The Science Behind Lions Mane

Lions Mane, true or mith?

Aren't you curious about the way people talk about lion's mane? It's said everywhere to be something miraculous, special, and all-powerful. The first thing I ask of you, as a reader, is to look for the scientific foundations and studies in humans regarding this mushroom. You don't have to look far to realize that these are speculations; all those claims are based on the benefits it could have in humans, derived from experiments with rats.

The first thing to understand is that many people takes benefits from it, especially the entities promoting this substance with such fervor. Humanity is now seeking to do more: more life, more intelligence, a better body, more memory. From these almost capricious desires, a huge and ancient industry has emerged: supplements that aim to make you believe you need many things to "supplement" the effects they have on your body, health, diet, and now also your mind. They make us feel that exercise alone isn't enough to stay in shape, that no matter how well we eat, we'll always need a vitamin pill, some substrate, or supplement. And now they also say that your mind needs something more to be well.

Lion's mane is, in short, regarded as a miraculous supplement. Its popularity and profitability have increased significantly, opening the possibility for websites, newspapers, and magazines to talk about it to gain visibility. All these references come from studies conducted on rats or from doctors paid to fully support lion's mane. Not to mention that many of these pages simply copy-paste from others. On the other hand, you can find this information on the internet and in YouTube reviews, which are obviously sponsored by the brands distributing this mushroom. With all this information, it's hard to question whether what they say about its benefits is true.

But on this page, we won't talk about miracles or experiments with rats. We only want to show you the other side of the story, the one that has been silenced and is based on real stories. People who took a supplement promising many cognitive benefits for nearly $100, and ended up suffering severe brain damage, one of them spending half a million dollars trying to heal the hell he experienced from consuming this substance. This is happening to thousands of people around the world and we have collected already hundreds of testimonies.

This page was created by the founder of the community that opens the door for people to share their horror stories. Our goal is to help understand the effects that has devastated many lives, regardless of nationality, economic status, or age.

We have been rejected and silenced by the millionaire giants seeking profit, regardless of the effects of their actions. I also was a victim of the horrors caused by lions mane, and since I lived that nightmare, I have mostly dedicated myself to sharing my experience and creating a space for those who have gone through the same. 

Together, we want to raise our voices and prevent you from also becoming a victim of that hell.
