Lion's Mane Supplements UK — What the Evidence Says

Clinical dose range studied500–3,000mg per day

What the research examines

Clinical studies have examined Lion's Mane primarily for cognitive function, nerve growth factor stimulation, and mild cognitive impairment. Most human trials used standardised fruiting body or mycelium extracts over 8–16 week periods.

Common uses & what to look for

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is commonly included in supplements targeting focus & cognition. When evaluating products, look for brands that publicly disclose their extract concentration, source type (fruiting body vs. mycelium), and beta-glucan content — these details are the markers Cogniscore uses to assign disclosure scores.

Clinical studies have primarily used doses of 500–3,000mg per day. Products listing a proprietary blend without disclosing individual ingredient amounts cannot be meaningfully compared against these trial doses.
