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.

I'm actually in correspondence with someone from Belgian customs right now. They told me it's regarded as a novel food because it's dehydrated. I replied to them the novel food label should only be applicable to the dehydrated MYCELIUM, not the fruiting body extract. I'm curious how they will respond...
I actually already suggested this to u/pretty-chill, but you guys should look into Mondial Relay as a shipping option. They clear their packages in the Netherlands, which would be huge for Belgian customers specifically. Would make Cordyceps militaris, tiger milk mushroom, horny goat weed, etc accessible again. But I understand that would be kinda sketchy and probably a huge hassle...

LOL, WTF?!? Taking the water out of something makes it novel? What if you leave the fresh lion's mane out in the sun for a bit? That's not allowed? You can't let your lion's mane dry out in Belgium too long, lest the Gestapo come and put you in jail!
