Yes, if you have overactive thyroid function, ashwagandha might elevate you even more. [Changes in Thyroid Hormone Concentrations after Administration of Ashwagandha Root Extract to Adult Male Mice](https://mega.nz/#!B

http://www.asiaandro.com/archive/1008-682X/4/295.htm That was a single rat study, and they used a methanol extract of ashwagandha roots. Both Sensoril and KSM-66 are water extracts. Also, they used 3,000mg/kg dosing in

Yeah, it's crazy how fast people decide to either try/drop something, simply based on an anecdote. One side effect I do get with KSM-66 is GI upset. That's pretty consistent for me. It's great for stress, though.

Yeah, it's only after a few days of regular use, and only usually if I mix it with food, or if I take a bunch of mushroom extracts with it. Lower dosages do not cause it. It's mostly higher ones. I get worse stomach pain

Well there are compound in ashwagandha that increase immune function. This is most likely part of what is leading to the GI upset. It's increasing an immune response in the GI tract, which is causing upset. That's differ

No doubt. Listen to your body. If you do not react to adaptogens, then avoid them. You might be sensitive to thyroid changes, which makes side effects more likely. I just want people to know that side effects like that a

No worries. It's understandable. It's frustrating when you have something that works well for you, but the side effects are too much. I love the effects of vinpocetine. However, every time I take it I start getting sick

I don't really monitor super closely, but not long. Perhaps a day or two.

I have not personally tried the CS-4 yet. It's just a cultured mycelium product of Cordyceps sinensis. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but our Cordyceps extract is pretty damn effective, and hard to beat. I can cer

That's too hard of a question to really give a sufficient answer. There are so many variables, and I use different things for different situations. It would probably have to be between the cordyceps 1:1 and panax ginseng

He's using a lot of hyperbole, but his premise has merit. Google has already banned both our companies from Adwords. I have a feeling it's due to insider business shadiness, though; not government interference. However,

Everything is about money. Even when people think things are not about money, money comes into play in some way. It's just the way of things. I think the FDA's intentions are multi-fold. I think some of them actually thi

Yeah, it seems water extracts of Lion's Mane can be a bit dysphoric for some. I have been reading up on it. We have a dual water/ethanol extract of Lion's Mane about to go up. We'll have to see if that extract lowers/eli

That's good to know! Is she using 1 gram dosages?

Comment · Mon, December 5, 2016 · 1 pts

I am not surprised that cordyceps made her immune system flair up the most. I too had some issues with that in the beginning. I had to lower my dose, then my body got used to it. Now I don't have those issues anymore. It

That's good when you can both get something out of it!

There is good info peppered in with a bunch of unproven stuff. I like to stick to the fundamental parts, and ignore the huge leaps that Lynch and Yasko sometimes take. Things like VDR, COMT, and MTHFR mutations making it
