Double Blind: “The Stamets Stack: Can Microdosing Really Change Your Brain?”
“To date, we have limited—but promising—research on microdosing. In a study published in 2013, lab mice who had previously been conditioned into a PTSD-like fear response were able to overcome the learned trauma after ingesting microdoses of psilocybin. A preliminary study from 2019 looked at the benefits and challenges of microdosing and concluded that the area is indeed promising enough to warrant further research. “
Another statement in the article I want to speak on:
“Stamets notes that Lion’s Mane products made from mycelium (the plant’s underground components) instead of the aboveground portion, known as the fruiting body, may be most beneficial.“
—
I don’t really agree with this, as it has been shown that the mycelium contain much less of the components for brain health, like the chitin found in the fruiting bodies. I tend to think he says this because it’s easier just to colonize grains and sawdust rather than dealing with harvesting fruiting bodies. A lot of mushroom supplements offer myceliated grains, and tend to be lackluster in their active ingredients.
