Does anyone take Lion's Mane? Did it help any of your symptoms? Did it cause any symptoms to worsen or cause a herx?

One of our Mods used Lions Mane - she isn't on here much anymore - she has healed.

Maybe I can find a thread on it.

I did Lion's Main for a few months. It did nothing for my full body small fiber neuropathy or trigeminal neuropathy.

I don't recall anyone actually saying it helped them...just that they tried it.

Traveler said it helped her burning neuropathy.

Right, it's helped my burning neuropathy and it's helped my tinnitus cut back some. For those that are thinking of trying it, please remember it can take nerves and the myelin sheath a long time to heal, so this is a long term project, but it's helping me. I have committed to staying on it until I no longer see any more benefits, and things are still slowly improving.

Awesome, Traveler!


I really should try it.

I've given it a try like every other supplement. For me personally, it did nothing to keep me on it long term. 30day was enough to decide that it's not for me. I do highly recommend cbd oil however.

For Lion's Mane, to keep dosage reasonable, the extract is what you'll want. For increased NGF levels, there is evidence that ethanol extraction (vs. water extraction) is more effective. The polysaccharide content contains a lot of the beneficial components as well. A standard extract will be 10:1 ratio with 30% polysaccharide content.
