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
