Lion's Mane Study Product

Registered summary

The rationale for this study is to observe differences in cognitive health outcomes such as short term memory and simple reaction time between a consumer-grade and commercially available Lion's mane mushroom product and a placebo control group. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the impact of the product on cognitive function, mood, focus, motivation, sleep quality, and stress. A consumer-driven, decentralized observational clinical research study is therefore well-suited for evaluating the impact of this product in this population. The full summary is on the listing.
