"Because I now live in a country where my ADHD meds are hard to find, I started looking for natural alternatives. After reading the reviews, I decided to try Genius Mushrooms. I liked that they only had a few ingredients because I’m sensitive to a lot of “natural” things and complex formulas make it hard to know what I’m reacting to poorly or to know what works.

Within a week or so, I felt like superwoman in the focus and recall departments. I could complete tasks, I could carry on a conversation without getting distracted and I didn’t walk into a room and wonder why I went there. It was fabulous. I also slept better. I DID feel a smidge of anxiety in the evenings as it wore off but I solved that by taking an evening dose. No problem.

Unfortunately, about two months into consuming the mushrooms, I started to feel a strange heaviness in my chest. My energy left. I was dizzy upon standing. My Apple Watch tracks my heart rate, and I realized my heart rate had dropped from my normal low 80’s to being in the low 60’s.

Then, about a month in, the extreme anxiety set in. I would wake up in the morning feeling like my insides were shaking. Because my brain was so focused, I could go over my list of things I needed to do each day but I could barely crawl out of bed to get anything done. It was a horrible feeling. I thought I had fallen into some sort of deep depression “for no reason.”

Finally, the bells started going off in my head. I realized that this darkness had settled down on me after I started this supplement. I decided to stop taking them to see if it helped. By the second day without them, I felt completely normal again. I waited a few more days and took one last morning dose to test it and see how I felt. By the afternoon, I felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown. Nope. Can’t do that anymore.

I have since done more research and found that reishi mushrooms are known to thin the blood and lower blood pressure. This is great news if you have high blood pressure but I have very low BP naturally. This explained the dizziness.

On the plus side, my husband is also taking them. He has done wonderfully on them. His ADHD was so bad that he was spending half of his time looking for things he had just had in his hand but couldn’t recall where he set them down. I was actually nervous that he might be slipping into dementia. This supplement made him so much better, it’s like living with a new man.

I will also add, I’m a natural redhead and have always had weird reactions to medications, like many other redheads. I also react to many foods, items in nature and chemicals in products. I DO think they work for improving mental focus and recall. I wish I could keep taking them.

Just pay attention to what your body is telling you. Best of luck to you!"

"Ok I like it. I didn't think I would because I hated everything else. Thesis, Elevate and Avantera all gave me jitters or did nothing. But this.. yeah it's good.
I tested it out on myself. I took it everyday for 5 days. By the 2nd day I noticed I flew past 1pm when I'd usually take a little snooze! By the morning of day 4 I noticed I had been falling asleep within a few minutes at night instead of laying there an hour.
On day 6 I didn't take them.
I was sluggish, tired and needed my nap again. It's when you miss a day you notice how well these have been working.
Day 7 I started taking them again and I DO feel a difference in wakefulness and motivation. I say "wakefulness" because it doesn't really give me "energy" I'm just not as sluggish as before. I take it with my morning coffee, then have a piece of toast or a banana usually 20 mins later. I have not noticed stomach upset or other digestional issues. I have adjusted the dose to 2 pills in the am and one at 2pm ish. I'm noticing a bit of a crash around 3pm, so it just kind of keeps my levels up a bit to finish out the evening. I like it so much I just ordered my second bottle!"
