Lion's mane for lifters: the complete guide
Lion's mane is bought on two label facts: fruiting body rather than mycelium, and a stated extract ratio. It has no authorised health claims in the UK and the human research is small; this section describes studies as studies.
What lifters actually ask about lion's mane
Whether it helps focus in the gym or replaces pre-workout. Whether it is a stimulant. Morning or night. Whether it can go with coffee, creatine or magnesium. Fruiting body against mycelium, and what 5:1 or 10:1 means. How long it takes and whether to cycle it. Each is one page here.
The numbers that matter
Fruiting body or mycelium on the ingredients line. The extract ratio. Mushroom equivalent per capsule and, where printed, the extract weight and beta-glucan percentage. Capsules per day, then price divided by days. Capsule shell, because HPMC means vegan.
