I took Lions Mane mushroom for 30 days, here is what happened

Ive been a regular user of nootropics for many years, both synthetic and otherwise. The effects of Lions Mane were fairly consistent compared to other nootropics, perhaps a little bit less intense and in-your-face, which is probably a good thing. This indicates that the supplement isnt overwhelming my natural capacity to function, rather that its adjusting and improving my neural functioning at a reasonable level.

Week 1

The first day that I used Lions Mane didnt really change much. I felt a little bit less anxious (I usually struggle with fairly severe social anxiety) and my mood may have been slightly improved, but nothing obvious was happening. The same was true for day two. However, on day three I began to notice a few improvements. I found myself able to hold a conversation for better and found that my responses were wittier. As the week progressed, I found myself having an easier time pulling facts and memories out of my head. These benefits followed me into my social engagements and I found myself enjoying interesting and fulfilling conversations. There is some discussion online about Lions Mane sleep effects, but I didnt notice any changes in my sleep schedule throughout the month.

Week 2

As the Lions Mane continued to work its magic, its effects became more apparent in my writing and work. I found it easier to juggle different facts during my research and had an easier time drawing connections between different ideas. Remember, these benefits werent nearly as profound as something like Noopept. Synthetic nootropics have a powerful ability to create laser-sharp focus, which is nice in the short term. However, I prefer not to use synthetic nootropics over the long term anymore as I feel like theyre a bit taxing on my brain. Lions Mane, on the other hand, was smooth, gradual, and helpful. However, the effects were subtle enough that, if I hadnt been diligently taking the Lions Mane mushroom supplement, I might not have noticed any profound changes.

Week 3

Week 3 was consistent with week 2. Social skills were improved, social anxiety was slightly reduced, and I had an easier time focusing on my work and schooling.

Week 4

As I entered into week 4 I became less aware of the Lions Mane mushroom effects. They were probably still active, but Id grown so used to them that I was no longer aware of any tangible benefits. This felt like a good place to stop using the supplement, so I stopped. I didnt notice any withdrawal effects or cognitive deficit right away, although I did feel my social anxiety start to creep back in a couple of days after Id stopped using the mushroom.
