BulkSupplements.com Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Extract Powder For Brain Health And Immune Support 100 Grams

Very good quality

Like many reviewers, I found the taste of the mushroom powder off-putting, except in coffee. To avoid any clumping, which happened the first few days, I began to mix the powder in the coffee syrup which I have always used to sweeten my coffee and intensify the coffee taste at the same time. The powder stays suspended in the syrup and both mix thoroughly in my coffee leaving no residue and no strange mushroom taste. This works in both hot coffee and iced coffee.Alternatively I use empty capsules, which I make up in batches of 50, so I always have a supply at hand. Whichever method I employed to take the Lion's mane, I saw a benefit after about a week of using it. Not in any jarring way, but I noticed that I can do a NY Times crossword puzzle in a single sitting without struggling to remember a name or title, something I had given up all hope of ever doing again. I also noticed a benefit in the afternoon where previously I'd found it harder to maintain focus and easier to succumb to the dreaded brain fog. Now, when these symptoms arise or if I've planned my time wisely anticipating they will appear, I will either have a cup of coffee with the mushroom powder, or some tea with the capsules, take a 20 minute break and when I return my focus is back even if i hate the task before me.As previously mentioned, it's not a rocket burst, but the effects are clear, consistent and cognitive, in my case better memory recall less loosing trains of thought, or having things disappear on the tip of the tongue, and more reliable staying power for tedious tasks with a lot less of those stupid mistakes that can creep onto a page later in the day.The effects are not permanent, you do have to keep taking the mushroom powder to access the gains. I discovered this after a long weekend --4 days--of not using it. It took a couple of days before I was back to my more focused self. My sister, also in her early 60's, began taking it shortly after I started and she has had very similar results. Hopefully our experiences can help others set realistic parameters for their own use. It was very helpful for me to set the goal of trying to improve on my later-in-the-day task completion, because I could watch as that began to happen once I determined that the single early in the day dose dd not make enough of a difference and so I added the second one. The word and fact retrieval memory gains were a surprise suddenly struck when I realized I hadn't had to look up an answer for a crossword clue in a few days.

I started taking Lion's Mane a few months ago with another brand, Nutricost because I've had good luck in general with that company and wanted to see if I noticed any benefits from this mushroom.Of course, this is an n=1 experiment, and there are many confounding factors, but I do believe that it is making a difference. My focus seems to have gotten better and my mood has stabilized.However, there were two things that I didn't like about the Nutricost when mixing it with a cup of coffee: the taste was pretty terrible, and it left a sludge of particles at the bottom of the cup.I thought I'd try the Bulk Supplements brand, because I've had very good luck with exercise supplements from them.I just started with it and like it far better so far. I can't yet speak for the efficacy, but the taste is much more palatable and the grind is far finer so it doesn't leave sludge at the bottom.So far, so good!

As advertised. I tried some just by itself, about 1 gram, and it has a natural whole food flavor and natural sweetness. The color is as expected and the texture is soft. I dissolved about a gram in cold refrigerated water to see how it desolved and it was as expected. A little difficult so I'm sure it will mix well with a hot beverage. The color is a light beige. The zip lock was hard to secure so I just pinched it across the top to seal it and that worked fine. I'm happy and will buy again. The expiration date is 2028. It will be long gone before then.

I waited to write a review to see if there would be any results toward my goal. I have been taking the 2/5 of a teaspoon every day for 2 1/2 months. I was in search of something to give me an edge against the middle age weight gain that had been creeping up on me for a couple of years. I kept seeing ads for that fancy mushroom coffee, but since that was way too expensive, I did some research. Lions mane seemed to have the metabolism boosting reputation that I was looking for, so I found bulk supplements on Dropy and gave it a try.The powder is made from the fruiting bodies, as desired, the color is dark, as it should be according to my research. It dissolves well in my morning coffee, which doesn't really change the taste. If anything just gives it more robust flavor.After one month, I started to see the inches around my waist go down. Now 2 1/2 months have passed, and I am down a full two inches. I do try to include other metabolism boosters in my daily routine, like cayenne pepper and green tea, but other than that, I have not really changed my habits. Good exercise, no processed foods, cook at home, and drink lots of water with ACV. Still eat the bread and pasta, still drink the wine. No digestive issues.I am happy with this product, hope this helps anyone else out there looking for an edge.Oh, and the vivid dreams though, that's real. I think it has improved some very deep sleep.
