In reply to Astrik. Hi Astrik, standardized supplements will have a higher and more reliable concentration of active compounds.

For addressing the more severe cases, could one get the benefits of lions mane by just eating them frequently or supplementing is the only way?

Lion’s mane is a histamine (causes histamines) so be careful with that. If you are already taking a seasonal allergy medication, that should help. This supplement easily crosses the BBB (blood brain barrier) so it does help with most mental situations. L-Tyrosine (sp) is a great amino acid to assist with dopamine. Good luck to all. :)

I took lions mane 1 month then i developed neuropathy but this was because i have severe copper deficiency and not because of the lions mane ( I think)
So i just started taking lions mane,forskolin and acetyl l carnitine along with 4 mg of copper a day to see if i can reverse these neurological damages i have developed because of copper deficiency

Hey I’ve taken Lion’s Mane in the past and have found it very effective. I am also TH1 dominant so is there a substitute for Lion’s Mane that won’t boost TH1?

QWZZA, thank you so much for your informative comment. I am very surprised by your answer as it’s not the answer I had imagined but it makes a lot of sense to me. I had learned since being poisoned by carbon monoxide that CO can affect both dopamine and serotonin in the brain. So it makes sense that if dopamine can be lessened by lions mane that I would see a regression in symptoms. I was also giving it to my son and he had the same symptoms of brain fog and he had also been CO poisoned. We both quit taking it and the fog cleared up after a bit. Thank you again.

To SM, regarding brain fog with lion’s mane:
Brain fog with otherwise “brain boosting” supplements is often due to increased acetylcholine and/or prolactin leading to decreased dopamine. You might consider supplementing with the amino acid L-tyrosine (a dopamine precursor), mucuna pruriens (contains L-DOPA), or other dopaminergic compounds.

I bought Lion’s Mane from Host Defense three weeks ago. After about two weeks I noticed feeling mentally sharp and more energetic. I suffer intermittently from brain fog induced by my hypothyroidism. This product has made me feel like my old self. I have had no negative side effects…..Only positive.

I recently took lions mane for about a week and I had notably increased memory fog. It was hard for me to think and function properly and I would frequently forget what o was doing in the middle of doing it. I have improved since stopping. I was taking host defense bought from amazon. I was carbon monoxide poisoned about a year ago and while time has healed much of the injury I wanted to take lions mane to help heal lingering issues. What’s suprised me most is it felt like I was regressing while taking it. Another weird symptom I noticed was having issues with spatial perception such as my brain getting confused about if something was to the right or left of me or up or down. This was something that I had issues with after CO poisoning but improved with time so it felt weird to me experiencing it again.

I’ve been taking only 1 capsule a day for 30 days, along with St Johns Wart, I’m hesitant to say I’m feeling great, more energy, and seem to be thinking clearer. (Gifted w ADHD;) Although I’m not sure if I’m Th1 or Th2?
