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: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.
"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

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.

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