Cordyceps...anyone using?

I read for years that medicinal mushrooms like cordyceps are very good for you. Reisha is another that comes to mind. I supplemented with cordyceps a few years back but stopped after several months of not feeling any benefit. It might have been good for me but I couldn't feel it.
 
I had a similar experience with cordyceps as MarkM. but I was not on as long as he, nor was I doing much endurance activity, which I believe it is suppose to help with. I did find Reishi helps calm me and increased sleep performance. (i used four-sigmatic brand...good brand, but very expensive!) Noticed with-in a week of consistent use

Everyone is different, give them a shot. I would continue use for a couple months before deciding though

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
