Lionsmane mushrooms

  • I have adinocarcinoma non small cell and been told lions mane will help clear my lungs of nasty mucus , a friend said it shrinks tumours ? Is there  any fact in it please
  • Hello, and thanks for your post.

    Unfortunately, we are not able to advise you about this, as there isn't any current UK guidelines about mushrooms. There are many internet pages about mushrooms and cancer, and lion's mane features a lot. 

    We have information on our website about mushrooms-in-cancer-treatment and the current lack of scientific evidence at the moment to support their use.

    We always advise patients to tell their doctors if they plan to take any supplements or alternative therapies before having any standard cancer treatment. 

    I hope this is of interest,

    Best wishes,
