Hey everyone, I've been long waiting to post this thread on reddit, and finally months after the actual experience I've got a chance to post about it, so here we go.

Here's the first thread I posted, hoping to get some involvement from the community so I could understand the mechanism of action by which I lost most of my visual memory and ability to visualize.

Whole text from the thread in quotes/spoiler in case you don't feel like clicking.

Hey everyone, so I've been taking NAC in the past for up to a week at 600 mg doses, and one thing that I've noticed the first time I did a "cycle" was that it completely messed up my visual memory.

I used to have a very pronounced photographic like memory, but it almost completely went away within the couple of days after dosing NAC, now after discontinuing I'd say that 20% came back and has been like that since, that was more than 3 months ago.

It did help with my mental state that's for sure, and I wouldn't necessarily say that my memory as…

Lion's mane was causing slight brain fog, low libido during 2 weeks I tried (ran 2 trials with same effects) guess it just isn't for me.

I've read that NAC messes with glutamate and that glutamate levels are closely related to our ability to make mental images, if that's true would sarcosine be something worth trying also?

Sarcosine is one that you either love or hate. Many people do get good effects from it, though. However, I am not sure it would affect visual memory. We are talking higher-level processes that we have not fully elucidated yet.

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

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

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
