(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best mushrooms herbal supplements

they look pretty good. looks like they're materials are from China which is good.

If you have their product, run a starch test on it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DT9BDP4/) with iodine. Super easy. That will show the presence of any carrier material. It's quite common for products out of China to use carriers like dextrose and maltodextrin as fillers.

It's also not organic so there's potential for pesticide residues.

When everything is 10:1 extracts, I take a bit of concern there as mushrooms are generally 90% water so fresh to dried is 10:1. I've seen it used as clever marketing where they are saying 10:1 (10kg fresh to 1kg powder) when it's really just 1:1 (1kg dried to 1kg powder). Also with regards to extract ratios, if you don't have active compound measurements to go along with it, they are pretty much meaningless.

Its this thing: I won't like i feel I've been scammed :P

I don't know if I'm crazy but I took this entire bottle and it felt great.

Currently living a pretty horrible phase of my life and since starting shroom, its like I'm accepting my life, like its ok. Could very well be that I'm just naturally at this point. But I can't risk it! Ordered some other shroom and took NeuroShrooom because it had cordycepts which some people here say its great for depression.

Ah goody goody gumdrops. I love being of help lol. But seriously I got this book for fiance about a year ago and he takes it with him EVERYWHERE. He has his nose in that book constantly. And Ive gotten him quite the collection of mushroom/mycology books over the past year... this one has definitley been the most beneficial as far as growing goes.

I get them at a niche store in Toronto, but I just found out that they're cheaper on Amazon (they're $40 for 60 capsules there). Whether Canadian or American, the price on Amazon is pretty good. Link Also, I am okay with downvotes, it was how I felt like expressing myself regarding the lessening of negative aspects of my autism experience, not to say there are no positives.

Dude.... ever heard of the shrooms shiitake, maitake, cordyceps, reishi etc etc.. etc etc? Get yourself a blend mix of these powerful immune shrooms, see this https://www.amazon.com/Host-Defense-MyCommunity-Capsules-Comprehensive/dp/B00WGRNWKA this particular product will fix your problem, I am quite positive about this. My mother used to have around 1-2 colds per month, it was getting ridiculous. Really, all she was doing was trying to fix the flu but never bothered to fix the cause, the weak immune system, until I gave her these and she never got sick again, and it's been over a year now. Take what I recommended and you will be like a Windows Firewall! Yes I know that product may not be that cheap, but shit son, you want something done right, you gotta do it with the best.

Sounds like our cat. So, short answer to your question: No, the CBD didn't work, unfortunately.

Long answer: I've found through extensive research that - from what I gather - CBD works best in tandem with THC for illnesses (like cancer, MS, back pain, etc).

But my cat didn't see any benefits, (nor did my brother, or mother who took separate brands for neck and back pain).

Now... loads of people HAVE had success with just CBD, like w/ this product:

https://www.innovetpet.com/products/purcbd

Why not give it a try? Your cat might respond better than mine did, and the virus is probably different.

However, if it doesn't work, I have read about two other options that I haven't tried yet:

1. This Mushroom extract is supposed to be effective for cat viruses:
   https://www.amazon.com/Host-Defense-MyCommunity-Comprehensive-Resilient/dp/B004C1RSLW/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1
   
   
2. Finally, many people claim to rid their cat of viruses with Purina Probiotics:

   Good luck.

Thanks! Since I already have Neuro Ignite & Phenylpiracetam I am going to use them occasionally. Mostly on weekends. I am planning to phase them out if they don't work. I am more inclined on the natural ones.

For memory I might go in for Synapsa Bacopa Monnieri Capsules since this is plant based. I will use this as alternative to Neuro Ignite & Phenylpiracetam. And mostly on weekends.

For mushroom extract: Lion's mane seems to be one that is recommended. Any brand recommendations?

• Nootropics Depot capsules.
  
  
• ELECTRIC - Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Powder : I am interested in this one.
  
  Dumb question: I already mix L-Theanine Powder in my coffee. No sugar. Can i safely add: Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Powder too? Or will that cause any complications?
  
  As of 5 Defenders Organic Mushroom Extract I will take capsule at night with my other tablets.
  
  Let me know in case you have more suggestions/advice.

These are the ones I take

Host Defense - Reishi Mushroom Capsules, Naturally Supports a Healthy Heart and Cardiovascular System, Energy, Stamina, and Stress Response, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 30 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGDT7ES

Host Defense - MycoBotanicals Brain Mushrooms and Herb Capsules, Helps Clarity, Concentration, Memory, and Adrenal Health with Lion's Mane, Ginkgo, and Bacopa, Non-GMO, Vegan, Organic, 60 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WFH3A7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_U53zCbZCNZ5FM

This stuff helps at least a little bit for me. My memory has gotten better after taking these pills.

I bought it from amazon and I didn’t get the best one but I noticed improvements right away. It helped my voices and decreased anxiety right away. You really can’t go wrong for $19

I bought this one:


https://www.amazon.com/Lions-Mushroom-Capsules-Month-Supply/dp/B07PM8X5CG/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=lion’s+mane&qid=1573746044&sr=8-5


But apparently this is the best supplement. It contains only the active ingredient from the mushroom.


https://www.amazon.com/Amyloban-3399-180-Veg-Tabs/dp/B006094GI2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=amyloban+3399&qid=1573746101&sprefix=amyloban&sr=8-3

Here are some links for Porcini Mushroom Powder, Portobello Mushroom Powder, Shiitake Mushroom Powder, Reishi Mushroom Powder, and powders consisting of mixed assorted mushrooms like this five mushroom one, this fourteen mushroom one, and my favorite of the lot: this ten mushroom blend. I utilize mushroom powders in soups, sauces, gravies and dry rubs for steaks and meats. One of my favorite ways to use porcini mushroom powder is to make homemade or frozen French fries, dribble them with truffle-infused oil, sprinkle sea salt and porcini mushroom powder and grated sharp white cheddar on top. It's my own version of poutine!

Thanks for taking the time to write this detailed, clear and useful answer!

So I could mix reishi and cordyceps and have them working in synergy, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe they should balance well since they have different mechanisms of act and aims.

For Reishi I had brought this brand, since I had good experiences with their herbs: https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Capsules-100-Count-Packaging/dp/B00024D290/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Should I ditch this, since it is not an hot water extract, or you think I can use the capsules this time?

Thanks again!

Bleh, too many. Besides prescriptions for hormones, supplements are:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073WKNLFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_X-4XCbZJ58Y1N

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OSJB4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_0-4XCb4QRT66Z

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00014I5FC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_4-4XCbSWTJPX2

Serrapeptase as well while fasting.

Those are all for making sure my brain works the way I need it to and to manage anxiety that comes with autism.

Obligatory: I'm not affiliated with any of those companies, just use their products and am happy for my purposes!

Brands can make claims but unless those claims are backed up with actual test certificates I'd take it with a grain of salt. 1% adenosine is a high level, I wouldn't just take their word for it but ask for proof for sure.

I checked the Solaray one but I don't see 1% cordycepin mentioned anywhere. The Amazon listing has no specs at all, only 'biomass' (meaning 60-70% starch).

Looked that one up in particular because like you say C. sinensis hardly contains cordycepin/nucleosides, and biomass most likely won't contain anything that can be detected.

Why well because it is diluted by the starch and it is not extracted either, so whatever is there has bioavailability issues.

BTW, are you mixing up 'Solaray' with 'Solgar' maybe ? Solgar is a decent supplement brand, Solaray is only selling run-of-the-mill cheap stuff I think ?

Yes, I've tried Lions Mane, but it makes my stomach feel sick and it's not as potent, I don't really feel it's effects. Maybe it's not fresh enough, or maybe it's because I started on Amyloban first, but you can certainly try it. It's much cheaper.
I would recommend the bulk version over the capsule version. Then add it to food, like milk or milkshake.

I've been using this product for a little bit now. Should I consider switching to those recommended in your thread? Also, does it matter between capsules versus powder extract?

Thanks!
