I have been experimenting with BDNF/NGF releasing agents for a bitnow and have made my way back to reishi. After hearing it can be an even greater releaser of said compounds than the Lions Mane Extract I have come to know and love, I set off to give Reishi another shot. Previous experimentation with reishi was cut short when I began to have nose bleeds when performing cunnilingus. Thats no good. It may have been the reishi or perhaps the rather large dosages of fish oil I consume daily...Its hard to say. Perhaps a lower dosage will allow me to have the "best of both worlds".
With ~5g per day in the form or tea right before bed, I am getting very strong effects akin to racetams. I am waking up in the mornings with bright, super-saturated visuals and superb razor-sharp contrast. Good mood uplift and a nice pleasant drowsynes are also characteristics I have come to expect. This reminds me very much of "peak" racetam experiences. .
I do have to say that this is right up there with the nootropic effect I recieve from Lions Mane extract. Very nice indeed.
