Lion’s Mane Mushroom

Lion’s Mane Mushroom, also known as Yamabushitake, is an edible mushroom that is often taken as a supplement due to ability to support brain health and cognitive function. Lion’s Mane is particularly popular due to its ability to support nerve-grow factor (NGF) levels, a neurotrophic factor which is involved in regulating the proliferation and survival of new neurons.

The typically recommended dosage of Lion’s Mane is 1000 mg per day, taken with food. This dose can be repeated with each meal if desired, for a total daily dose of 3000 mg. It’s not recommended to exceed 3000 mg per day due to a lack of research at higher doses, though no specific safety concerns for higher doses have been raised.
