious digestive issues such as stomach cramps, nausea, irregular bowel movements, acid reflux and even blood in stools. I think I'd even stopped benefitting from the mental focus because my dreams had become more and more frequent (multiple dreams a night), I'd feel extremely fatigued in the day and sometimes struggle for breath and I'd need at least 10 hours sleep a night to function. So I guess what I'm saying is rule out long term use 100%! Because it's not worth it, this isn't anything like the beautiful organic lions mane you find in Asia. It may be fun to try for a few weeks but the side effects will most certainly start to outweigh the benefits.
