Positive experiences
“Reishi is good too (at night), plus cordyceps and maitake. That stuff really helped me get functioning again.”
“I have tried their 9% Reishi and it was amazing. I would wake up feeling fresh and full of energy even on 4 hours of sleep.”
“Red reshi puts me to sleep. But it is a potent DHT inhibitor so I only use it sometimes. It makes for great sleep though.”
“Most people who then try our 9% ganoderic acid extract, completely have their minds blown that this is what reishi should really feel like.”
“I have found that the Reishi spores enable me to not absorb stress at work, which is great that it helps to not get distracted and aid focus.”
“reishi mushroom extract at night...I have extreme insomnia & these things have helped.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“In the past I have taken lions mane and reishi daily, which actually worked well. I stopped because of the possible negative effects on testosterone and libido.”
“These subjectively improve my sleep but i havent noticed a difference in deep sleep: Reishi, tart cherry, magtein.”
“Anecdotally I notice a reduction in libido and pleasure from EC, Reishi causes me anxiety and low mood the next day.”
“The only effects I've felt from any of these is either very mild energy or mood stabilization”
“I started taking it a few weeks ago and can't say I've noticed any specific effects”
