Swanson Lion's Mane Mushroom - 60 Capsules, 500mg Each

I’d been having issues with my memory and concentration. After taking the lions mane tablets, I noticed a significant difference in my memory, concentration and overall mood.

I'm 44 years old and it has been suggested to me by various people throughout my life that I have ADHD, although I've never been officially diagnosed. I do find it difficult to focus, especially when I'm stressed, so when I got the harebrained idea to go to medical school at the age most people are paying off mortgages and having grandchildren over to bake cookies, I knew I was going to need some help in the focus department. I don't like prescriptions, but tried one anyway because I was desperate, but it just made me feel sick. Then one day I mentioned that I was having occasional 'brain fog' to a man in a health food store (probably due to my old lady estrogen fluctuations, but who knows, I've only been in medical school a year and a half- ie, I'm not a doctor) and he recommended Lion's Mane mushroom. I bought the (very expensive) brand they sold and was amazed at how it actually worked for the brain fog, and for focus in general. I did some looking online to find a more reasonably priced brand and found Swanson, and I've used it ever since. I completely rely on this to get me through the school day now, and am so thankful to have found it. I'm sure, like most things, the effect depends on the individual, but for me- I'm a scatter brained chick who's been out of college for almost as long as most people in my class have been alive, and I'm doing decently well learning about things I never dreamed were so freaking complex, so yeah, I definitely recommend trying it!

I loved the price point and low cost per serving. I don’t know that it is the fault of this product, but I had no noticeable cognitive benefits from taking this Lions Mane. With that said, I’ve never noticed cognitive benefits from lions mane after trying it from numerous reputable vendors. It was as good as any other Lions Mane I’ve bought on Amazon. The purported benefits of Lions Mane would lead me to consider continue buying it once my financial situation becomes better.

Used this for years, I feel it helps my moods a lot. Well worth the investment.

I've been a student of Nootropics for a few years now and Lion's Mane has often been a supplement that's been suggested as a cognitive enhancer, but it comes with a caveat. Typically one has to "stack" Lion's Mane with other nootropics such as one of the racetrams, cdp-choline, and other assorted supplements in this category (a google search of nootropic stack will educate interested parties further). The effect of Lion's Mane is not like flicking on a light switch, it takes several months of steady useage and for optimal results, stacked with other supplements for its use to lead to any gains. Ideally, one takes it daily in a time frame measured in years. Swanson's purity control is fairly decent, though I don't have my own labs to verify their claims, online research suggests they can be relied on to deliver a fairly decent quality of product. Because of the cost of this product, especially because I've found supplies that are significantly cheaper, I cannot recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a bountiful pocketbook. If cost is of no concern to you, add a star, otherwise 3 stars is as best as I can give this in good conscious.
