Hello, I'm doing the Paul Stament stack, I have to take many supplements in the morning and I don't know how to do it, for Oriveda's lion's mane it is 3 and 2 separate pills, then I have 1g of Mexican truffle (psilocybin) and niacin . How should I do it? Especially the 5 oriveda pills since they recommended taking niacin 15 minutes after all the other supplements

Over the years I tested a few mushrooms supplement and it seems most of them give me sleep issues.
This fall I tried Turkey tail, which gave me good energy, but after 2 days, I started waking up way too early. Even though I was sleeping like a log, the lack of sleep made me stop. This week I tried Reishi (8:1), for which I had high hopes, but after 2 days, same thing, though this time my sleep was also fragmented and full of dreams. Too bad cause I liked the calming effects... Other sleep effect is I get physically tired and heavy but I have a harder time drifting into sleep and if I keep taking the mushroom, I end up with insomnia. Cordyceps is a bit different, but also gives me insomnia. The only Mushy that I am ok with seems to be Tremella (White Jelly). All my mushrooms experiments were conducted with 0.5gr of RealMushroom brand in my morning coffee. I kind of give up now but I am curious to know what is going on. Any ideas?

Dosage help

Hey everyone

Long story long, ima 31F SAH mom of 3 and recently I discovered that some of my "personality traits" are actually called symptoms 😅

I have not been diagnosed with anything but it's clear as a day that it's ADD/ADHD so that let me down a rabbit hole that ended up with me ordering all of the above.

So basically, I had my third one 8 months ago and I partially understand that having 3 under 6 is a handful including household chores, but my mental health is just awful. I'm really lethargic. To others may seem like lazy but I'm just so low on energy and my brain is more than foggy. I struggle to do the bare minimum and I'm running every 40min-hr to have a break (smoking a cigarette), but it's not that I need a cigg as much as I need that mental break.

I've avoided accepting any form of disorder since "I can fight it" but it KO'd me.

I just want to be more present, less stressed and boy do I need an energy boost. I stopped drinking coffee since it started bothering me.

Anyways, can someone please help me with explaining the cycles and dosage and combo of the listed supplements. Tips and tricks on how to use it, when to stop etc.

Thank you loads❤️

I just ordered Oriveda REISHI PRIMO & Lion's Mane L+ combi package.

Upgrading from using the 5 defenders from Real Mushrooms.

From everything I read on here Oriveda is the real deal. I normally take the 5 defenders on an empty stomach. Should I continue to do the same with Lion’s Mane from Oriveda when it comes in? Also has planning to take Reshi an hour before bed time.

Taking these and the 17 other vitamins/supplements just for better health.

Thanks.

I heard that Oriveda is the best but the price is a bit too high for my budget. From what I have gathered, Antioxi is the next best option and they have 3rd party test results available.

I just want to make sure that I am on the same page as everyone else before I buy anything.

I have PCOS and am interested in treating it with mushrooms supplements. I have chronic fatigue, cystic acne, panic attacks, bipolar and many more. Any recommendations? I am not familiar with this industry

I just started taking medicinal mushrooms to help with my chronic fatigue. I literally am tired all day everyday, I can sleep at any point even after a nap. I started with chaga chunks and brewed a giant pot for about 12 hours in the slow cooker. I just received cordyceps and lions mane as well from realmushrooms and add between 1/2-1 tsp of each to my chaga tea. The first time I made the tea I brewed it with just hot water from the keurig and let sit about 15min and I felt a bit of an energy burst but now with the brew I made (which is solid black) I don’t notice much besides it helps me go to the bathroom.

Any suggestions on other kinds, did I brew it wrong, do I have to wait and take it daily before getting benefits? Any help would be appreciated.

Ps I also take many supplements including ones to boost my testosterone and for libido purposes but used for energy (steel libido) TIA

I’ve battled with PTSD and burnout for many years and have tried a lot of medicines during these years. I got a allergic reaction from Lamictal about 10 years ago. After that I become allergic to pollen in the blooming period of early summer.

I recently started Reishi extract and it seem to be tolerated, shortly after I added Cordyceps extract and It’s long time I felt that good, energy, calm and not much brain fog. Later that evening I could feel dryness and redness on my nuckles, and little coldness to my hands, but nothing to much.

The next day I took the extracts again and it was a good day again. Later that evening I felt more coldness in hands and feet, and more dry/red on nuckles and also little soft rash on side of belly with tight dry skin. Next day it was gone. Is this something that’s normal in the beginning, could it be dangerous to continue?

I would much prefer to continue if it’s possible since I finally found something to help me brain and stress response.

I like the community here, people seem to take what they put in their body pretty seriously. But is there any subs like this but for medicinal herbs? Blue Lily/Blue Lotus for example?

Just trying to be smart about it.

Can anyone help me out in finding a company that can test my mushroom tinctures for heavy metals and polysaccharide/ beta glucan content?

Thanks.

There are obviously beta glucans, but those come up in a bunch of other mushrooms. I recall reading in the oriveda lab report that there also is some adenosine, think its from the sinensins variant, but that was in the range of maybe 5mg per capsule and that seemed waay to low for any meaningfull effect. Also, anyone have any experience with taking this sublingually? I saw a few threads about this, but all of the responses there jsut dismissed it as pointless because betaglucans are too large. but like its not the only thing that there is in the extract right? like cordyceptin should be small enoguh to be be absorbed sublingually i think (not an expert)? anyone have any interesting studies/experiences on the tested/perceived bioavialability?

I've read the sticky post in here and it is helpful but the more I learn, the more I feel I don't know.

Between reishi, chaga, turkey tail, cordyceps, lions mane, maitake, shiitake, enoki, agarikon, blends, mycelium, fruiting body, etc etc, I have no idea what I should be taking. Their benefits seem to overlap a lot. I don't have a guide of which beta glucans are in what mushroom, and I don't know what each one does or how they interact. Blends aparently dilute each mushroom too much. I heard there's a target of 8mg beta glucan /kg body weight.... if I go over that will it be wasted? If I double my dose of a blend will I just make expensive poop? Should I be limiting it to 1 or 2 mushrooms? How do I choose?

Is it ok to combine different mushrooms for gut health and acid reflux

I’m just getting into all this mushroom stuff and I’m just trying to sift through it all. I read the faq here and it only really made it more confusing to be honest.

Fruiting bodies are good. But sometimes mycelium is ok too.

The coffees don’t show amounts so they must be crap. But I feel better on them. I assume that just means I could feel even better if I took some real supplements. But it’s all just very confusing.

Is there a book I can read. lol. I hate learning curves. Especially when they cost me money from buying bad products.

I check out real mushrooms and Oriveda. And my question is how can O justify those prices. Is there stuff really twice as good as RM?

Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have any experience in minimizing or reducing stomach discomfort from Turkey Tail? Like Paul Stamets, my mother has stage 4 cancer. She is unable to swallow pills normally due to a hole in her throat from surgery and has to get all her nutrition and medication through a tube that goes straight to her small intestine. I am not naive, I understand Turkey Tail isn't a cure-all, but we are at the point where we will try anything with science-backed evidence. The problem is the turkey tail causes her immense pain. I also get stomach pain when I take it by mouth, but not as severe as it seems to impact her. So I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on minimizing the pain outside of painkillers, antacids, and ginger (she currently is already on all of those). Thank you in advance for all your help. I truly appreciate it.

Hello guys, I'm slowly building a mushroom sups brand here in spain ( yes yet another one), I'm focused on quality and potency. So I'm wanting to do counter analysis aside from the ones provided by the supplier? What should focus one asides from, heavy metals and contaminats. What claims should I be wary of?

Edit: forgot to thank you in advance.

I ordered 1lb of air dried chaga mushrooms for first time as a friend told me it really helps him with energy. I suffer from extreme exhaustion all the time. For energy how much fresh dried chaga do you normally take? I’m sensitive to any kind of stimulant so wouldn’t want to overdue it as I’ve heard it can really keep you awake and cause jitters if you take too much.

I know the stickied post said blends aren't any good, but since Oriveda has higher purity than other brands, would their all in one be effective? Can I increase dosage to make up for the dilution between all the other mushrooms?

What is your favorite blend that helps combat stress and mental fatigue? I prefer a blend as I'm trying to minimize the variety of supplements. Powder or pill is fine but the ideal would be something tasty I can mix into my coffee every morning :)

After learning a few things I plan on upgrading my supplement to an extract as opposed to the whole mushroom powder I purchased a few weeks ago.

There's a good chance nobody has an answer but I wanted to know: how effective would it be to empty 3g of my lions mane powder pills daily into a hot tea and drink that? I'm pretty sure it will boost the effect somewhat but I have no idea how much

I’ve been trying to do all of the research I can and everything is just so contradicting.

Basically I want lions mane for the cognitive benefits

I want the cordyceps to see if it will help my endurance while running and also to help with inflammation

So I know tinctures are kinda whack, according to what ive read in this sub. Was wondering tho, if you ordered an 8:1 extract in powder form, would it show more beta-glucans if it was sent off to a lab?

And if it does show more, could you potentially make a tincture with it that is not total garbage and still high in beta-glucans at least?

Hello all,

Taking Oriveda PSP-50 Turkey Tail. Each serving (3 capsules) is equal to 1 gram.

I imagine that 1 gram is enough for general maintenance, but my immune system dysfunction (due to CLL) causes extreme responses and illness to average viruses.

So my question is: how much of a dose should I take as someone who is immunocompromised to strengthen my immune response?

Thank you.
