  • Despite its traditional uses and some promising properties, the antidepressant effects of Lions mane mushroom have not yet been fully validated or compared to conventional antidepressants.

@Petrroll S houbami se moc studií nedělá, není to perspektivní a každá studie je děsně drahá. https://t.co/mv9uVgPTH0 Nepodařilo se mi najít studii, která by ukazovala, jak HE zvyšuje produkci SE, bych řekla, že to nebude tak horké, ale chápu Vaše obavy a též bych váhala.
