Should You Supplement With Lion's Mane? - Rhonda Patrick 

Thank you for the summary! Also, nice channel; you have some very useful videos.

@@daktuno thanks you! 😊

Why would the insanely high doses not apply to humans

@@Qanon-y7d that’s just what she was saying, the doses used in animals were ridiculous high compared to what ever has been used in humans

IDK why we pay attention to studies using INSANELY high doses when there are ones that use low to moderate doses, like one study investigating the effect on behaviour caused by a simulated depression in mice, which found an equivalent dose of 1.25 g (for a 75 kg person) to be INSANELY effective, significantly more effective than half that dose and with little further improvement with twice that dose. In another study they induced Alzheimer's and investigated the effect of lion's mane supplementation for 4 weeks on characteristic behavior and acetyl choline. Lion's mane was INSANELY effective at counteracting the symptoms and raising acetlycholine. The most effective dose for restoring acetylcholine was indeed very high (corresponding to 19 g for a 75 kg person), but there were clear improvements even with the lowest dose of 1.9 g and in terms of behavior, the lower dose actually provided most of the maximum observed benefits. Since we know that lino's mane take quite some time to produce its effects, had the study been for more than 4 weeks, I'm pretty confident the difference between the doses would have gotten even smaller. "The other showed improvement in both the lions mane AND control group." So what? That's the whole point of a control group, to eliminate any effect not caused by the intervention by comparison to it. If you do that you see an INSANE improvement vs. control.

I came here to say the same thing 😊

@@kristinmiller5930 me too :D have heard Mushroom Overlord Paul Stamets say it multiple times. His company Host Defense talks about why betaglucan levels are unreliable and not the whole picture Search: hostdefense The Truth About Mushroom Mycelium i like a mix of both mycelium and fruit to get a mix of it all

That interpretation of the raise in your white blood cell count might be wrong. If you Are an otherwise healthy person, usually count goes up only when there's some sort of pathogen or allergen going around in your body. Maybe you are ingesting some bacteria or something.

@@estevanboanerge6751I know from experience that Reishi helps my immune system. My prostate cancer psa dropped strongly by taking Reishi and green tea extract.

100% fruiting body btw. I hope better quality studies are done soon because I am a stickler for scientific proof but I really do feel mushrooms are effective. I mostly stick to magnesium and inositol besides the mushrooms and those are also incredible.

What’s their website?

no, as a middle aged woman, she uses a lot of oil, and orange color on her skin - so every video looks like bad skin. This is not how young skin looks like.

Awesome. Do you find it on trees? I think I remember seeing a huge one on a tree in a cemetery years ago.

@@martinaee In my area it only grows on dead or dying Beech trees. The nice thing about Lion's Mane is that it's hard to confuse it with any poisonous mushrooms as it's fairly unique. I still did my research and consulted with a biologist before I started foraging it heavily but it's great stuff.

that sounds amazing.

Find a local mushroom farm lions mane are pretty tasty they taste like seafood

which product are u talking about?

@vladrileynavilys Double Wood Supplements, Lion's Mane and Turkey Tail mushroom capsules.

No, god no. This video was already a lot of talk without a lot of evidence. Stamets will only further deteriorate that ratio. If you need that unsubstantiated content simply watch Joe Rogan.

@@mytelevisionisdeadstamets will get unalived by the mushroom mafia if he tells the secrets 😂

@@jamesj9744 haha yeah he better keep it those to himself I'm sure we all understand, but best still buy his books though

​@@jamesj9744 probably will. No joke

What brand do u buy?

@@AlfredodelosReyes-k5r vit4ever or bulksupplements.

She supplements collagen and uses a plain facial lotion, presumably with sunscreen.

too much oil and moisturizer smothered on - it looks weird when middle agers do it, since it's not natural - and makes them look older. common mistake.

Congratulations for sharing... What is the form of ingestion: fresh, dry, powder or liquid? And what is the dosage? Thanks!

How high is your high dose?

@@Maloha486 For me extract at 1,5 gram 5%betaglucan 30%polysacharide clearly does nice stuff!

What brand do you buy?

CocoaVia supplement

CocoaVia, fyi, if it's worth the price.

What brand were you using?

Honestly - you can't trust the quality when it's on the shelf. They don't use fruit bodies, which contain all the beta glucans (where the health benefits are). Amazon and grocery store products are largely myceliated grains, and the studies are on the fruit bodies itself and NOT the mycelium. I would only buy the fruit body or dried and powdered fruit bodies from a local cultivator. When you supplement, don't supplement daily. Keep on a schedule only... 4 days on, 3 off... or 2 on, 1 off.... or 1 on, 2 off... Some people have an adverse side effect from daily supplementation of Lions Mane. Start low and measure your doses.

@@2buds1shroom The full uncut mushrooms in the fresh produce area, are not these inclusive of the fruit bodies

@@jeffwilliams7054 Does your store sell the Lions Mane fruit? If so, go for it! Lions Mane is a specific mushroom though. It's not to be confused with the others like Portabella, White, Shiitake, etc.

Try nonfungible mushrooms. Great product!

​​@2buds1shroom So what about Host Defense Paul Stamets company, he sells lions mane mushroom capsules and he takes it himself.

Same

Pretty sure she said cocoavia

CocoaVia

I gave up after the first 5 minutes. Too much filler to answer a question, i'm out.

It’s always the people with low attention spans complaining the most about this. I can see why you are researching products that help with brain health and concentration, you clearly need these products.

​@@Toybingeror busy people

I think the video you should be watching first is how & why you should get better at patience
