Default Lions Mane

I have decided to try Lions Mane based on research I have read for brain health and NGF. Now, choosing one is becoming the challenge. There are so many, with different extraction methods, forms, brands, etc.

Does anyone have experience in taking Lions Mane, their experience/results, as well as a reputable brand and type/extraction method for highest potency/absorption? I am considering one in a liquid form for convenience. There is one by Fungi Perfect online (Fungi Perfecti, Host Defense Mushrooms, Organic Lion's Mane Extract, Memory & Nerve Support, 2 fl oz (60 ml) that I am considering.

May 2013 - Motorcycle accident. Hit head falling off motorcycle at 80-100km/h after hitting a median and knocked unconscious. Taken to hospital via ambulance. Partial loss of vision on the way. Cleared of any internal injuries at via CT and released.

May 2013 - Early morning upon arriving back from hospital, I started uncontrollably shaking (not a seizure), more so shock related. Paramedics to home and back to hospital. Cleared again and sent home.

August 2013 - Feeling normal and 100% better, I started to engage in normal activities, including full time work with no symptoms. I fell unconscious in my home, striking my head and waking up in a pool of blood and vomiting profusely. Noticeable trauma to face and nose upon waking up. Very nauseous and taken back to hospital. Cleared of any 'visible' injuries aside from superficial. Nausea and light sensitivity were very noticeable, to the point where I could not view a computer, or even TV. Approx. 4 weeks after the fall, I started to experience daily and extreme symptoms of dizziness, faintness, lightheadedness, nausea, tinnitus, neck stiffness/pain that has been present ever since. Some days are better, others very bad.

Tests include:
  • CT x 2
  • MRI x 2
  • Neck x-ray
  • Vestibular assessment (noticed a very slight left eye nystagmus.
  • Physio for neck, jaw shoulders for 1.5 years (stopped in 2015)
  • Heart holter monitor (24 hour)
  • ECG
  • Vision test

All tests yield no results and left with PCS diagnosis.

There was a thread a few months ago that discussed it. The research looks sketchy. Some good results. Some with no benefit. Use the search feature to find the older thread.
