Not from what I can tell. There still seems to be a spike in anabolic response shortly after ingestion that curtails over the course of the following 12 hours, with a 2-3 hour window holding the most concentration of lysine/most other amino acids. From what I've read, my key take-away is that the previously assumed limits of protein ingestion aren't as low as this study suggests. Though, it's worth pointing out that protein consumption in this trial was 0g, 25g and 100g, missing the ~50g mark* that most bodybuilders assumed to be the cap.

*edit: or, 0.25g per lb of bodyweight

Science has found that we have a slew of beneficial bacteria in our gut. Further, fostering and encouraging particular strains of bacteria have a positive effect on our mood and health. Now, for the leading question; what do preservatives do? How do they affect that bacteria?

Seems simple enough to me.

And mine!

When we considered the permanent and irreversible dependency and damage that years of anti-depressants could have done, the choice seemed to favor mushrooms.

That said, we... - took smaller doses - went with a beginner friendly strain - dosed in a calm, trusting setting - had guides that ensured our safety

Don't take these things lightly, and they'll treat you well.

More anecdotal than anything else, my fiance suffered from crippling anxiety and moderate depression until mushrooms. Since then, she's come leaps and bounds, and she attributes quite a bit of this to her trip.

As for myself, it helped me get over a mountain of grief after a rough childhood. I feel like there's no way I'd be where I am or forgive as much as I have unless I had taken them.

No, they're not addictive. No, you can't take them repeatedly within a short time span. Yes, they're decriminalized/legalized in many areas.

What's the intent / timeline for N2D in other regions, e.g. us-west1?
