Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an evidenced based experimenter. I wouldnt call myself a psychonaut or a body hacker, but I like to play around with different chemicals and supplements I feel might improve my mental and physical well being. I tend to dig pretty heavily into peer reviewed research before I put stuff in my body, generally sticking to GRAS and WADA approved substances. Also, I dont write reviews. I decided to give cordyceps a whirl as I'd previously tried lions mane, which I continue to take, although I hadnt had any in the 24 hours prior to first trying cordyceps. In the literature on Examine, there wasnt much evidence for any significant effects in the performance realm. PubMed didnt offer much either from journals I felt had much merit, outside of some benefits for older populations and cancer patients. Generally there seemed to be some indication of maybe minor energy improvement and some degree of improved homeostasis. Ok cool why not. Ordered, package arrived, took a single capsule with a half glass of OJ, and promptly forgot about it, continuing my day. Half an hour to an hour later, while working at my computer, I'm like uhhhh.... why do I have a body high and euphoria? (not terrible, like 2.5 out of 10 for both) Its now 8 hours later, mood wise this is the best Ive felt in months, although I largely have been doing ok mentally during the pandemic. In the intervening time between taking a single capsule and now, I crushed my 2020 running pace over 7 miles by a full ten seconds per mile. Might have been better but Ive been battling a small blister the past few runs. As another reviewer noted, it seems to have a significant anti-fatigue effect when running, at least for me. Especially in terms of pulmonary feeling, definitely felt less winded and was able to recover from faster pace more quickly. TLDR, this stuff works.
