Any experience with lion's mane?

We are all tempted to try just about anything that claims to help with memory loss. Never tried lions mane with mom. Doctor should always be consulted.

Sissy decided on the infrequent times she was with mom she would try coconut oil. Never told me she was doing this. One day I found the jar and asked if she had been giving it to mom. A sheepish yes. No wonder mom's chronic D was so much worse after sissy visits.

Always check with doc first. So many false claims of things that might help yet no research to back it up. Some of these can actually cause harm.

This mushroom powder is still a chemical and can react with her medication, therefore it is very important that her doctor and pharmacist are informed that she's also taking this. There is no FDA review of this food supplement. An article I read promoting lion's mane states, "it’s important to note that most of the research [on lion's mane] has been conducted in animals or in test tubes. Therefore, more human studies are needed." This means there is no reliable proof that this supplement does anything at all, in fact you don't even know if what's in the powder is actually lion's mane since there is no accountability for food supplements like there is with the FDA and prescription medicines. You don't know if it was manufactured/processed in sanitary/sterile conditions and you don't know if one jar has the same strength/dosage as the next. Caveat emptor (buyer, beware).
