regardless the usual price is damn high for something that doesnt work! i chugged shitload of those caps and no effect.

What effect are you expecting?

 

How are you measuring such effects?

 

The thing with mushrooms, as adaptogens, is that the effect are very hard to quantify. It's not like "i have a headache. i take an aspirin. my headache goes away".

 

I remember looking up Amyloban before. Only thing I found was:

Not much. 

 

 

 

whatever it is claimed lion's mane to do, it didnt do anything at all. i was doing it by itself for a while too not like anything conflicted. i would suspect to "feel" at least a bit after a while of taking high doses of some high regard patented extract? i just thought its crap because i tried other  brands long time ago, some gave me subtle effects, and one specifically back in the days when New Chapter bothered with mushrooms, their brand gave me anxiety probably related to some effect on acetylcholine from the mushroom. i knew that stuff worked as i read other reports on this too.

 

 

anyway, i investigated for other brands out there recently and i wanted to see what else might work and i found this place called mushroom matrix.

It's mycelium on grain. High in starch. 

 

My previous point being that Lions Mane is often touted as brain support / nerve growth. Study have shown increase in nerve growth factor though there are limited clinical trials.

 

So assume this is true and the product you took had these benefits. How would you know that it worked?

from what i have learned on NGF is that it ameliorates depressive symptoms. all antidepressants act in such way. so i will assume less depression with lion's mane? but to be honest, im pessimistic about everything now and i honestly dont think anything works and it was all placebo in the past when i was still young and healthy. now i can truly find out and understand that its all junk, waste of time and money and nothing works, even antidepressants are garbage. sad life
