Lions Mane

Dosage: 

Most tinctures come with a dropper for precision, and the general rule of thumb is:

• Standard dose: 1–2 mL (about 30–60 drops), 1–3 times daily

• Beginner’s dose: Start with 0.5–1 mL (15–30 drops) once daily, then nudge it up after a week.

But wait — it’s not that simple. The right amount depends on a few things:

Your Body & Goals

• Lightweight or sensitive? Stick to the lower end.

• Using it for focus vs. nerve repair? Cognitive benefits might show up faster than long-term nerve support.

Timing Matters

• Morning dose = sharper focus.

• Night dose = some find it calming (though a few people get weirdly vivid dreams).

Ingredients:

Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom 

Grain Alcohol 

Warnings: Avoid if allergic to any ingredients 

About the Herb: Lion’s Mane is an intriguing fungus with many potential applications. Today, it is typically known best for its ability to support the health of the brain and nervous system.

Pre-clinical studies into the mechanisms by which Lion’s Mane does so suggest an impressive array of actions in this area, including:

• an ability to stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) – critical to the development and protection of nerve cells – and the growth of developing nerve cells

• neuroprotective qualities

• an increase of myelination, the process by which myelin sheaths coat nerve cells for greater transmission of electrical impulses between these cells

• a reduction of neuronal excitability – as seen in some neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, and associated with sensory hypersensitivity, seizures and sleep issues

Human clinical trials, though still relatively small at this stage, have reinforced the ability of Lion’s Mane to support brain health, revealing significantly improved cognitive function and a reduction in depression and anxiety

We may, therefore, be prudent in using Lion’s Mane to boost general cognitive function, memory and concentration where these are lacking and even as a potential support for more specific conditions impacting brain and nervous system health such as mild dementia/ Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic injury to the brain, post-stroke brain injury, neurological disorders, MS, depression and anxiety.

This marvelous mushroom also has a long history of use for disorders of the digestive tract and has displayed antibacterial, immune-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties and benefit to the cardiovascular system – via the reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure – in pre-clinical studies
