Swanson Lion's Mane is a food supplement, and according to the label you should consult a doctor before use. This is especially important in the following situations:
- Chronic conditions — if you have diagnosed conditions that require ongoing monitoring.
- Taking medicines — mushroom supplements can interact with some medicines; check with a doctor or pharmacist.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding — the safety of mushroom-based food supplements during these periods has not been sufficiently studied, so taking them is not recommended without a specialist's approval.
- Teenagers — if you are considering the supplement for a child or teenager, the decision should be made together with a paediatrician.
- Sensitivity to mushrooms — if you have a known allergy or heightened reaction to mushrooms, start cautiously and monitor how you feel.
