Animal research has found that lion’s mane mushroom extract has anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in mice ( 10). These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. A 2019 study published in the journal Nutrients showed that, in mice, two months of oral supplementation “reversed the age-decline of recognition memory.” (3) Lion's mane powder at a daily dosage of 500 mg can help people with diabetes control their blood sugar levels. This dosage can also increase insulin levels and reduce the risk of pain associated with diabetes complications like neuropathy.The form of Lion's mane supplements can influence the appropriate dosage. For instance, supplement powder might require a different amount than capsules or tinctures.
