Erinamax libido anecdote
Original post in this thread

I feel silly making a post about this but I'm one of the people who's libido is completely obliterated by the LM extract, as well as most curcumin extracts I've tried. Despite this I bought a bottle of Erinamax and have been taking between 1 and 2 tablets for about 2 weeks now and while I can't say if the extract is having any profound cognitive benefits yet that aren't placebo, I'm experiencing no reduction in libido, in fact it's been a bit higher than normal the past few days.
Just wanted to throw my experience in, in case anyone out there is avoiding Erinamax because of that common lion's mane side effect. 29 yo Male.

Any idea why? It's on the list of Novel foods compiled by the EU, but not listed in the Belgian 'staatsblad' (official journal?) regarding the import of (dangerous) plants and mushrooms. Tongkat isn't either so I'm a bit confused why both would be allowed in the the whole of EU, but not in Belgium.
Fyi other stuff like cordyceps militaris, kava kava and tiger milk mushroom ARE listed in this Belgian 'staatsblad' document as inedible or not fit for human consumption and therefor illegal to import to Belgium specifically...

I am a bit confused as well, but the Belgian authorities requested we restrict those two items, so we agreed to comply. I am not going to get into a fight with the Belgian authorities over their interpretation of the law.
