YouTube is full of people saying it fixed their memory, ADHD, and brain fog after decades of struggling. Reddit tells a different story - there's an entire subreddit called LionsManeRecovery where people report anxiety, depression, and what they describe as their lives being destroyed after taking it for just a week. one person said the first few days felt great, then severe anxiety kicked in around day seven. basically it's cognitive roulette - you either get sharper or you get a subscription to r/LionsManeRecovery.
