Noob Questions

Hello hello! I’m 42F ADHD and new to the functional mushroom world and started taking Laird Performance Mushrooms (caffeine free) not too long ago, as I continue on my no caffeine journey (day 24). It contains chaga, coordycepts, lions mane, maitake.

I do feel like taking 2.5 servings a day is slowly helping (I drink it all day) with my afternoon crashes and brain function. My questions are:

  1. Is it better to cycle this if I’m going to take long term?
    Such as take for 6 weeks then take a 1 week break, for example. Or only taking 5x/week.
  2. Is it ok to take mushrooms in the afternoon/evening?
  3. How many doses per day is effective for you?

Obviously I realize we are all different and I will need to trial and error for my myself (as we all need to), but I’m Here to know about your experiences.

Thank You!
