Nootropics Depot: Mushroom Extracts!

Original post in this thread

How is there not more discussion on these?

So I've been experimenting with nootropics for 3 years or so at least. Racetams, noopept, modafinil, Prl-8-53, rhodiola, ashwaghanda, etc. I realize that these may not all necessarily be nootropic - but for the sake of cognitive enhancement and personal evolution.

So far, I've gotten one 30g container of Red Reishi and Cordyceps. I'll give my description of each.

First, I tried Cordyceps as I had a good feeling about them. One 00 sized capsule full and 4,000UI of vitamin D3 started my day.

Wow! There is an absolutely notable not placebo boost in energy. Almost a high. Lasts maybe 4-6 hours. I start the day off at 7:30 or so with it and get off work around 3. Occasionally I'll redose at that point or once I get home if I feel like being more active.

Red Reishi, now this one, I thought, was less potent. The tangible effect upon my subjective conscious experience is less prominent. Rather than a bit of a rush of Cordyceps (rush really isn't the right word, but it's close), Reishi feels more airy.

I started off with a full cap, but last time I tried half a 00 with the other half as inositol. Great success! The effects were around…

I actually received their new Lion's Mane extract yesterday, and I've been taking 1g a day. So far, no noticeable effects, but it's an adaptogen so I'll take it daily for a couple months to truly test it out. Thinking of doubling the dose soon to see if I get any reaction.

Lion's Mane in one that needs to build up effects over time. Most studies measure improvements at 8-16 weeks. The neurogenetive properties take time to affect cognition. It's supposed to be a supplement taken regularly, which improves cognition gradually.

Replying to eclecticlove1 · So where do you get the powder for the 8:1 dual phase extract?

We have our own suppliers, just like we do for all our ND branded products. They make it to our specifications. Then we test them in our lab for ID, content, beta-glucans, heavy metals, and now residual solvent residues.

Why the lion's mane you're buying is probably bunk.

First off, our Lion's Mane is not a traditional water extract. The water is used to break down the chitin in the cell walls, but the entire mushroom material is kept in. So you don't lose anything that you would with a f
