Recommended for some reasons to improve clarity of thought.
Spouse is disabled and has issues with bloodflow to the front parietal lobes of the brain. Often perceived as sort of being slow, sluggish, and tired.<br /><br />After starting to take a gram of this (half of that twice a day), they report that some of the 'fog' is gone, they can think more clearly, and feel much better. It's not a cure but it has made a marked improvement in their day to day life.<br /><br />Taste: I've tasted it and it DOES have some notes that remind of a good grade cocoa. It does NOT taste 'chocolate' but it blends in WELL with 'chocolate'. The dosage is taken mixed in a chocolate bearing smoothie (with other fruits and dairy milk) and they don't really notice it in the beverage.<br /><br />It also reduced a need for caffeine (an attempt for mental stimulus and clarity) to almost nothing. At least in their case. It won't 'cure' anything but for some things it will really make a difference. The package has two smaller envelopes with 50 g in each, which will help extend the freshness of the product.<br /><br />It has also improved general mood, which may be due to the lessening of certain symptoms and an improvement in overall function. Not a doctor, just mentioning what was observed. And if you try it and don't like it, it's a lot cheaper than many other things to give a try. This is a moderately strong 'distillation' of the essence, at 20:1 ... the strength can vary between kinds. This one was chosen because of strength to price and the recommended dosage size (which is working in this case). Plus the overall rating to reviews ration.<br /><br />EDIT:  This is the guy using the product.  I am now adding the mushrooms to chocolate chips melted in a double boiler and poured into candy bar molds.  I have it setup so taking 4 chocolate square a day gives me the daily dose of mushroom extract.
