- Real Mushrooms Supplement Capsules - Cordyceps Mushroom Powder Rich in Beta Glucans - Mushroom Pills Cordyceps for Energy and Performance - Vegan, Non-GMO, No Grain Fillers, 120 ct

I am an evidenced based experimenter. I wouldnt call myself a psychonaut or a body hacker, but I like to play around with different chemicals and supplements I feel might improve my mental and physical well being. I tend to dig pretty heavily into peer reviewed research before I put stuff in my body, generally sticking to GRAS and WADA approved substances. Also, I dont write reviews. I decided to give cordyceps a whirl as I'd previously tried lions mane, which I continue to take, although I hadnt had any in the 24 hours prior to first trying cordyceps. In the literature on Examine, there wasnt much evidence for any significant effects in the performance realm. PubMed didnt offer much either from journals I felt had much merit, outside of some benefits for older populations and cancer patients. Generally there seemed to be some indication of maybe minor energy improvement and some degree of improved homeostasis. Ok cool why not. Ordered, package arrived, took a single capsule with a half glass of OJ, and promptly forgot about it, continuing my day. Half an hour to an hour later, while working at my computer, I'm like uhhhh.... why do I have a body high and euphoria? (not terrible, like 2.5 out of 10 for both) Its now 8 hours later, mood wise this is the best Ive felt in months, although I largely have been doing ok mentally during the pandemic. In the intervening time between taking a single capsule and now, I crushed my 2020 running pace over 7 miles by a full ten seconds per mile. Might have been better but Ive been battling a small blister the past few runs. As another reviewer noted, it seems to have a significant anti-fatigue effect when running, at least for me. Especially in terms of pulmonary feeling, definitely felt less winded and was able to recover from faster pace more quickly. TLDR, this stuff works.

I felt the sustained energy throughout the entire day. I believe in the product. To those trashing the product over use of silica dioxide, well, please do you own homework. Here is the bottom line: Silicon dioxide (food additive E 551, also known as silica) is a natural compound and a food additive used as an anti-caking agent to keep powdered foods free-flowing and prevent moisture absorption. It is considered safe for consumption and is found in many foods, including spices, baking powders, processed cheese, and some plant-based foods like oats and rice. While concerns exist about the potential risks of inhaling fine silica dust (a different form of exposure leading to silicosis), the safety of silica dioxide in food is supported by scientific studies, though some agencies are calling for more specific characterization of the additive's particle size. I don't blame Amazon for refusing a Return for this reason, therefore. As I mature in life, I have come to realize that many a people are just outright inclined to protest everything despite scientific evidence to efficacy. I encourage all to purchase it for yourselves, be your own judge. Best regards.

Real Mushrooms offers fantastic and effective products.

It's a good product... You can feel the difference!

I have been complaining about ever increasing fatigue and mental fogginess to my PCP for well over a decade now. Going on thyroid supplements just barely made a dent that allowed me to force myself through everyday. I haven't had any extra energy to sustain so much as a hobby. I started taking these a few weeks ago with very low expectations. The difference was immediate and dramatic. I don't know that it gives me more energy so much as it helps me use my energy effectively. Cutting out the brain fog alone let's me make and carry through plans without having to double and triple check at every step for those details I have forgotten or missed. I don't even know how much time I save just not having to search my mind for the next responsibility that isn't fufilled. I am finally finding time to work in the garden. The only reason I don't think it's creating new energy that wasn't there is that, after a fully energized and productive day, I am completely exhausted when bedtime arrives. I close my eyes and almost immediately fall into a deep and restful sleep without waking up several times before the alarm goes off. That seems to me to be exactly how a healthy body should function. I might also point out that I only take caffeine after a morning dose if it's necessary to function and I have more than halved my caffeine consumption. I should note that I had a couple of days where I was a bit constipated in the first week. It is so rare for me that it was likely a response to this, but by the end of the week everything was running smoothly again. If you are just starting these, give it a little time if you can bear through these side effects your body might just be adjusting

Great

Just one capsule and I get energy all day and healthier kidneys! My GFR has went from 48 to 92!

Suppressed my appetite very nicely! No change in energy level though.
