If you have histamine intolerance be aware that Lion's Mane may trigger a histamine response. Happened to my partner, which was frustrating since it provided cognitive benefits for her.

It's high in some of the B vitamins, which are important to brain function. She may just have a vitamin deficiency.

The one human trial there shows no difference between active and placebo groups. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/biomedres/31/4/31_4_231...

> Our results show that HE intake has the possibility to reduce depression and anxiety and these results suggest a different mechanism from NGF-enhancing action of H. erinaceus. No, it says that there is a possible difference, but the mechanism is not what they thought it might be

The abstract is just hype. Read the full text. There was no difference between groups. The study failed!

If only I were a mouse. With all the research papers I've seen on HN over the years, I'm pretty sure I could live to be 200.

Remember that all of this research is done on mouse strains in highly controlled lab environments. Many of these results won’t even apply to other strains from what they were tested leave alone mice in the wild.

PS: strains means stable inbred clone producing animals.

Hey there, mind sharing the product? Sounds interesting!

I add Laird Performance Mushroom powder to my coffee… when I can remember. Unfortunately it’s not cheap. I leaned about it from Dr Rhonda Patrick https://lairdsuperfood.com/products/performance-mushrooms?va...

Thanks!

Is this for the purpose of more easily identifying causative factors? Kind of like always developing/debugging in the same environment for reproducible results?

Of the studies I've read, its my opinion that we actually have the knowledge to drastically expand lifespans, but because resources are finite and strained, the decision to use man made drugs to alter certain chemical reactions in the body which fix one problem but cause others, is what's limiting our lifespans, along with glyphosate added to the supply chain at different stages. If you cant afford to go organic, your lifespan and your kids lifespans and their number of offspring will be reduced.

I drink a coffee alternative that happens to have Lion's Mane in it. Can't really be objective on if it has really made a difference in my memory since that's not the reason I primarily bought it (it was to get off coffee which is negatively impacting me).

Yes. But also I think there is certain amount of selection for mice that will behave and cooperate with lab protocols. Meaning, mice strains, that for instance, aggressively destroy stuff, or sleep too much will not be used.
