Herman: “I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. I always thought natural remedies were more of a trend than something that really worked. But a good friend of mine, who’s really into health and wellness, sent me some research about these mushrooms—Lion’s Mane and Reishi. I was surprised to learn how long they’ve been used in traditional medicine and that there’s actual science backing them up now. That caught my attention. I figured, if this could help keep my mind clear and focused, it was worth a try.”
Herman: “Yes, and I didn’t expect to. Before, I’d walk into a room and forget why I was there, or I’d constantly lose my reading glasses. But after a few weeks, something shifted. I was remembering things more easily and focusing better—especially when I read or played chess with my grandson. It felt like a mental fog had lifted. Later, I read that Lion’s Mane helps support nerve growth in the brain, and honestly, that lined up with how I was feeling.”
Herman: “That’s one of the things I like most. The extraction process means you only need a small dose—just a dropper a day. It’s not like you’re drinking mushroom tea all day long. You’re getting the concentrated essence, without the bulk. That efficiency really appealed to me.”
Herman: “Not at all. I just put a pipette into a glass of water in the morning and that’s it. Takes less than 10 seconds. The taste is barely noticeable, which was a nice surprise. I was expecting something earthy or bitter, but it’s mild—nothing to worry about.”
Herman: “That was a pleasant surprise. I actually found I didn’t need quite as much of my pain medication. I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s definitely helped with discomfort. And I’ve had no side effects or conflicts with my meds. It’s been completely smooth.”
Herman: “Absolutely. Reishi is known for its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. It also supports the immune system, which has made a noticeable difference. Normally, I’d catch a cold or feel run down a couple of times a year, but I’ve actually stayed healthy. I’ve always believed that prevention is the best approach—taking care of your health before something becomes a problem. This feels like one of those smart, simple habits that supports my long-term mental sharpness and keeps my immune system strong too.”
Herman: “At first, I thought, “Isn’t that from cannabis?” But then I read more and realized these cannabinoids don’t get you high—they support your body’s own systems. For me, CBD really helps with stress. CBG gives me a kind of mental clarity that’s hard to describe, but I notice it when I’m reading or working on something. And CBC helps with inflammation, which ties in with what Reishi does. It all works together—it’s not just one ingredient doing all the heavy lifting.”
Herman: “I used to think that too. But when you compare it to the cost of constantly feeling off, or having to deal with more serious issues down the line, it’s not expensive at all. You use so little each day, and the effect is noticeable. To me, it’s a small price to pay for feeling sharper, calmer, and staying healthy. It just gives me peace of mind.”
