Cordyceps Cs-4 vs Cordyceps militaris, which is better?

Original post in this thread

tronatula · 11 points

Hi, I would like to try Cordyceps, but the price makes me have to think carefully.

/u/realmushrooms, Cordyceps Cs-4 has more research on it and is way cheaper, so what are the reasons to buy Cordyceps militaris, which is better for motivation? Does Cordyceps have cholinergic properties (aCHe inhibitor,....)? Cause I react badly to cholinergic stuff.

/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb, your CORDYCEPS 10:1 is more expensive yet why it has lower Beta-Glucan (β-Glucan) content (20% vs 30%)? Also, same question as above, does Cordyceps have cholinergic properties (aCHe inhibitor,....)?

Because my before and after taking these substances (nicotine, dmae, fish oil, cdp choline, deer velvet..) my digit span scores was always lower. I also felt uncomfortable when on them.

I had taken 250mg cdp choline everyday with piracetam for a while, and at 1 point I felt slightly depressed. Then I threw away the choline, only took piracetam and have been fine since.

Yeah, depression on stronger choline sources (CDP, GPC, etc) is very common. It's why I always suggest people only add in a choline source if they are getting headaches with racetams. I am the same way. I get depressed on choline, which lasts a few days. I am prone to depression, though.

For people with high Acetylcholine level, is it ok to take Bupropion (Wellbutrin) and Trimethylglycine (TMG/Betaine HCL) with Piracetam?

Replying to bitieubom · I react badly to Nicotine, which is a nicotinic agonist. Besides nicotine, I also react badly to cdp choline, fish oil, DMAE, coconut oil. All are cholinergic stuff. But all in al

Well Bupropion is a nicotinic antagonist. So it probably interacts poorly with the cholinergics you were taking. Regarding the combination of Bupropion, TMG, and Piracetam, there are no big interactions that I can see.

Reishi cramps/diarrhea, any Reishi gurus here?

Replying to Debonaire_Death · I was taking 1g TID, while also taking 1g BID of Black Hoof and 1g piracetam TID. Have you tried any racetams with reishi? It's good stuff, if a bit diuretic : ) Also, on the note

Yeah, Resihi mixed with phenylpiracetam and oxiracetam is a good one. Also, the cordyceps is super potent. The other Paul at our office rarely takes anything we sell, but liked the cordyceps so much that he started takin

Can anyone share experiences from taking memantine ALONE?

Replying to Pharnaces_II · > I double and triple check numbers. And this is why I only buy things from you anymore. I purchased some piracetam once from another vendor and it came with a couple very moist,

Honestly, I am not sure. I would assume only a few weeks. However, it could be longer. I am going to go off nicotine for two weeks, then give memantine a go. It might not be long enough, but it will be a good test.

Depressive effects from phenylpiracetam

Replying to pohatu · It just started taking. Day 2. I'm angry as fuck about everything. Like throwing a tantrum smashing the hell out of stuff stomping and kicking over typical shit that I can usually

Not crazy. Many people get those thoughts. However, you should always be able to prevent yourself from acting on them.

What is the role of pyroglutamic acid in the alcohol defense formula?

Replying to Bierak · after quitting memantine this weekend I felt a blackout less pronounced this time. I only took NAC, 1000 mg Piracetam and 20 mg 1% Huperzine before going out. Wonder this time if

Dopamine synthesis without using a dopamine releasing agent?

Replying to sirsadalot · One final last tiny tiny little question, if I may For dopamine synthesis I have CoQ12, Pterostilbene, Multivitamin, NAD+ nasal spray, and soon bromantane. Maybe caffeine as well,

For up-regulation of dopamine, you are know the common ones. Uridine, Inositol, ALCAR, Sulbutiamine, and Forskolin are the main ones. Cordyceps up-regulates D2 receptors, too. Not sure I have any better alternatives. Exe
