Which mushroom extract would you recommend for general fitness/focus?

Original post in this thread

I was reading this article from ND's website.
https://nootropicsdepot.com/articles/ultimate-guide-to-nootropics-part-3-getting-to-know-popular-mushroom-extracts/

I was aware of some of these and unaware of others. I'm looking for something that could either help overall focus, help overall fitness performance, or some combination of the two.

If any of this info helps the suggestions, here ya go. I'm a healthy individual, active in gym four days a week, eat pescatarian, decent nootropics experience, most stimulating noots don't generally work on me. I already take NMN, Shilajit, Grape Seed Extract, and Vitamin D daily in general.

Just looking for one more supplement to add that wasn't too expensive.

Thanks all.

More on the topic of just regular morning/daily use, rather than just exercise, but would you say black hoof provides an energy affect without increasing the odds of becoming overstimulated (compared to cordyceps) if combining with other adaptogens/stimulants?

I’ve never tried black hoof but it’s always sounded interesting.

Yeah, I would say black hoof is smoother than cordyceps. If I was combining with other stims, and I didn't want the possibility of over-stimulation, I would choose black hoof over cordyceps.

Any other new mushroom extracts coming?

Yes, we have a lot in the works. This includes improved/different versions of the mushrooms we already carry, like cordyceps, and some new species of mushrooms that nobody is really talking about. 2023 will be a very goo

Study: 10 Grams of Lion's Mane Useless

LOL, they fucking baked the lion's mane into muffins... I assume that was at like 350 degrees for 30-60min? They did no testing of the finished muffins to see if they degraded the actives? We've been doing a lot of scien

Cordyceps 10:1 vs 1:1

Replying to Chaloobies · u/MisterYouAreSoDumb u/Pretty-Chill u/NootropicsDepotGuru

1:1 is a whole cordyceps fruiting body powder that has been put through a hot water "extraction" to break down the chitin, but not lose any mushroom material. The 10:1 is a traditional solvent extraction, where 10 grams

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?
