It works pretty well. Been talking it for years and there seems to be a small noticeable boost. 2 things: 1) the effects are gone if you stop taking it 2) you're going to have some weird dreams if you take it in the evening (ie take it in the morning) Apart from that, I have not noticed any libido, motivation or aphathy side effects but that's a data point of 1. YMMV

Yeah never affected libido for me or motivation. But I also take other supplements inc NMN, Creatine, BCD vits, Zinc, Magnesium, and sometimes Modafinil and eat a meat based diet.

  Tried NMN and NR. Decided to stick with NR. Since we're talkimg supplements I like the OG: fish oil, vitamin D, multivitamin.

Interesting. I have taken it for years as well. It’s one of only two supplements that I’ve ever noticed a very noticeable positive difference from (magnesium is the other, which for me has a very noticeable ability to help me sleep deeper, ie keeps me from waking at night). I take lions mane most nights before bed. Haven’t noticed any weird dreams, nor the other effects around libido or motivation. I’ve been a chronic bad sleeper most of my life, and regularly would wake up feeling terribly in my head (headache, etc) after a subpar night of sleep. Lions mane has completely removed that feeling - my mind is clear in the morning and ready to go. Especially on nights when I go to bed extra late, I know if I take this stuff before bed I’ll be pretty good still in the morning. Years ago I suggested some friends and family try it and nobody has had equally noticeable effects if any, so I no longer do. These things are just super individualized for whatever reason. Cool to hear some others here have benefitted too. I’m not sure if it’s the properties where it helps with inflammation or what it is that benefits me specifically. Would love to know. Also what side effects there are from long term use.
