Lions Mane is a godsend

Original post in this thread

Hello /r/nootropics!

​

For the last couple of months, I've been trying to get back to reality and to my old self after going through psychosis. I was put on Lithium which helped tremendously, but then started to give me really strange side effects (tremors, RLS, neck twitching, migraines), so I had to stop. I recently started using Lions Mane for the first time, and it has been acting really good on me.

I feel slightly stimulated, everything has a 'flow', minimized anxiety, and what's most awesome is that I'm starting to feel like my old self, capable of reasoning about problems. It feels like it activated my problem-solving gears and I've been coding all day, loving it. It's however concerning that I'm not able to access/not as sharp as I was before. I guess this takes time. I'm trying to battle 'should-this-take-time' vs 'should-i-get-a-supplement-that-boosts-this-progress'.

​

Lithium and Lion's mane both induce NGF, and I'm thinking about getting back on it. Unfortunately Lithium blocks me being able to microdose, something I might have to live with and give up for a good amount of time. Maybe good reason to not do any drugs whatsoever, since it does not play…

Paging u/misteryouaresodumb!

Where would you order from? ;)

Where would I order wild Coryceps sinensis? I wouldn't. The cost is not worth it, and cultivated Corcyceps militaris has just as much, if not more, cordycepin.

So we had to deal with some pretty big lawsuits last year. I wish I could say that is new, but I deal with half a dozen lawsuits every year. I just settled one two days ago, in fact. I have two more I am dealing with rig

This is part of the wholesale price list for "Nammex", the supplier of mushroom powders that many companies repackage/encapsulate and sell for a huge profit margin

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

Is ND done launching new products?

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

new research on the lion's mane

Replying to GeauxTiger · Maybe Im missing a step here, so this is specifically about hericene A, a compound in lions mane. But how much? How much hericene is there, they tested at 250mg, if Im taking 2gm o…

It's talking about N-de phenylethyl isohericerin (NDPIH) and hericene A. You are not getting much of either in most lion's mane products. You have to grow specific strains in a specific way to get high levels of these ac
