I don’t really notice any effect from the cheap stuff. Amyloban 3399 itself has worked powerfully for me. It helped with positive symptoms by boosting my APs effectiveness (Geodon). It also reduced pain from injured nerves for me, which has become the biggest reason I keep taking it.
My pdoc finds it (Amylobann) works for less than half of people with SZ for positive or negative symptoms. A small group gets highly increased anxiety. The bulk of people taking it do experience lowered anxiety. Those with nerve injuries find it provides relief.
@Ninjastar and @anon4362788 both use lion’s mane and can comment on the effectivness of the expensive and bargain products.
I only use Lion’s Mane from the RealMushrooms company. It’s $30 per bottle/month.
This particular brand is made from the mushroom, not the mycelium which is important. The substances that cause the healing effects are not present in hugh enough quantities in the mycelium to have any effect.
Many, maybe even most, companies use the mycelium because it is cheaper and faster to use than waiting for the mushrooms to fruit. And the can legally still call it Lion’s Mane.
Hey thank you for the reply!
So in your example, that stuff really helps? Are you also on an AP?
Lastly have you tried Amyloban 3399 also?
Just curious, thx
Thank you for this info. How does lion’s mane affect you? I have heard it’s good for mood, but it would be neat to hear your own experience I’m interested in getting some for myself.
I find a fair amount of lions mane where I hunt mushrooms. I cook with it and I feel it has a positive effect on memory and anxiety. I have never taken it as a supplement. Is it any different consuming it fresh to taking the supplements?
