I have mild cognitive impairment ( which will probably progress to Alzheimer’s as it is in my family)i have been using my Lions Mane Ordinary mushrooms for a few weeks now .So easy to drop a scoop in my morning coffee and you barely notice the difference in taste… easy peasy ! I wasn’t sure whether they were making a big difference ( although I do notice my clarity is a lot better than it was ) This morning my husband informed me that I am a lot better ! In fact he said I seem back to my normal self again !!! I was so chuffed !
I've been taking Ordinary Lion's Mane Extract for roughly 3 weeks now.
It's a pretty easy routine to get into, by adding it to coffee, tea or even porridge. Clumping can be an issue, but if you sieve it; or heat it on the stove; or whisk it with a little bit of hot water, it blends together fairly well.
Taste wise, I actually like it a lot! It's a little earthy, almost sweet even, & more complimentary rather than overpowering when mixed in drinks & food. I haven't tried drinking it by itself in hot water though!
As for the benefits, I do feel there is a noticeable improvement. I do take other supplements, so it can be hard to pin-point what is causing what, but they all synergise together (Ashwaganda, Rhodiola). However, there are improvements I feel can attest to Lion's Mane effects:
1.) Even when I am exhausted, I am still mentally clear. Before, if I was tired, I'd be mentally numb & any cognitive tasks I just wouldn't and couldn't do. That isn't an issue anymore, and my mental clarity remains intact despite how I may be feeling physically.
2.) My immunity has significantly improved. These couple weeks I've been pushing myself and what should have been getting me sick hasn't. Even when I felt kind of ill, my body bounced right back after rest. This attests to Beta-D-Glucans benefits.
3.) Gut health has also been great due to its prebiotic effects (synergises well with the probiotic I take too).
I think it has also helped with stress-management, but hard to pin-point as Ashwaganda & Rhodiola also support here too.
Overall, I am very happy with this product. It's just as potent while being far cheaper and accessible than competitors. Ordinary Mushroom also demonstrates great transparency with their products. It would be great if they tested for other active ingredients to understand it's Neuroregenerative effects.
I look forward to taking it long-term to see how it fairs with promoting Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), beyond it's shorter-term adaptogenic effects.
Loving Ordinary Lions Main 😀 have been talking this in my morning coffee hit for two months now, as a 57 year old woman it is definitely helping with my brain fog and will continue to use. Thank you
I’ve been adding Lion’s Mane to my morning smoothie and love it! It gives me a nice, clean pick-me-up without any jitters, and I feel more focused throughout the day. The flavour blends in really well, so it’s an easy addition to my routine. Definitely a new favourite.
I so love the Lion's Mane I feel focused and revived after my morning coffee highly recommend.
I love my lion’s mane! I have noticed an improvement in energy and I’m sleeping better too.
Fantastic product. Easy to add to my morning coffee at work. Got me through a very busy time with clarity and energy without feeling wired. my pack has now become “team mushies” and they all have it. Highly recommend this product.
Enjoying putting a teaspoon in with my morning coffee. Great for keeping the energy levels up during the day. Feeling a lot calmer since starting the morning with the Lions Mane.
I add this to my overnight oats and the flavours work really well together.
I definitely have more energy and don’t experience the ‘afternoon slump’ or feel the need for that 3pm coffee as much.
Great product
Huge difference in clarity and focus and ability to concentrate throughout the day
Has improved my mind made me more alert more switched.
Fabulous product.
I have it in my black coffee every morning. Starts off my day great and no mid day slump. I didn't take it for 2 weeks and could totally notice. Lions Mane Mushroom is daily ritual l!
Great for avoiding the afternoon slump stops me from reaching for the sugar, Helps me stay focused throughout the day
I've tried a few different brands of LIONS MANE from sources including one from Mullumbimby in Oz which is a hippie town near Byron Bay...ORDINARY mane is the only one that gives me a noticeable cognitive boost added to food or hot drink...all good..ta
Brilliant, I mix in with my black coffee every day. Through bad experiences, I have often struggled to see the good in the world. Lions Mane with consistency has changed this tenfold. I cant believe it, I am genuinely more optimistic about everything.
Love this product. Taste delicious in a morning☕coffee . Peps me up for a day at work.
I started taking your natural product ever morning in my coffee.
And found a real improvement in my focus and stress level.As I have a nurospicy brain it has assisted with some of my symptoms.
I have been Highly recommend to others.
Was a bit sceptical but am definitely able to concentrate for longer - not so many 2pm crashes
I usually have the Lions Mane with coffee no sugar and dose it to 2gms. It does give you a boost. Something that feels like the brain is active and kept me going. However, this doesn’t mean it helps with the stress I feel this adds to the cortisol if anything.
The draw backs; I have had trouble falling asleep if I missed a dose. This product almost feels like it has a half life.
The traces of heavy metals are more than other brands but still not considered unsafe under NZ standards. Mushrooms are sourced China apparently.
What an amazing pure product, I put it on my cereal or if in a hurry swirl around in a little warm water, what a great taste. My job as a busy support worker keeps me focused on the job at hand, I suffer from anxiety if I get stressed and this has really helped as I'm coping with life in general a lot better and Ordinary Lions Mane gad played a big part. 😊
This product is exactly as described, the clarity and focus I've been able to achieve using it has been amazing. Have recommend it to everyone I know!
Fantastic product , does what is described to do, good taste in tee and does not conflict with taste when added to my dishes, it dose not cause any side effects.
Good reliable supplier. I am definitely going to purchase more product from Ordinary Mushrooms.
So 1 teaspoon on my yogurt and fruit every morning for a week now. I blitz the day, i come home still pumped, im organised, i am happy, great changes from adding Lions Mane to my diet.
