In holding true to the motto of sharing experiences, I wanted to let you know about these shrooms that I've been using for quite some time now.

Here's what I'm taking and why:

Cordyceps - Performance

Originally used by Tibetan herdsman high up in mountains to optimize oxygen uptake and endurance
increase time to exhaustion, peak power, ventilatory threshold
Increase oxygen utilization and blood flow which in turn improved lactate clearance
Mobilizing free fatty acids to preserve glycogen storage

Reishi - Sleep and Recovery

We all know how important sleep is to recover
Reduce stress and makes you more calm
Not for more REM sleep, but to control sleep latency...you fall asleep faster because it helps suppress your motor activity to help you fall into REM sleep more naturally
Sleep cycles; helps your circadian rhythm and keeps you on schedule
Immune function improvement from beta-glucans and polysaccharides
Cut an hour of sleep loss, over 7-8 days you get an extra day of sleep!!
