Synapsa Is Amazing but those GI Issues...Advice?

Original post in this thread

inmy325xi · 5 points

So I'll start off by saying Synapsa has been a great supplement for myself. I've used the Monnieri brand in the past and that came with depression and lethargy.

However, the Synapsa brand noticeable changes my mood, it makes me more calm and collected and I dosed 300mg for 2 weeks before stopping due to stomach pains. But they were horrible and out of the norm and my bowel movements were painful as well.

I stopped dosing but was wondering if there is anything I can do to offset. I know some users reported these issues but they went away but not for myself. Dosed at night, in the mornings, or even with food. Any help?

Edit: Started taking a probiotic called VSL3 and these issues are not happening anymore. Thanks everyone!!

Thank you...I'll start with this soon and begin to dose Synapsa after a few weeks. I'm surprised the Mushrooms I take didn't help with the issue (Reishi, Cordyceps, Shiitake and Turkey Tail)

How much of each mushroom are you taking? How long have you been doing it? I've gotten an upset stomach from taking too many mushroom extracts to quickly.

Their products already have been tested multiple times by a bunch of different organizations. They just leave out the brand names on the results, since he has been known to be litigious. I would be a lot more vocal about

My cordyceps congealed! Any way to rescue it? I haven’t gotten any water in it, I changed out the desiccant packets, but now it’s become a gooey lump. My Red Reishi purchased in the same order is still a powder, stored in the same conditions. What’s going on?

Holy crap! Water got in there somehow. Where was it stored?

Lion's Mane has been a godsend

Replying to saladon · It's awesome to see how much you're invested in the future of mushrooms. Are there any that you're still personally taking?

I think we are going to be doing some very cool things with mushrooms! I still use most of the mushrooms, just not every day. Cordyceps is still my favorite, but white jelly is fantastic to cycle in for skin health. Obv
