Hey bud - just a heads up - checkout the difference between the Host Defense capsule lion's mane vs extract lion's mane. Unfortunately the capsules are only mycelium on grain, vs the extract - which has both fruiting body + mycelium. Most of the studies on lions mane have been done with fruiting body.
Something like this
Step 1: Tell your parents to spend an hour a day searching for anxiety treatments for you, because it's impossible to help yourself when you have an anxiety disorder [e.g. find a psychiatrist that specializes in anxiety, get genetic testing (e.g. genomind) to find out which medications you should take and which ones you shouldn't take, and have them buy you anxiety-relieving medicines each week that you can test and alternate (e.g. cannabis with THC or CBD only if you're not willing to buy off the dark net and live in a cannabis-free state), kratom, ashwagandha)
Step 2: Go to a psychiatrist (that specializes in anxiety) and test different pharmaceuticals (e.g. different SSRI's, benzos- (take them a couple of times a week, alternating with your anti-anxiety herbs)
Step 3: Buy memantine; I've been taking it for 3 weeks and by day 11 (first day at 20mg) I felt like my normal self, before I developed an anxiety disorder (10 years ago).
Step 4: Become an academic ghostwriter (you can make a quick ad on Craigslist or join a company, you already know how to do it, because you've been a student your whole life, and it's extremely low-anxiety with no awkward human interaction required)
*I've had significant anxiolytic effects from all of these herbs and pharmaceuticals (except for Isodiol's Calm spray; I have the crystals)
PM me for more details about my steps and for help researching solutions for you.
You can be a completely different person, a person that you love, are proud of, and that feels well and happy in just a day.
The stuff in the other reply is also on amazon for like $30 cheaper.
I do notice a difference with Alpha Brain, but it's too expensive. I've used several kinds of "brain pills" and nootropics and individual brain supplements but honestly I've only noticed a difference with Alpha Brain.
Also, New Mood and ShroomTech Sport seem to work. However, for New Mood replacement, just get any calming or "mood support" blend with theanine and 5-htp.
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Mood-Support-Veg-Capsules/dp/B000TD0PXU/
For ShroomTech sport, I've found a bottle of Now Foods cordyceps is much cheaper and works better.
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Cordyceps-750-Veg-Capsules/dp/B0045X9VQC/
DigesTech can be replaced with Now Foods digestive enzymes for much cheaper, as well.
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Super-Enzymes-180-Capsules/dp/B0013OXKHC/
A lot of the stuff on Onnit works, but nothing is a magic cure for anything. The most any of these will do is give you a slight edge in each area. But, I think that slight edge is worth it. However, on Onnit, it's just 3x as expensive as it needs to be. Do a bit of research and you can find a lot of the same stuff for cheaper.
Sorry to hear that. I have a good friend with serious depression, so I know how hard that can be. I *don't* have serious depression, but every once in a while I do get "down". The thing that helps me the most is lion's mane mushroom extract. Not a cure-all, but takes the edge off and makes things that would normally bother you, not bother you. Legal and reasonably cheap ($30) [on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Mushroom-Extract-Powder-Real-Mushrooms/dp/B01DKZZFCE).
The other thing that helps me is running. When The Vandy Nurse broke up with me, I started running 10 miles a day a couple days a week. It's impossible to be depressed when you're exhausted and can't move without something hurting. My body was pumping out endorphins by the gallon, and it felt rather euphoric. Do some exercise, and I don't mean "take a hike", but something that's at the physical limit of what you can do. Run 10 miles, or try a few hours of P90X or Insanity. You'll feel a ton better.
The bleeding edge of depression research is ketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and psilocybin (magic mushrooms). All three seem to have efficacy against treatment-resistant depression. Ironically, the easiest to acquire and possibly the most productive is also the most illegal. If you spend a few minutes searching on "shrooms", you'll figure out how to acquire all the things you need legally. I have zero experience taking psilocybin or any other tryptamine analogues, but I helped aforementioned friend grow some to treat their depression. When they work, they *work*. Like a total mental reset button.
https://www.popsci.com/magic-mushrooms-safe#page-5
https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-discovered-how-magic-mushrooms-alleviate-depression-antidepressants-psilocybin-amygdala
As Tennessee can't even let dying cancer patients use weed to treat their pain because "Jeebus", legal psilocybin is probably 20 years out. I've never heard of police raiding a house for growing personal-use amounts of shrooms, but you are taking some risk by doing so.
Ketamine works for some, not others. For some people it's absolutely magic. For my friend, it worked a week at a time, which was better than nothing. It can have serious side-effects with long-term use, including bladder toxicity, but if it works, it may be worth it. Scientists have already determine that it isn't ketamine itself which does it, but one of its metabolites (2R,6R)-HNK (hydroxynorketamine) which does it. The metabolite may be safer than ketamine itself, and once scientists understand its method of action, they can likely design a drug with the same effect but much safer.
TMS does work, but from what I've read takes multiple sessions, isn't cheap, and is only available at a small number of centers around the country. Vanderbilt apparently has one, which is good, but you'll likely need insurance to cover it.
Hope it helps. What you're going through sucks donkey balls, but it isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That mantra has helped me get through the past few months. Don't think, just do.
Well if people keep eating this stuff then it won't be long until it does!
skip host defense.. its from mycellium.
Get this instead: https://www.amazon.com/Mushroom-Extract-Powder-Real-Mushrooms/dp/B01DKZZFCE/ref=sr_1_9_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1524592127&sr=1-9&keywords=lions%2Bmane&th=1
Be careful taking too much in combination. I got some pretty crazy polyuria when I combined Reishi and Black Hoof for too long.
Real Mushrooms makes a blend called the 5 Defenders. It might have what you want.
Second that. Also, maybe try some fulvic/humic minerals with that. I've found to always get an energy boost with that. Would also recommend Lion's Mane mushrooms(from fruiting bodies). Lion's Mane works best with 100 mg niacin.
First, the bags.
I'm currently getting mine from http://unicornbags.com/
Lions mane LOVES wood. Wood is a must for lions mane. I use hardwood fuel pellets and sawdust from the a local mill. I supplement with 20% wheat bran (only bran I can get from local tractor supply). And gypsum of course.
You must sterilize the bags, this is were a BIG pressure cooker comes in handy.
Lions mane wants to fruit before it fully colonizes, so be sure to use a lot of spawn to the bags and shake it up.
Oh, you are going to need a fruiting chamber if you don't have one already.
PM me your address and I will send a few over to you.
For Gourmet, everything is kept on cultures. If you are going to get into this to constantly grow, certainly need a pressure cooker and use the cup of agar tek, or peti dishes with agar.
~$25 for a 5 pound bag of spawn is not unreasonable though.
The culture we have is not very "seafood" I have had them in the past when it tastes much more like crab or lobster. I find it to have a subtle taste. Goes great when you make it into something. I can't imagine just eating it like an apple.
Finally, maybe you want to try it out before you go whole hog with your new hobby:
https://www.amazon.com/Mushroom-Extract-Powder-Real-Mushrooms/dp/B01DKZZFCE/ref=pd_bxgy_121_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01DKZZFCE&pd_rd_r=56FW7RX86FANFHMP8JWM&pd_rd_w=o1I5w&pd_rd_wg=aDq4K&psc=1&refRID=56FW7RX86FANFHMP8JWM
Lion's mane mushroom extract works well for focus, anxiety, mood. It keeps you calm and lasts all day long too. Just make sure you buy from a seller that utilizes the fruiting body rather than just the mycelium.
Edit: This is a good one.
Here: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Lions-Mane-Mushroom-Capsules/dp/B07Q5DZJTK
I think they're fake reviews. Also, Amazon love to automate everything and they've now listed this as "Amazon Choice"! - probably because of over 1,000 5 star reviews. I hate this. The world we live in is surrounded by scam artists, fraud, and corruption.
Edit: Yep, fake! https://www.fakespot.com/product/organic-lions-mane-mushroom-capsules-2100-mg-highest-capsule-serving-bioperine-for-enhanced-absorption-nootropic-brain-supplement-immune-system-booster-100-pure-lions-mane-extract
I use it! I can speak to what is has really done, but my brother who also has MS takes the same sups and cooks with the actual mushrooms and says his flares are less frequent recently, so who knows. This is the one we both take:
Host Defense - Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, Natural Support for Mental Clarity, Focus, Memory, Cerebral and Nervous System Health, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 60 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WJ2ALO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_d.CrDbJGTKZPQ
Lion's Mane mushroom supplement! I have MS and deal with these things off and on but Lions Mane has helped me a ton.
​
Paul Stamet's on Joe Rogan talking about it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E0R18tRV7g&t=22s
​
One brand on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.ca/Organic-Mushroom-Capsules-Real-Mushrooms/dp/B078SZX3ML/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1538422813&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=lions+mane&psc=1
I have the same kind of meh feeling. I take Gaia’s ashwagandha root. Anybody have experience with this brand and any suggestions for any other brands?
I take 1000mg of extract (extracted with water) which contains more than 25% Beta-D-Glucans and less than 5% starch. This is the brand I take specifically
I've taken Venlafaxin (SNRI) and Lion's Mane without issue. The Lion's Mane didn't do anything at all for me though. Later I heard that the quality of the supplement is key. You need a supplement that's made from the fruiting body - not from the mycelium. I haven't tried it, but this one looks promising (and pricey).
Look into these high quality and reliable supplements:
http://www.amazon.com/Healthforce-Vitamineral-Green-Powder-500-Grams/dp/B001H0T4TA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427654718&sr=8-1&keywords=healthforce
http://www.amazon.com/The-Synergy-Company-1PSLG-Powder/dp/B000TG5LJA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427654732&sr=8-1&keywords=pure+synergy
Also look into medicinal mushrooms:
http://www.amazon.com/Fungi-Perfecti-Community-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B002WJ1BZK/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1427654753&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=hosr+defense
http://www.nammex.com/
For sleep I take this with tryptophan.
This is what I'm using. Has 6 species of mushrooms including Reishi. Only about a week in so far but I do feel more relaxed I guess.
https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Cordyceps-Veg-Capsules-90-Count-Packaging/dp/B0045X9VQC/ie=UTF8&qid=1483879595&sr=8-3&keywords=cordyceps
I spent some time looking into this awhile back.
Mycelium is part of the mushroom. You would never have fruit bodies without mycelium and fruit bodies are basically just densely layered, laminated mycelium that have started to lose vitality as they move away from active growth and into spore production.
And of course, you can read the label and see that while Host Defense widely uses mycelium, they also include fruitbodies, even in their top product:
https://www.amazon.com/Host-Defense-MyCommunity-Capsules-Mushroom/dp/B002WJ1BZK/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519140270&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Host%2Bdefense&th=1
The Amazon reviews are super positive, it seems there are huge numbers of people that love the product - whatever the debate may be about fruit body vs mycelium. And you see their product line everywhere, it seems it is very popular with health food store buyers,
A third party immunology lab also tested their stuff, and the products tested very well:
http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/Immune-Benefits-of-Mushroom-Mycelium-Cultured-Substrate-Confirmed-1002362606?op=1
Part of what this research showed is that the mycelium works.... and the rice cultured by the mycelium also works to support the immune system. Rice is often considered a healthy food on its own... and data suggests that mycelium transforms the rice into something even healthier.
This is actually a really cool gateway into understanding the complexity of mushroom organisms. Fruit bodies are great sources of nutrients and the mycelium itself contains many of the same compounds. But why would cultured rice have more immune benefit than plain rice? What is going on?
You have to think about how the organism actually works. Mushrooms are decomposers. They break down organic matter, absorb it and use that energy to grow. As mycelium grows in its environment, it is releasing digestive enzymes from the mycelium.
If you follow Stamets’ work (he creates Host Defense), he is really focused on these enzymes from the mycelium. There are a lot of new compounds found there that appear to be very powerful. His work with the Dept of Defense BioShield program focused on these types of extracts.
And, he’s on to this whole new exploration around mycelium extracts and bees. Washington State University has partnered with Stamets and his team and they are finding that mycelium extracts help reduce viruses in bees and keep them alive longer. They’re only using mycelium extracts, not fruit body!
https://youtu.be/Y_lqIUlON1s
https://news.wsu.edu/2015/02/17/video-can-mushrooms-save-the-honey-bee/
With Host Defense, you get product that is widely used and popular, tested to actually work for immune support and the people that make it have decades of experience and are pushing some really amazing research forward. If you look at the bigger picture, it’s a great choice.
Try these out they're legit Organic Lions Mane Mushroom Capsules by Real Mushrooms - 120 Capsules of Extract Powder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SZX3ML?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I haven't tried it myself, but Double Wood Supplements sells it and they're an excellent vendor. I've tried their rhodiola rosea and alpha-gpc. Both worked great and their rhodiola rosea is the second best I've ever had (first being Super Rhodiola by Ceretropic). If you get their lion's mane on Amazon, I would wait until they restock instead of buying from the available seller. I believe the regular price is $18 and has prime shipping. The available seller is selling it for $40 and offers no prime shipping.
I almost forgot to mention RealMushrooms. They also use Nammex mushrooms and they have quality products, it appears that the cordyceps mushroom in particular is good value compared to ND's product. If we are just looking at actives of course. They also have a 25% off coupon that you can use on amazon.
I found these guys: Real Mushrooms.. Been using their Lions Mane for like a month and I feel more of an improvement than some other brands I've tried (Stamets brand and another). Seems like I can think more objectively and I'm more articulate when speaking (always been a challenge for me)..
I actually know the area where they are made too. Roberts Creek in British Columbia.. Full of super hippies. If anyone is going to produce a quality product with mushrooms, it would be there. Roberts Creek also is where Holy Crap Cereal comes from :D

Are you spraying properly? Fluid shouldn't drip from your nose and you shouldn't feel/taste it in the back of your throat. Getting consistent results with the sprays is hard and requires patience to let it absorb in each nostril, spray by spray. I ended up doing 4 sprays, 2-3 times a day, lazily and having no idea how much semax I was actually getting. I've used both Semax and NA-Semax sprays.
I eventually switched to NA-Semax-A subq injections. It's not hard and semax alleviates any needle anxiety after the first time. I respond well to NA-Semax-A at 800mcg. If you have a 100mcg spray, you would need 8 sprays to hit that level (and some won't be absorbed).
45 min before I play sports in the early evening, I take 2 sprays of NA-Semax, 1ml of Lion's Mane extract, 6mg ionic boron, 300mg Optimal Choline Complex and .5ml of ceretropic's caffeine/nalt. This stack improves my speed, strength, coordination and endurance to such a degree that it feels like cheating.
It looks legit, but there’s only two reviews. I’m always a little leery of that. I found this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01BMPK5C4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_5h9TBbFQQ802K that has more reviews and a decent mix. I honestly don’t know about the other mushrooms, but it says it has 30% Lion’s Mane.
P.S. I love when I look up “Lion’s Mane” it’s a bunch of fake manes for dogs haha.
I do something similar to mushrooms. I grind it and refill capsules. Works well!
I’m sorry you are going through this and are without meds for so long. I did take lion’s mane briefly and while I felt like it didn’t do anything at the time in retrospect looking back it probably helped me with my symptoms and I think I am going to try taking it again.
I’m just now realizing my voices came back after I stopped taking lions mane. It was so gradual at the time that I did not recognize it.
Best of luck to you and I hope you can get through it until you can get an antipsychotic in January. I’d highly recommend lions mane as well.
Also they have 120 days supply of it on amazon for $19. A better deal than 180 days for $54 for the specific brand mentioned in the other post.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PM8X5CG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XxsYDb0ZAP58X
I recommend taking Amyloban 3399. It's what I take for schizophrenia. It's an extract from an edible mushroom known as Lion's Mane, that balances dopamine in the brain, promotes brain growth, and protects against grey matter loss. I would also recommend eating peanuts or some source of Vitamin E + Niacin (Vitamin B1). Both are great for healthy brain function and a lot of people are difficient in those.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fungi-Perfecti-Host-Defense-NCHE60/dp/B002WJ2ALO/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482701715&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=host+defence+lions+mane
I use this brand. The serving size is 1g (2 capsules) I use 500mg (1 capsule). Good results so far.
Get some legit encapsulated mushroom supplements and replace the contents of the bottle. Can't imagine you'll have any trouble: https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Mushroom-Capsules-Real-Mushrooms/dp/B078SZX3ML
Amazon.ca
this one rocks for cognition: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NZ7WTQ8
to help with stomach issues I have used this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B078SZX3ML
I'm doing the capsules. I chose these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045X9VQC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I'll take two in the morning with a little food.
Cool, thanks. I take Rhodiola, Ashwaghanda, Bacopa, Ginseng, and I take a blend of 6 different mushrooms. 2 of which are listed in that page you linked. I have Velvet Beans (mucuna puriens) but haven't tried those yet.
Here's the blend of mushrooms I have. I actually haven't started eating this one yet because I'm still [on my older] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073DZ1SF8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1) batch. This one was the first one I tried, by the way. They're all good.
There are many sources. I get mine here.. Lions Mane mushroom Amazon also has niacin.
I just wanted to mention cannabis oil has also been linked with nerve injury regeneration. If you're not in a legal state, I don't know how you could get some. Otherwise, a dispensary in your area could help you find some.
I use this one

I just read a review on amazon of AHCC that really helped their back acne. I don’t have any personal experience with it. I was looking at it to get rid of a plantar wart. Don’t judge. It’s a supplement made from mushrooms.
https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Kinoko-Platinum-AHCC-Supplement/dp/B00HG0YZMG
It’s kind of pricey. This bottle has 60ct. You can find a 30ct bottle from the vitamin shope. It’s half the price.
If your female (or maybe even not?) you can also try DIM. And panthotenic acid. Good luck!
I think he’s talking about this but I haven’t heard of Real Mushrooms brand before.
Hey, I am in the US and take the following product. I take 2 capsules per day (1g), so it lasts me a month and is $50 per bottle. I don’t know if 3g per day would be more effective, but I just take 1g to save money.
Premium Kinoko Gold AHCC Supplement-500mg of AHCC per Capsule-Supports Immune Health, Liver Function, Maintains Natural Killer Cell Activity & Enhances Cytokine Production-60 Veggie Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WUJ8Y2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bKwxDbKK7E9QY
Phenylpiracetam is more of a nootropic/stimulant... it sounds like you are looking more for supplements to improve your general health/mood/well-being. Phenylpiracetam is great for a one-time pick me up but tolerance to the stimulant effects builds after a couple days (quicker than even caffeine), and there is even a minor crash (nothing in the realm of amphetamines but a crash nonethelesss). I would steer clear of this -racetam for daily use.
If you want supplements to improve mood and energy levels, cordyceps is great. I take 1g a day in the mornings and I can really notice a mood boost and increased wakefulness throughout the day. It can be a little pricey, but it is one of the few supplements that has a noticeable impact on my day. And unlike with phenylpiracetam, the effects appear to get better and better the more you take it - no crash, no tolerance. Make sure you pick a good, reliable brand. Nootropicsdepot is the only place I use for mushroom extracts. They also have some of their items listed on amazon if you prefer to purchase using that route, just search 'nootropicsdepot cordyceps' in the search bar. They source from RealMushrooms, so you could also go that route if you want. You really want pure, unadulterated, tested extracts, so I would highly recommend paying the extra money to get their products.
As for D3, I usually take 5000IU a day but it is generally recommended to take 2000IU (I just personally think that is too low, especially during the winter months). Check out Examine's article on it. I take this brand from amazon. Its cheap, has around 500 doses (if you want to take 2000IU, their bottle has the dosing around half that), and has Vitamin K2 MK7, which pretty much everybody is deficient in.
I don't take ZMA, don't really think anybody needs to but if you want to take it and find that it helps you, I'm not stopping you!
As for other additional supplements you might want to take - I would look into Rhodiola Rosea (great for reducing fatigue particularly related to physical activity and stress, minor stimulant effect, reduces anxiety), and of course the good ol' fish oil. Maybe look into yohimine and ALCAR as well! Creatine is great, definitely good that you take that.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Hey there again name buddy!
I had a question about the Ashwagandha. I think this might help me the most after reading about it. Do you know if this brand is any good? There's like a million out there but this had the best reviews. I got 5-HTP coming Tuesday and I stocked up on fruits and veggies and fish. Luckily I was preparing to taper anyway even before I learned about the ban and started eating 3 meals a day again and taking multivitamins.
https://www.amazon.com/Gaia-Herbs-Ashwagandha-Liquid-Phyto-Capsules/dp/B003HD9H0G
Interesting. Do you have some reading materials for this?
edit: I assume something like this is what you'd consider to be better?
I use these Cordyceps Mushroom Extract Powder by Real Mushrooms
https://www.amazon.com/THRIVE-Powerful-Mushroom-Extract-Powder/dp/B073DZ1SF8/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1539782163&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=freshcap+thrive+6&psc=1
Yes, I've tried Lions Mane, but it makes my stomach feel sick and it's not as potent, I don't really feel it's effects. Maybe it's not fresh enough, or maybe it's because I started on Amyloban first, but you can certainly try it. It's much cheaper.
I would recommend the bulk version over the capsule version. Then add it to food, like milk or milkshake.
I found this on Amazon:

What do you have ?
From what I can tell they are 1g.
This is the one I’m taking. Ive tried all sorts of things for brain fog and fatigue and even my family says they notice me having more energy. Not sure if it’s placebo lol but even if it is, I’m okay with the results.

I have MS and I take medicinal mushrooms everyday. It’s definitely helped, and has kept me free from the shitty medicine doctors want MS patients to take.
Are you taking these individually, or in a premixed powder? I currently take a scoop of the Thrive 6 powder and two capsules of lions mane.

"'The results are very encouraging,' Smith said. 'We were able to determine that at least three months of treatment is necessary but some need to extend that to six months. Since AHCC is a nutritional supplement with no side effects and other immune modulating benefits, we will be planning on using six months of treatment in our phase II clinical study to have consistent study treatment plan. This confirms our earlier preclinical research.'
"Ten women with persistent HPV infection received a once-daily oral dose (3 g) of AHCC for up to 6 months, and half of the participants achieved a negative result for HPV infection."
​
Edit: They supplements seem expensive and also be aware that x mg of mushroom does not = x mg of AHCC. Find something that gives you the amount of mg of AHCC and not mg of mushroom.

has 750 mg of AHCC per capsule meaning you need to take 4 per day.
Yes but I'm getting 700 mg per capsule. Don't know if its available in the UK

Here are some links for Porcini Mushroom Powder, Portobello Mushroom Powder, Shiitake Mushroom Powder, Reishi Mushroom Powder, and powders consisting of mixed assorted mushrooms like this five mushroom one, this fourteen mushroom one, and my favorite of the lot: this ten mushroom blend. I utilize mushroom powders in soups, sauces, gravies and dry rubs for steaks and meats. One of my favorite ways to use porcini mushroom powder is to make homemade or frozen French fries, dribble them with truffle-infused oil, sprinkle sea salt and porcini mushroom powder and grated sharp white cheddar on top. It's my own version of poutine!
Yup, specifically this one. I usually drop a full dropper's worth into my mouth. I've read weird things like it should be sublingual, it works better when heated, etc... Just trying to find the best option, I guess.;
Thanks again!
Dude.. All I can say is go on amazon and buy 10 bottles of AHCC.. you dont have to buy them all at once.. three bottles will cost you 150$ a month on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Kinoko-Gold-AHCC-Capsules-Vegicaps/dp/B000WUJ8Y2/ref=pd_bxgy_121_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=09G3TEGXK33B0Z51P4KS). My treatment is as followed, "Because I take 3 grams a day, or (1 GRAM, before breakfast, 1 GRAM, before Lunch and take, 1 GRAM, before Dinner) or three grams per day, and I have seen what I believe to be my HPV to be going away, cannabinoids, and colloidal silver helped me as well..

These are really surprisingly strong/effective, especially with your recommended amount of vitamin D daily. They've helped me out a ton over the last few years.
Definitely pricy, though. I take them for short periods of time (how mushroom supplements are recommended to be taken anyway). Feel free to read through the reviews for better information.
(This is all in addition to the aforementioned sleep and fluids.)
When I was trying to sustain weight while working out everyday I had a good daily 3 meals that I was satisfied with and kept me energized, healthy, and and focused throughout my day:
Breakfast: Protein smoothie: whey, cow milk, hemp seeds, blueberries, banana, cherries, and shroom supplement. I work early mornings so if I'm not fasting I like to drink this throughout the morning hours as it keeps me full with the carbs, fats, and protein and focused with well sourced shroom supplement. This is the most efficient one I found and I do notice a change in focus as well as endurance if I workout in the morning (after consistent use of course)
Lunch: Yogurt, Flax seeds, Fruit. Sometimes I'll just grab a clif bar.
Dinner: Protein and veggies. Usually a fatty steak and sauteed veggies like asparagus, brussel sprouts, cauliflower. If not a fatty meat then chicken with fingerling potatoes.
> cordyceps militaris
Wow I rarely hear people talk about cordyceps. I'm so glad you stopped by this thread!
A long time ago I bought some Now Foods Cordyceps pills. Are those cordyceps the same as the cordeyceps militaris youy're talking about? I think the NOW foods I have is sineses (as opposed to militaris).
How long have you been taking it and how does it make you feel? What is the theory you have behind it's improvement of your energy level?
For me, I bought it because I heard in Chinese medicine it is often used to treat snoring and insomnia.
I went to the video and found the brand on amazon
Host Defense - Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules, Natural Support for Mental Clarity, Focus, Memory, Cerebral and Nervous System Health, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 60 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WJ2ALO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ev3KDbP3CXHAN
but there is another brand named genius that has triple the amount of positive reviews and looks like it has two extra ingredients.
Genius Mushroom - Lions Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi - Immune System Booster & Nootropic Brain Supplement - Wellness Formula for Natural Energy, Stress Relief, Memory & Liver Support, 90 Veggie Pills https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SJ9F5S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nD3KDb520NFSM
Do I stick with host defense in the vid or try this other more popular one?
Amazon! This is a good brand according to other redditors down in the comments :)
Organic Lions Mane Mushroom... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078SZX3ML?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
When and how should I take these? I just ordered Lions Mane. I have Lithium Orotate which I plan to take twice a day. Then there's the Bacopa. Should I take the Lithium, Bacopa, and Lions Mane all at the same time in the morning? I want to fit NAC in there too somehow, if it's not redundant.
And could someone clarify on Unlimitles stack? What are those, how to take them, the doses, the brands... Is that even reasonable to all mix?
lolol.

yeah they're legal in the US, amazing but very subtle and they work best after a few weeks, you take two every day.
You probably heard about them when Paul Stamets was on the show. I buy his stuff, but I get them on amazon cause they're cheaper there than on his website.
about a week or so. I just started using the ash.
This is the lion's mane product. It is actually a combination of mushrooms https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078SJ9F5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like the cordyceps because I used to use it on its own in powder form as a pre workout for training(judo) https://www.amazon.com/Cordyceps-Mushroom-Extract-Powder-Adaptogenic/dp/B06XJP1Y69/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=QH3HA7SZN0VGNBXV4KDK&th=1
Do you have thyroid gland problems? Reishi can enhance those

Wrong. Read the second image. Just have to know the right brands.

I have taken thrive for almost 2 months now. Lots of different mushrooms including all the ones stamets talks about and yes, I feel much more cognitive clarity. College just seems easier now and I’m taking my hardest classes so far this term.

Going to try some different companies over this year and find which one I like best.
>Also make sure their isn't anything that blocks AcH-e in your food or supps
Do you happen to know if any of these might be causing some bad interaction?
I've been taking Rhodiola, Panax Ginseng + Ginkgo, Reishi+Cordyceps+Lion's Mane, and a multivitamin.
I also take Magnesium Citrate and Fish Oil at night before bed.
I'm thinking of adding some curcumin too to help with inflammation.
Try some lion's mane. I experienced very similar symptoms and it was a game changer.
this is the product i used
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DKZZFCE/
I drank Four Sigmatic coffee for awhile and like it as a quick morning brew when I didn't feel like brewing with my Chemex. The coffee is zero calories if you'd like to try that.
You can always take your mushrooms in other, more calorie free forms. I've been looking to try these capsules since I could take these and still have my coffee-snob coffee.
This happens to me when I forget to take it. So maybe just ensure you take it the same times everyday. Then if you gey a headache before your second dose take it earlier until you stop having them.
Also I use a brand that uses the fruiting body as opposed to the whole thing. It also doesn't use rice unlike most other lion's mane extract. Just a thought but I know stems from weed can give you headaches so maybe there could be a similar phenomenon here. Worth trying to see if that would help anyway.

They sell lions mane in capsules for the same price now.

There's an ongoing study with some extract from mushrooms called AHCC, based in a previous finding. The pills are very expensive and the study uses a dose that I can't pay I just buyed 2 "flasks?" and honestly I don't trust those Amazon verified reviews. Right now they are doing a study on vaccination with people who already has them -it's in Paris if I'm not mistaken-it doesn't cure but for some people it has helped to avoid new ones, I'm more confident on this. In fact there's a previous one. I got vaccinated just in case it helps and I keep my fingers crossed. Always keep an eye on the Cypep-1 development, they are in Phase I expecting results for early next year.
