TEST RESULTS
While more human studies are certainly needed, a small double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in 2009 on 50 to 80-year-old Japanese men and women diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment.
One group took 250mg of lion’s mane extract 3 times a day for 4 months while the other group took a placebo. Those who took the lion’s mane “showed significantly increased scores on the cognitive function scale compared with the placebo group.” However, 4 weeks after they stopped taking the supplement, the benefits stopped.
Another takeaway from this study: the lion’s mane had no adverse effects on the participants.
