Has it in yours?

Yes I score several points higher consistently in IQ tests, and I have very wild and vivid dreams.

Sorry, meant to reply to you earlier.

I got some Lion's Mane capsules from Amazon (though I'm not sure how pure they are; for all I know they crushed up some whitecaps and put those in there). I started with 1/3 the recommended daily dose and started having slight headaches. That was the end of that experiment. :-(

How do you avoid the practice effect as a confounder in frequent IQ testing?

Don't get me wrong, if you feel like it helps you then go for it, but objective claims deserve objective evidence.

See https://nootritious.com/nootropics/lions-mane/

Specifically, erinacines and hericenones.

That doesn't answer the question about the confounding factor.

You're right. My mistake.
