Our Members Asked:
Do lion's mane supplements improve memory or cognitive function in older adults?
Reviewed and edited by Tod Cooperman, M.D.
Answer:
Based on the limited available evidence, probably not. Some research has shown a benefit with lion's mane on certain measures of memory and cognitive function, but results have been inconsistent and most improvements have been modest, at best. Sign in for our full answer, including details about the research studies, how forms of lion's mane differ, and safety concerns with lion's mane, including names of products found to be adulterated.For information about other supplements that might help improve memory or cognitive function, see our answer to the question Do any supplements really help with brain function, like memory and cognition?
