Hi @JoKalsbeek , we are not disagreeing with you, but could you provide links for the following:

" you could develop peripheral neuropathy due to Vitamin B12 deficiency,"
and
"Maybe Lion's Mane would help with the ADHD" .

I actually hadn't heard that Lions Mane can be beneficial for ADHD, good to know.
Thanks in advance, Melgar.
No idea where I learned the B12 thing. Likely here, actually, or it might've been in The Diabetes Code? But just for the heck of it I googled a bit:

"Vitamin B12 deficiency is mostly detected in patients aged more than 40 years. In this age group, it has been associated with a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric diseases. Symptoms related to vitamin B12 deficiency can be diverse and vary from neurologic to psychiatric. The current evidence points to muscle wasting/weakness, myelopathy, neuropathy, and gait disorders as neurological manifestations. The psychiatric disorders linked to vitamin B12 deficiency range from behavioral disturbances and cognition problems to dementia [3]. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8858590/

and

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11739-014-1157-5 on metformin-related B12 deficiency.

As for Lion's Mane, it's in a heck of a lot of tea's and other supplements pandered to the ADHD community, (they have all sorts, but that ingredient kept popping up consistently, I noticed) so I did a deep-dive one day last year, saw decent reviews and decided to try some myself. But I wasn't in a good place at the time and couldn't tell the Lion's Mane side effect from others (too much going on), and I keep forgetting (because ADHD makes me a goldfish) to try the experiment again.

https://www.harrogateorganics.co.uk...sZ5Q-2LJu73S8_DejSkgwF6ggAtidRcAaAshZEALw_wcB <-- that place sells the stuff, but it's the first thing that popped up for me. Or rather, the Dutch pages on the topic are kind of useless, so I went with this one. ;)

I say a whole lot of things on the forum, and I'm never quite sure what needs a source.
Hugs,
Jo
