I have heard of taking mushrooms for various things. I'm into some supplements but not like, bio hacker level or anything. I heard you gotta watch out for toxicity in those mushroom capsules / powders and they can fuck with your brain in some people? I don't know a ton about it so do your own research but it was enough info for me to never add them to my "stack".
I did quite a bit of research before going with a capsule from a trusted source. The capsules have the same effect as consuming raw lion's mane, just amplified, which is why I've gone to once a week. It is quite effective at combating the brain fog, but the intense dreams last for 2 days or so after taking one. This is definitely something I would encourage you to research on your own, do the due diligence before taking something like this, as it's definitely mind-altering. In my particular case, for the good, but YMMV.
Thanks for the info! Because of you I looked into it again. Added it to my list and started it tonight.
I'm starting low and slow. Took 500mg tonight. I might change it up to mornings, we'll see. I have noticed things like omega 3 are better for me personally at night. It makes me feel refreshed and clear the next morning. If I take it during the day I feel groggy until I take it.
