3) In my own experience, anywhere from 2-5 grams per day, split into 2 doses, seems ideal. I have not experimented with higher doses due to cost. At this dose, I get acute effects, including:
- Improvement in vision (higher contrast between distinct objects, greater colour saturation, and enhanced depth perception).
- Improvement in short-term memory (excellent for information rich jobs or activities).
- Greater equanimity (more stable mood, mild anxiolysis)
- Reduced stomach distress (can reduce the unpleasant effects of acidosis or bad digestion)
All these effects are non-placebo (you may ask and challenge me to produce the grounds for such assertion if you wish), and are consistent with the scientific and anecdotal/historical literature on this mushroom.
Hello Heraclitean,
I'm not challenging you, but could you post some links to studies on Lion Mane's effect on stomach distress? I would like to send them to my gastrologist.
My Lion's Mane capsules arrived in the mail today. As soon as I manage to get anything closely resembling 8 hours sleep in the one night I am going to start taking them.
