Lion’s Mane - Focus, Memory, Digestion, Blood Sugar & Immune System

Clear head, cool dreams

I have ADHD which sucks but I started taking this because I knew it wouldn't interfere with my medication. It's just food. Now I'm listening and understanding conversations, even remembering what I'm being told. And the best part is I'm always going into a deep sleep every single night. I have dreams constantly, and it feels easier getting out of bed earlier. Ten out of ten!!

Been a positive experience

Giving my honest review for all the skepticals like me out there:
I've been taking Lion's Mane every day for over a month now. If I talk about how I'm "feeling" it could be all placebo effect and situational changes but the real physical change I've noticed after a week of taking it is the improved quality of sleep. So I guess waking up from a good night sleep trickles down to higher energy, improved mood, better focus, and memory. Another thing is I'm a woman in my 30's with bad PMS such as depressed mood and fatigue and this supplement seems to ease the symptoms a little.
Lastly, don't expect drastic changes in your mind, it's a subtle and gradual change but it's for the better. I'm starting to slowly noticing the benefits after a month of taking it.

Makes you go rawr!

I ran across a Ted Talk from Paul Stametz about the wonders of mushrooms and their potential health benefits so I started looking into what would work best for me.

I eventually landed on Lion’s Mane since I felt they provided the best potential health benefits. I chose Natural Fundation Supplements because I get my Tongkat Ali from them which I know works for me and I trust the brand.

I’m starting on a 500mg morning regimen and 200mg in the evening. From what I’ve read, you need to take these supplements for 80-90 days before noticing results so don’t expect to join MENSA any time soon.

Side note: Did you know mensa is also Spanish slang for, “stupid girl?”
