Just throwing this out there as a neurodegenerative in remission. It's not the main reason why. But I can definitely tell when I haven't taken my Lion's mane caps that morning.

This after years of elimination, trial and error out the necessity survival. It's worth a human trial once we can actually measure the effects.

can you say more about your experience? what issues did you have and what else are you doing/have tried?

I can speak about my experience, as someone that's ADHD, and has poor memory. I combined it with bacopa monnieri. My working memory feels like it's gotten a ton better. It took a few weeks for me to realize effects. I was no longer constantly forgetting things, able to manage more while coding, and able to participate a whole lot more during work meetings, as I could actually recall things more readily. I would say that this is just placebo, except that my wife also noticed that I was not constantly forgetting everything. With the concerta shortage hitting my area, I actually stopped taking my stimulants for about 2 months, and while my hyper active tendencies didn't go away, I was able to still perform at work. Having a better working memory made context switching much less expensive. I no longer feel dependent on my meds, and only take them when I know I'll be driving for long periods of time, as they do make me a safer driver.

Side effects Occasional headaches for the first two weeks, this was fixed by ensuring that I had enough magnesium in my system. Also, if you're taking capsules, start out with half the daily dose for a few weeks. Also, a noticeable decrease in sex drive. I think it comes back after a few weeks though. Maca root also counters this- if you see this as a problem.

Also, I will say that no supplement beats out good sleeping habits, diet, and exercise, so your mileage may vary and that's where I would personally start.
