HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lion's Mane+ by Lifecykel

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,012 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Lion's Mane+ contains two active forms of lion's mane mushroom—the mycelium extract and the fruiting body extract—plus kakadu plum, a fruit rich in vitamin C. The product comes as a liquid and includes water and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

These 3 active ingredients are the working parts of the formula.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Memory, Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Dementia, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Lion's Mane Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Alzheimer disease (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lion's Mane Mushroom is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cognitive function, Cognitive impairment, Dementia, Memory, and more.

The evidence for lion's mane mushroom on Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, athletic performance, cancer, cognitive function, and cognitive impairment is insufficient—the data we have doesn't support or rule out benefit for any of these uses. Kakadu plum is possibly effective for constipation, but the data for osteopenia, dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol or triglycerides), and hepatitis (liver inflammation) is also insufficient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lion's Mane Mushroom Plum

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lion's mane mushroom is generally well tolerated as a food, but long-term supplement safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and skin rash.

Kakadu plum is generally well tolerated too, though it may cause flatulence and diarrhea; rarely, dried plums or plum pits have caused bowel obstruction. Since there isn't enough safety data in pregnancy or breastfeeding, both ingredients advise against use during those times—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lion's Mane Mushroom, Plum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs) like warfarin or aspirin, diabetes medications, or immunosuppressants. These are the medication types with Moderate-severity interactions documented for this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Lion's Mane+ may be worth considering if you're interested in lion's mane or plum for general wellness, but talk with your pharmacist first if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, or drugs that suppress your immune system. The evidence for its marketed purposes isn't solid yet.

Your healthcare provider can help you decide if it's appropriate for your situation.
