[Gcf51 in reply to reedboat2]

I bruise easy and tend to stay away from things that say may cause bruising, have you notice any tendency toward bruising.

[reedboat2 in reply to Gcf51]

Negative, I don’t have problems with bruising. If you do, you might ask your MD about adjusting your blood clotting time - JG

[jeffmayer]

We're will get lions mane

[reedboat2 in reply to jeffmayer]

I buy online from Real Mushrooms, or go to my local Natural Foods store. I’m sure Whole Foods sells it. Good luck with your search- JG

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to reedboat2]

None of my whole foods, trader joes, etc 'ever' have "lion's mane mushrooms"... i might try some of my local asian grocery stores...

[reedboat2 in reply to PDWarrior1900]

PDW, where do your live?

[reedboat2 in reply to PDWarrior1900]

PDW -,Thrive Market (online) has LM mushroom powder at a reasonable price. Less expensive than Real Mushrooms

[limcheeese22 in reply to jeffmayer]

but online in capsule. Remember to have fruiting body extracts.

[CRMACK1948]

I don’t have PD,but my husband does.I started to take Lions mane from British Supplements 3 weeks ago to help with memory and stress problems.Imfinding that I can remember sets of numbers( phone codes etc) better than I could last month,am also remembering stuff I was previously forgetting( What day do the recycling bins go out? What’s my name?) I’m not on any other meds,so think it must be the lions mane.

[Ghmac in reply to CRMACK1948]

How much do you take and in what form?

[CRMACK1948 in reply to Ghmac]

I have one capsule per day in the morning.If you look up British Supplements web page,and find lions mane extract +uptake blend you can see all the specifications and read reviews.It could give you a lead as to what to look for in a decent supplement.

[JayPwP in reply to CRMACK1948]

Hi, what is the strength of each capsule?

Is Lion’s Mane mushroom Cordyceps? Interesting show on HBO about mushrooms killing 90% of the people on the planet.

[park_bear in reply to kaypeeoh]

No they are different

[JayPwP]

Requesting information

Any specific quality or variant to look for?

Any specific dosage recommended? Capsule, Tablet or Powder?

Any specific brand recommended?

[Little_apple in reply to JayPwP]

powder or fresh is my preference.

Get one with no added fillers and not the mycelium. The medical benefit is not in the mycelium.

I want to learn to grow my own.

[JayPwP]

Please would anyone suggest a trusted and good quality Lion's Mane whole or powder or capsule?

I have no preexperience with Lion's Mane so any suggestions are welcome

[JayPwP in reply to JayPwP]

No suggestions?

[CRMACK1948 in reply to JayPwP]

I’m using Clean Lions Mane from British Supplements,based in Ireland.Not the cheapest,but high dose,completely free from fillers etc.Look at their web site,hundreds of interesting reviews.

[JayPwP in reply to CRMACK1948]

Thank you

[JayPwP in reply to CRMACK1948]

I am only able to get the following

in.iherb.com/pr/evlution-nu...

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to JayPwP]

BEWARE OF THIS PRODUCT! .... the advertising claims it is "organic" but there is no 'ORGANIC' approved label on the bottle

iherb.com/pr/evlution-nutri...

[CRMACK1948 in reply to JayPwP]

sorry I didn’t reply earlier.Isee that if you click onto the iherb site,they sell lions mane powder that is pure,no fillers or nasties,which might be worth trying.

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to CRMACK1948]

thanks!

[JayPwP in reply to CRMACK1948]

Thank you

[PDWarrior1900 in reply to JayPwP]

great post and great doctor! I've watched many of his videos... he's real down to earth and doesn't try to sell you stuff ... i've already got a stack of around 40 supplements ... I had lion's mane in there at one time... i'm taking so much "crap" i have no idea what works or not ... when i run out of something ... i usually don't re-order until it's an essential supplement... too many "unknowns" with supplements: 1) am i really getting what it says on the lable? 2) can the company be trusted to give me 'quality' ingredients? 3) are any of my supplements conflicting with other ones? 4) do i take them with or without food (i've google that a million times) ... it's a crap shoot...

[JayPwP in reply to PDWarrior1900]

I face the same challenges

[Esperanto in reply to PDWarrior1900]

Indeed very original interesting contributions and also a good English listening skills training given his speaking pace. But one of HU's bycatches is that I learn that the medical world is even more complex and opaque than I thought. Brad Stanfield is undoubtedly a serious influencer, but he also has (financial) interests: “Content creators participating in the Amazon Influencer Program earn affiliate commissions from Amazon for qualifying purchases”. For me, this is a whole new incomprehensible world, especially if you are looking for independent disinterested research for your disease. After all, this is not about promoting a raincoat.

[limcheeese22]

I am taking it, it does help

[JayPwP]

Is this a good one to take? Wether to take with food or empty stomach?

Your suggestions are welcome.

Lion's Mane

[PDWarrior1900]

i'm not sure, pal. something you'll have to research as i am only 'eating' mushrooms, not taking them by supplements -- best of luck!

[Gcf51]

  park_bear This link may have been a better one to ask your opinion of.

To link article neurosciencenews.com/mushro....

[park_bear in reply to Gcf51]

It is a cell culture study and not specifically about Parkinson's. It is suggestive - it might help but it's still a long way from evidence of helping in Parkinson's.

[Gcf51 in reply to park_bear]

Thanks

[JayPwP]

From what I have understood, the benefits are only observed as long as Lion's Mane is being consumed.

[Gcf51 in reply to JayPwP]

I would think if you have improvement while taking and lose that improvement, if you stop, that maybe a good reason to start back.
