Brain Forza Organic Lions Mane Mushroom (Certified) Memory & Nerve Support, 90 Veggie Caps

All brain tonics I have taken, this product has boosted my brain especially remembering names.

Shocked to see that despite trying 3 bottles I noticed no appreciable benefits for my damaged memory. Had very high hopes after reading about neuron-repairing abilities of Lions Mane mushroom. But all hopes dashed! Will not recommend this.

I've been taking brain forza lions mane for two weeks so far and I think it's helping my mind. Not really sure how to measure it, but I think I feel better. I went with Brain Forza because it was priced significantly lower than Paul Stamets' Host Defense.

So, I did research on Lion's Mane mushroom before making a purchase. I have just recently been reading about nootropic compounds. I was recommend this mushroom by a friend. It's a nootropic that has many additional benefits besides it's effects on the brain and a very effective compound. This brand was repeatedly being mentioned in articles for having some of the purist Lion's Mane available on the market. While typical dosage ranges from 500-3000 mg a day, the amount taken depends on potency (30% polysaccharide content being common; this brand has about 69%). Since this brand has more than double the potency of most normal Lion's Mane products, you only need to take about half as much of the max dose (1.5 g) to experience the benefits (No evidence has been show than taking more than 3g has any additional benefits).Lion's Mane works by increasing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Lion’s Mane increases the amount of NGF in the brain, which enhances cognition by reducing inflammation, encouraging neural growth, and improving overall brain health.There is a human study that was performed in Japan that consisted of 50- to 80-year-old individuals that were diagnosed with mild cognitive decline. They were administered Lion’s Mane extract at a total daily dose of 3 g per day for 16 weeks. They found a significant increase in scores on the cognitive function scale without any adverse effects. While I do not suffer from neurodegeneration, I did experience seizures when I was a kid that may have damaged parts of my brain. I will report back at the end of the month and add to this review my findings. My review will be about my experience with Lion's Mane in general and likely will not effect the ratings of this product.

I originally learned about Lion's Mane Mushrooms from the Joe Rogan podcast where he interviews Paul Stamets. I immediately went on Amazon to order these. My parents are both in their 60's, and have memory problems. I already know that they are going to develop worse mental problems as they get older, and after hearing that this helps fix those issues, I wanted them to try it. They are both taking 1 to 2 a day (the recommended dose is 3 per day.) and they haven't noticed any difference, but personally, I do.I'm 28, so my memory is still pretty good, but taking these capsules helped me to realize just how much help I needed. After I take one of these, I feel much more awake and alert...So much so that I don't need coffee. It makes me able to focus on the task at hand, and be more productive. It also helps me sleep better. I normally toss and turn, and if I sleep too long, I wake up in a lot of pain. Taking one of these before bed helped me to lay still and wake up feeling refreshed.I also have far less anxiety after I take one of these. I didn't realize how bad my anxiety was until I now know what a "normal" brain feels like. It's like I can actually feel content with life, relaxed, and optimistic without pushing myself to feel that way. I never thought of myself as someone who needed anxiety medication, because I always worked through my thoughts. However, now that I know I can take an all-natural mushroom that takes away the bad thoughts, of course I love it.People joke that it will make you smarter, but that's not exactly true. It's more like your brain can make connections a lot easier, or like you can pick up pieces of a puzzle and know exactly where it belongs, instead of struggling to figure out where it fits. So, if you combine it with research and studying, I can see how that it would make you "smarter". If I was still in school, I would most definitely take two of these before an exam.I am definitely going to re-order these or find them in my local store once I run out. I highly recommend it.

Great product, quick shipping, came as expected. 100% would recommend. Don't expect immediate results with taking Lion's Mane, give it about 4-6 weeks of consistently taking it everyday. I was in a car accident and am constantly in pain. Needless to say my memory isn't the greatest, I noticed major improvements in my memory around week 4-5. Also improved my mood, probably because I could remember more than an hour in the past for the first time in almost a year. 10/10 would buy again.

In full disclosure, I've only been taking this for a week. The dose is 3 pills, 3x a day or 1x per day. I figured I could take it as I pleased, so I've been taking one in the morning, and 2 before bedtime. In that time I've seen NO changes in my mental clarity or concentration. But I've given the product 4 stars anyway, because it DID, somehow, improve the quality of my sleep, substantially! I'd been struggling for a long time with being able to sleep all through the night. I'd wake up 2 or 3 times throughout the night, and never felt like I was getting adequate sleep. I often struggled to fall back asleep again. From day one of taking the Lion's Mane, I slept without ever waking up once, which has been wonderful, so I'm not going to complain too loudly about this product! It was surely the Lions Mane because ny diet had not changed, nor my excercise routine, nor my environment. Nothing changed except the addition of this supplement to my diet. Because this result was NOT something I was expecting,its also not just placebo! LOL 😂 It didn't do what I expected, but it did cure my sleep disturbances! Now I sleep like a baby 😴
