I took this mushroom supplement in hopes to benefit nerve repair and regeneration. I'm sure the quality is good but unfortunately it's not for me.
The first time I took this was in the evening (2 capsules instead of 3 as recommended), the next day when I woke up I felt this faint dizziness in my forehead. I took another two that day and my dizziness lingered and I immediately stopped taking it anymore. I only took 4 capsules in total, and the dizziness escalated from dizziness to drowsiness to headaches for the next 14 days. The discomfort in the head usually happened in the forehead area near the sinus/between eyebrows, then it moved to the top of the head, and then moved to the back of the head and caused my back neck muscles stiff. But generally the dizziness is in the forehead 24/7, tightness in the head and forhead and made me tired and not wanting to do anything. Sometimes the symptoms would be better while other times it was intensified, usually in the afternoon/early evenings.
My hypothesis is this, some people may react differently when it comes to chemicals or supplements that are targeted for nerve functions. I think I am allergic to its contents and made my body to respond in a malignant way. Other stories I have seen was some people consumed lion's mane or some type of chemcial supplement for brain functions have terrible headaches, panic attacks, light-headedness, depersonalization, heart palpitations, numbness in their limbs and so forth that seem to suggest a disruption or imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic (vagus) nerves).
So be cautious when taking any natural or chemical supplement for the brain, nerve, or cognition enhancement. It may not be for everyone.
