Mental and Physical health hacks, resources and advice

whatever Just a splash of lemon juice is all I use and if you have to mask the salt, you probably don’t need sodium that badly. If I’m dehydrated, I can put a half tsp of salt in a glass of water and not even taste it.

Smallman1 Haha life is good, I have few complaints.

Can anyone recommend a good CBD product to use or what dosage I should aim for?

whatever Do you have a reliable source for flower and want to make it yourself? That’s the cheapest and best way to do it if you can. Otherwise, look for full spectrum (not isolate) and start with a 10mg dose. You can titrate up based on how it affects you.

Thanks man. No, unfortunately not. Could you recommend any particular product? Looking into it for mood and health benefits to be taken in the morning. Sounds sensible to start with 10mg.

whatever Here’s my rankings based on experience (I’ve been using cbd daily for about 6 years). I’ll say too, we have a pretty extensive grey market here, no idea if any of this is available to you.

Given the option, nothing beats describing and infusing coconut oil myself.

Next best is Viridesco. They make concentrated oils and their CBD product is the best I’ve tried. It tastes like dirt, but it works so well, especially paired with RSO, if that’s your thing.

I do regularly buy a brand called Charlotte’s Web (not to be confused with the strain). Their oil is pretty well priced and I use it for day to day maintenance.

I’ve tried a few other brands of gummies and they’ve been ok, generally find oils to be the simplest delivery method.

Just bully Ed on a daily basis, does my mental health a world of good.

I want to give Lions Mane a go to see if it will help with concentration and focus. Anyone got any recommendations?

whatever I’m sure Nas mentioned a good one last year?

Cheers. Just scrolled through and found it. 12% Karma Coast.

RichM I bought this kit a while back.

I sort of gave up on it after about 3 weeks. I felt a bit more alert but then was away, forgot to take it and then didn’t pick it up again. Was a bit of a faff taking 4 hits in the morning / 2 at night.

I think next time I will just get a couple of bottles rather than the full on kit. Lions mane and maybe something else .

whatever If you can find the 5ml syringe, it’s actually quite cheap. You only need about half the size of a grain of rice for each dose. It lasts forever.

Lol!

We go again Dave!

RichM Wondering how you got on with this. I have ordered a batch of capsules with a mix of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Reishi, Maitake over the weekend, but skeptical when it comes to proven effects.

Anyone else who has had good experiences with certain nootropics?

On a different tangent; I have begun looking into low dose Kratom for days or nights when I just need a bit of clear focus energy and not be as tired or overstimulated as I usually tend to be ever since my biggest burn-out a few years ago. I am reading some horror stories on Kratom though how some build a quick tolerance, binds to opiod receptors and cause withdrawal… not keen on that, but also not planning huge dosages.

I am looking to get something that actually helps my AudHD brain until I can get some methylfenidate from my doctor (which will take some time still).

Morty-C-137 I’ve not been taking the capsules regularly enough to notice too much of a difference. However the days I wfh, I do find if I take a couple of capsules in the morning my concentration is better when I’m working.

Lions Mane helped in the days after the Roundhouse gig for sure

In all seriousness, feel like you need to take it religiously for it to make a difference. I was a massive sceptic at first, but it does make some sort of difference from a sharpness perspective. Mind you, i’m starting from a very low baseline so anything upwards is a bonus !

The cost is a bit lumpy.

Cheers guys. I’m on day 3 so I’ll see after a month. I’m taking it with an additional supplement of Maca. The cost does stack up quickly of you are aiming for about a gram a day all year.

Any experience with Kratom on here?

Anyone else who has had good experiences with certain nootropics?

While you may see some benefits from such a multi ingredient pill, with such nootropics I would first suggest trying them all individually before regularly taking such a combination.

I’ve only tried a couple of the ingredients you’ve listed there, but have tried quite a few different nootropics over the years and their effects (or lack thereof) have seemed very variable and unpredictable. Some have seemed good, some have seemingly done nothing, some have seemingly had the opposite kind of effect to what they were supposed to, and some I just didn’t get on with at all.

So when chucking them all together you won’t know which of the individual supplements are actually benefitting you and worth persevering with, and a positive effect from one ingredient could be masking a negative effect from another.

If after trying most the main ingredients separately and generally seeing benefits, or at least no ill effects from any, then it might make sense from a convenience or cost effectiveness perspective to continue with just an all in one pill, but I’d experiment with the main ingredients individually first.
