There have been documented cases of people experiencing difficulty breathing or skin rashes after exposure to lion’s mane mushrooms, likely related to allergies ( 63, 64).

Another 2013 animal study found that lion’s mane extract was more effective at preventing alcohol-induced stomach ulcers than traditional acid-lowering drugs — and without any negative side effects ( 21).

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough, we feel we are getting a quality product sold by a quality firm. Lion’s mane is thought to be safe in even higher doses, but 3g per day seems to be more than adequate for most people.
