What people actually say

“Has helped a ton with my insomnia and rls. It doesn't knock me out fast (but falling asleep was never my issue) but it does a great job of keeping me asleep.”

“This is the best one for me. I haven't noticed anything from KSM-66 or Sensoril, but this one is clearly stimulating.”

“For me, Shoden works best when there’s a chaotic mess pouring into the schedule and causing me a lot of stress.”

“I've been using the Shoden, tongkat 10, Panamax, and sleep support already so I'm loving them.”

“I'm just gonna say it 😅! It gave me my first wet dream in 3 years, libido and erections have been better and generally feeling good moodwise! NO anhedonia from this”

“Always gives me a great mental and physical edge. Decreases stress and increases motivation and focus, also boosts my immune system”

“loss of motivation is super common with ashwagandha... funny thing I take shoden... you lost your motivation because of shoden”

“I also tried shoden ashwagandha for a few weeks, but all that did was make me feel emotionally blunted”

“I was so excited for Shoden and it turned out to be the worst thing I’ve tried from Nootropicsdepot. It’s just way too strong for me.”

“I get the same exact effects when I take Ashwagandha daily...with daily use it makes me depressed, lethargic and unmotivated. I really would like to give shoden a try when it's ready...I experienced lethargy with no upside in the long term for me personally.”

“Ashwagandha gives me an almost uncomfortable rise in libido haha. I notice this the strongest with Shoden.”

“Shoden is one that sedates me more than KSM-66, but not in a sleepy way.”

“Shoden is also good for my libido, it's especially noticeable the first few days on Shoden”

“Taking 3 capsules of Tiger Milk per day so far (will test 4), and it significantly improved my thought processing speed, speech eloquence, social acuity, and attenuated anxiety.”

“cordyceps or Tiger Milk, with similar active compounds seem to make me a lot worse instead”

“Lions Mane, Tiger Milk mushroom, Erinamax, and Cognance have been my current stack for a bit and yeah it's been life changing.”

“I also started taking Tigermilk mushroom and WOW. They are absolutely amazing together. ... my gastrointestinal health has improved.”

“Yesterday my Tiger Milk arrived & my head cleared & my headache lessened to manageable within minutes.”

“erinamax stacked with lions mane and tiger milk mushroom ... were all very noticeable and helpful for me.”

“Same is true for every other mushroom extract I've tried, including Cordyceps 1:1/10:1, Tiger Milk”

“Tigers Milk mushrooms are an everyday essential in my core stack.”

“Reishi, cordyceps, lions mane, and tiger milk do not stimulate me.”

“Lions mane and tiger milk have done me well in that regard”

“I also tried both RM and ND lion's mane, and I got better results with ND's (but I was taking the 8:1 extract from ND)”

“I took 8:1 while learning to drive and I felt the improved mood and focus, my instructor commented on the difference in my performance when I didn't take it.”

“8:1 LM was crazy for focus and cognition when I took 2x capsules a day...I doubled and even tripled the dose of 8:1 after I took it for 3 weeks and still noticed nothing.”

“It’s been long time, but I did use lion’s mane at night. Nothing notable happened.”

“I did a cycle of real mushrooms lion’s mane and barely felt anything. I'm a few weeks into ND 8:1 extract, and I'm very impressed thus far.”

“Anyone else get general feelings of malaise (fatigue, low libido, lethargy, anxiety) on 250mg-1000mg...Hopefully my body gets used to it”

“High doses felt great at first, but I started getting twitches at 2g a day, it's best to let your body get used to it at a smaller dose”

“Lion's mane improves my cognitive function overall and improves working memory.”

“I've just started Ciltep and am digging it. It doesn't feel speedy at all...Feels kind of like modafinil without nearly as much anxiety...definitely made me more productive.”
