Hi there, I'm interested to start a microdosing protocol with the "Stamets Stack": https://thethirdwave.co/microdosing-psilocybin-mushrooms-stamets-stack/
I know how much magic mushroom and Niacin to take, but I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how much Lion's Mane to take.
Here is the recommended dose of Lion's Mane for the "Stamets Stack":
- Erinacines / Hericenones: 50-200 mg --> The actual substance amount --OR-- - Lion’s Mane mushroom at 1%: 5-20g --> The estimated dosage when ingesting the raw mushroom, assuming 1% concentration
I bought this product from Host Defense for the Lion's Mane part of the stack: https://hostdefense.com/products/lions-mane-capsules
Here is a picture of the label: 
My main question is this: How many capsules of Lion's Mane do I take to get within the range listed above?
If it matters, I'm in my 40's, I weight 200 lb, and I'm 6 foot tall and in great overall health.
Thanks!

i've been looking into lion's mane reading user reviews and from what i've gathered, host defense is actually not a good brand - it may used to have been considered good quality back when there were limited options, but not today. apparently it mostly uses mycelluim, instead of the fruiting body where most of the good stuff is. you may wanna consider the brand realmushrooms or any other brand that uses the fruiting body mainly.

Hi, I have very good Lion's Mane tinctures that I make myself if you are interested. They are purely from fruiting body. I do not recommend the mycelium based supplements. I also believe that the tinctures are better because it helps to break down some of the good stuff to be able to make it more absorbable for your body.
I have Lion's Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Chaga / Shiitake - and a blend of all 5 of them also. If you are set on powder, send me a message and I can recommend a very good cheap Lion's Mane powder brand on Amazon I found after testing many of them before I started growing and foraging them. You'd be surprised how many of them are labeled "no fillers" and have cuts in them!

Lion's Mane is the bright red one, turned out really pretty!
