Lions Mane as a Nootropic

[rowz4broz]

After watching a podcast with Joe Rogan and Paul Stamets (GREAT WATCH) about Medicinal Shrooms I have become very interested with Lions Mane as a Nootropic. I have already sourced a legitimate brand and am interested in hearing your feedback if you have experimented with Lions Mane.

 

[ELROCK]

It has to be used daily but in the first few weeks I started noticing better memory. Deeper sleep seems noticeable too.

No mood, focus, alertness, verbal fluency changes noted.

I use 1-1.5 grams in the morning and another 1-1.5 grams in the evening. I use Nootropics Depot’s Lion mane powder.

Im a huge Joe Rogan disciple and that interview was one of his best! I want to trip on shrooms so bad haha. Iv done lions mane and love it....you have to do it everyday aa stated above.

 

[AdelV]

Is it worth the coin? I mean it's around $35aud for 200g of organic lion's mane

Especially when you have products like Clear Edge around etc

Your source of lions mane is what would worry me.

According to my studies maybe sources of lions mane are simply rice.

Psycolibin + lions mane (as described in the podcast) would be amazing

Works diffferently then clear edge

Depends. I really can’t answer if it’s worth the cost for you. How is your memory? I won’t ask about your finances.

Why would Nootropics Depot concern you?

I am wondering about this myself.

Its well documented that lions mane increases neuro-genesis...aka birth of new brain cell. We all can use those in a society of inactivity, chemicals, and bad diet.

Side note....its easy to grow your own!

...seld-educate...

Lion's Mane Elixir from Four Sigmatic. More expensive than most but it's quality.
They have Lion's Mane coffee too but that is dosed a lot lower.

edit: the elixir tastes good

 

[rowz4broz]

Why would Nootropics Depot concern you?

I’ve read from a board dedicated to mycology (similar to AM and supplementation) that sourcing quality lions mane requires looking into where/how it was grown.

I’ve read how they are grown can make or break on potency

 

[PowerHouse555]

As with any mushroom or plants for that matter it depends on the media or whats in the spawn bags...aka food. And when you are harvesting them.

Yes, that is exactly what Nootropics Depot does! They do not use lions mane that is grown on grain or rice. They use the good stuff

I would look into their quality if I were you. You can email them and they wil answer any concern you may have (with internal QA testing) as they do with all of their products.

Ah! See this I did not know about noot depot. I should have looked into them prior to me making conclusions

Psilocybin has worked well for me mood wise lately. I haven't noticed anything in regards to memory, though.

microdosing?

Yessir.

Microdosing is great for depression or even just improving mood.

 

[The Express 42]

Yes if it was grown on rice it’s crap. So avoid the junk like host defense real mushrooms is great

 

[ELROCK]

Anyone in here try Nootropics Depot 8:1 extract of lions mane? I have been using their regular 1:1 version.

Interesting, I just listened to Paul Stamets and Joe Rogan and he seemed very smart, but I thought Host Defense was his company?

What are you gonna do with it?

 

[ELROCK]

What are you gonna do with it?

Eat it! Lol

The plan is to grind it down in a coffee grinder to a powder. But I just peeled off a piece and ate it and tastes pretty good. That brick of lions mane only cost $2.50

I also picked up some more in powder form.

How much does it weigh? Is it dried?

 

[ELROCK]

How much does it weigh? Is it dried?

The brick weighs 17 grams.

I got 60 grams of the powder 1:1 (I will compare it to Nootropics Depot’s lions mane.

I got this stuff from a doctor that sells herbs, vitamins, CBD, adaptogens and even kratom. He sells kratom trees too (6 inch ones and 6 foot ones). He is extremely knowledgeable and a great source to have.

That’s a solid price. Cool source.

Interesting. Very few doctors know or even will try and learn about natural
Remedies.

More fresh lion’s mane...

 

[ELROCK]

She is a pretty one

 

[KingErgogenic]

Just a heads up... Lion's Mane can seriously fu** up your libido if you are sensitive to DHT blockers.... :banghead:

Thankfully, lion’s mane doesn’t mess with my libido in any way. Reishi on the other hand has a negative impact on my libido and it comes on quick too.

Yeah, I haven’t noticed any backsliding in my libido at all.

Been using this (1tsp)

daily. If anything I feel it’s slightly increased.

Me neither... Been dosing 1 tsp/day for about a month now.

I have a supplier I get my 10:1 Cordyceps Militaris extract from. He also has a 10:1 Organic Lions Maine(Contains a minimum 30% mushroom polysaccharides, 15% Beta Glucans)grown on wild hardwood substrate . Been thinking of picking some up.

The Militaris is def high quality and all the mushrooms are heavy metal tested and have COAs.

This might be something interesting.

Does he ship internationally?

 

[mbonheur]

I am still happy with my EU grown mushrooms, German seller.

 

[Ape McGrapes]

Just bought a 100g of extract.

How is this going for everyone?

Looking forward to adding this to my morning combo of Focus-XT Cordyceps and Rhodiola.

Found him via Reddit and he has an Ebay account. Look up Mushroom Shen. I trust his quality.

I’m waiting for my Focus xt to come in and I’ll be adding my blend to it as well. Bump this when/if you notice a difference after you add your extract.

Curious how you like it with Focus XT (independent of the dopamine boosters/stims in Focus XT).

I feel it could be overkill, but who knows

I think I may order this, how does it taste?

 

[tyga tyga]

I mix it in my morning coffee (4-6oz) and barely taste it, it’s a very mild flavor and I think it complements the coffee well.

I will probably do the same. Do you take 1tsp all at once or split twice a day? Also, any acute effects from it that you notice? I went ahead and just ordered it, I've never tried any of those mushrooms before, I am pretty intrigued to see how they work.
