Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom | Nammex® Whole Fruiting Body | 50% Polysaccharides, 30% Beta Glucans | No Synthetic Binders or Fillers | UK Made by Brainpower Supplements®

The item comes nicely packaged in a box with a pleasing modern design. However one could argue if it’s necessary as the box pretty much end up in a bin straight after opening. I presume the purpose is to prevent oxidation of the product through exposure to light, but equally dark coloured bottle could have been used to make the packaging more eco-friendly.The dosage is a bit cumbersome as it’s 3 capsules per day. It is not specified wether this should be taken in one dose or three separate ones. However to maximise absorption the recommendation based on other supplements would be to have 1 capsule three times a day. Now, this is great if one can remember to always bring the supplement with them, but let’s be honest most people want to take their supplement once a day and forget about it.Capsules are relatively large, but easy to swallow. They have faint mushroomy smell...which is not a huge surprise. As the smell is fain it shouldn’t be off-putting for people who don’t like mushrooms.It's difficult to establish the actual effects of long term supplementation, but even in the 2-3 weeks that I've been taking it I can definitely notice less mood swings and lessened tendency of anxious or depressed moods. My memory also seems to have improved slightly - as a generally sleep deprived parent of your children this is actually quite impressive.

I’ve been taking these lion manes mushroom tablets for a while now just before bedtime. I have found that they have helped me with my sleep by helping me shut of. Although they are not entirely a sleeping tablet I have found that my sleep feels less interrupted. Previously I would wake up several times during the night due to stress, anxiety and over thinking but this has helped me to close off those thoughts. It’s a marvellous product as although it helps me sleep it doesn’t make me feel drowsy at all therefore theoretically it can also be taken in the morning or the day. I can’t really comment on taking it at these times as I have only taken it just before bedtime.The capsules are a good size and easy to swallow with only a hint of an after taste however it is not nothing offensive the tablets come in secure container which is very easy to open. I look forward to taking the tablets for a longer period of time to see how they stand up with regards to my anxiety and sleep patterns.

The capsules are nicely packaged in a plastic bottle with a metal lid. Exactly the same as the image advertised.I think the company should consider using a glass bottle instead of a plastic one, but overall it’s a simple, clean looking product.You get a month’s worth of capsules for the price point, which is very reasonable. These are gluten free, dairy free, vegan friendly and have no artificial nasties - very much organic.The capsules smell very earthy, but not unpleasantThe dosage is three capsules per day, and I’ve been taking them solidly for a few weeks now. I didn’t feel any difference initially, but after the first week I’ve found I’m able to concentrate on work tasks for longer and I don’t feel as mentally fatigued. Not a massive difference, but this could be down to a number of reasons. Another benefit is the immune boosting properties - I’ve not come down with any of the office colds working their way around since taking these.Only reason this is a four star review is because I didn’t feel a big difference when taking these capsules, and they are quite difficult for me to take because they are large capsules.There’s a lot of positive research about Lion’s Mane, it’s definitely worth a try if you think you need a bit of a cognitive boost.

Firstly the product arrived quickly and instructions stated to take 3 capsules per day with water, I did not know if I should take them all together in a morning or spread them out through the day. I opted to take them throughout the day which helped to keep my energy levels high but this could also be the reason why I found it hard to sleep some evenings as my mind was remained active late into the evening. I have been taking them for just over two weeks, so for the next two weeks I will take them all in a morning to see if that helps with my sleep.The capsules are quite big but this was not a problem for me as I have taken supplements before and don’t have a problem swallowing tablets.I have not experienced any side effects since taking them.The positives I have found include increased energy levels throughout the day, I have been out walking every day between 3-5 miles, I have done two 1000 jigsaws in the last two weeks so I’m thinking these supplements have helped me concentrate more and I have also not experienced any headaches in the last two weeks, this could be personal to me or it could be a coincidence.The cost works out 60p a day which I think is worth it for the increased energy levels.

I had read Lion’s Mane helped to repair nerve damage, was good for migraine sufferers and boosts the immune system. I thought I would benefit from it as I’ve had strokes and it would help with that and I also suffer from a rare form of migraines. I had high hopes for it. At first I had no problems taking it, but after about 5 days I started to experience some very troubled sleep patterns. The only thing I could put it down to was the LION’s Mane. I decided to continue taking them for another eek to see if my body could adjust to taking them. After the week was up, things had not changed, so I stopped taking them. The troubled sleep pattern stopped. I tried taking them again and the same thing happened. I think Lion’s Mane is not for me.

Make sure you get fruiting bodies! Great quality for price!
