 Hey, it's Alex here from AlexFegus.com, and I just received my Elford Dynamic Health medicinal mushrooms. Quite a few products in here, so I wanted to go through these today. If you don't know much about medicinal mushrooms, don't worry, because I didn't either a few years ago. And even now I'm still learning a bit about these quite powerful substances. So there's a few of the medicinal mushroom makers on the market. And when I was in Austin two years ago, I think it was at Pelefix, I met the founder of Elford Dynamics, a company behind these cool products. And I picked up rather quickly how passionate and excited he was about this industry and about these products. And I was keen to learn a bit more and try some of his stuff and fast forward two years, two or three years. And here I am using his products on a pretty regular basis. So what have I got? I've got nearly all of their products here, their product range. Let's go through them one by one. So we've got the Regenerate and the Activate. These are actually sold as a combo deal because the Activate I take and is recommended to take this in the morning. And the Regenerate take it night to relax you. So the Activate Lines Mane Charger and Quadriceps, I hope I said that right. So what have we got on here? Energy focus defense. That's why it's a good morning one, you know, take it when you get up in your morning smoothie. I just have it with a couple of water stirred up just first thing in the morning. And actually I have it with my Seed Daily symbiotic in the morning. The cool thing about all their products, Alpha Dynamic products, is they're all organic. USDA approved organic. No fillers, no additives and all that. So there's no rubbish in it. And not only is there no rubbish in it, but you know the product is really, really good because like I said, guys behind this are very switched on and very passionate about what they're putting into this supplement line or powder. So every product here is an individual sachets, which is actually really cool because when you go traveling and stuff or if you go away for the night, you just throw a couple of these in. You don't have to pack a big container or you know, assortment of pills and then you get there not knowing what pills, what, you know, is it a morning one or is it a nighttime one. So it's one thing I really like about this. So obviously with, if you don't know much about the adaptogenic mushrooms and additional medicinal mushrooms, I am going to write a big review, overview article at AlexFews.com in the coming weeks or months. Stay tuned because there's a lot I've got to get my head around. So eventually we'll be out there. So be sure to subscribe to my newsletter because once that's up, you'll be able to learn a lot about it. But these things have been proven to help with like immune function, energy stabilizing energy levels, you know, if you're worked up or a little bit dull and lethargic, it'll help balance these things out. So what are the recommendations here? Mix one packet each stands hot water, coffee, smoothies or any recipe of your choice. 100% organic mushroom, fruit and bodies, no added mycelium, no added grains, no added fillets. Consumers perfection through simplicity. Activate this product, which I take in the morning, 100% organic blend of the earth's most potent, natural, new tropic and adaptogens and a convenient travel packs. So you can enjoy the benefits on the go. And yeah, we have a gram of charger extract. I'm not going to read out the strain name because it's quite long. We have one gram of lion's mane extract and a gram of the quadriceps mushroom extract. All that in one sachet. Not free caffeine free, gluten free, non-GMO vegan and all those other cool tips. Actually it's the Australian company, which is really cool and why I'm keen to support them because my wife's Australian and I live in Australia. So go Australia. All right, so yeah, take this in the morning, mix it up. Doesn't taste too bad. What I've found though is if you do have some of these mushrooms and you don't like them, I just add a drop of like peppermint oil or central oil. I know you're probably not meant to do that from a, I don't know, maybe it could even contradict with this. I'll have to look into that. But that's what I do if there is ever a taste or a flavour that's too powerful. And then the other one I had, part two of that combo was the regenerate. And this has got your reishi fruiting, is it fruiting body? The reishi extract in this one. So this is what I take, this is what I take in the evening. So a couple hours before I go to bed. So what do we need to know about this? Regenerate powerful log-grown, low-grown red reishi extract with an epic 50% polysaccharides content and an adaptogen designed to facilitate the reduction of daily stress or unwinding after a hectic day, hectic stay of work. So yeah, you can also take this during the day. If you are worked up, you know, I don't know, maybe you've had a stressful meeting or just been a crazy day. But yeah, I just like taking it at the end of the day. I'll take it with some magnesium supplements about an hour or two before I go to bed. That's the activate, morning, and regenerate evening or de-stress. If you're only starting out, if you're new to medicinal mushrooms, definitely just consider these two as your combo. And alphadynamicshealth.com, I think that's website, you can actually order these as a bundle, bundle deal. And speaking of which, discount code alex10 will knock off 10% your purchase price. So be sure to plug that in. If you only want to go with one, like if you're real skeptical about this stuff, and you know, you want to dive into the science, be waiting for my article, and you don't want to spend too much money, just start with the activate. That's probably the best bang for your buck in terms of getting started with this sort of stuff. The other, the other one I have here is called ignite. Now I actually don't use that this one as much as often as the other two. The other two are like a staple, like every morning, every night. The ignite is, what has it got on the front here? ATP, energy, and stamina. All right, and this is quadriceps, and yeah, quadriceps, oh it's just quadriceps. So this is marketed as their like pre-workout, their up-and-go, what does it say? Ignite is made with 100% quadriceps militaris and designed to help you optimize your wellness and boost performance in your daily life. So it's like a pick-me-up, you know, maybe it's like a coffee substitute. Like I said, pre-workout, just if you need a bit of an extra boost. Now there is a little bit of quadriceps in here, though, oh no, it's the same strain. So it's just three times the amount of quadriceps in here, so that's what's the same before. If you're just looking for a well-rounded product, go with activate, okay? But if you're looking for a real strong, you know, pick-me-up, pre-workout, mushroom, supplement, ignite. Again, I don't use that this much because I find this is all I need. Now the other cool product, and I think this is one of their new products, and I've only taken it, actually I think a few days ago was the first time I had it, is there, let's have it if I say this right, equanimity product. All right, can you see this? There we go. All right, so this is, it's actually a soft gel capsule, and it's red rishis bore oil. And I don't know much about this in terms of the technical science and all that. And again, stay tuned for my article because I will look into this stuff. But a lot of people are saying this is a great alternative to CBD oil, which is awesome, because here in New Zealand, CBD oil is illegal, which is crazy, but anyway, it is what it is. So something like this, which isn't illegal, which has those same calming, relaxant, relaxing effects, could be a good alternative and option for people that want to use CBD oil in New Zealand. And even in Australia, I think CBD oil might be banned in Australia as well. So definitely check this out. I mean, this came to me in New Zealand and it's an Australian company, so there's no issues there with laws and legalities and whatnot. So in one capsule, you have half a gram, I'll try to open it up, half a gram of organic wool cracked red rishis bore oil. Cool, huh? For best results, take one soft gel a day, tear it open, pop it in and shine your daily dose of Xen, equanimity definition here, calm state of mind and being especially under stress. Did you know it takes approximately one kilo of organic red rishi to make one soft gel? Holy God, that's quite a lot, one kilo for one cup, one soft gel, because, I'll show you this, packaging is a really cool way though. In fact, it's probably a little bit over the top because you get this whole box and then inside it are seven of these little boxes and then inside this little box is one, if I can get it out. One sachet packet and then inside that one sachet packet is one soft gel. So you got the soft gel in the sachet and the single serve box in this box, which is probably a little bit overkill, but anyway, it's pretty cool. So that one, I'm not going to open it because I don't want to take this right now and I'm sure the exposure to the light and you know it probably isn't great especially given that a whole kilo of red rishi went into making that 500 milligram soft gel, crazy. So yeah, anyway, I can't comment too much about this in terms of how well it works because I've only taken one so far, but I have heard some very cool things about it and I know there's a lot of hype going on in the biohacking alternative health circles about the potential of this product, especially as a CBD substitute or even as a supplement to or complement to CBD. So check that out. This is rather expensive, rather expensive. Obviously, if they're using a whole kilo, you know, there's seven kilos of red rishi to make this, to make seven soft gels, which is crazy. I mean, that's probably we'll have the reason so expensive. I'm sure the timing here that goes into making all this, I'm sure they use all the best extraction extraction methods and all that. So yeah, you may want to just start with something a little bit basic if you're new to this. If you have been playing around with mushrooms or and want to try the real, you know, the real good stuff, give this a go. You can also get this in a drop bag. So what's it called in a little bottle and you put it in the and your water and your smoothie. And I think from a price point of view, that works out cheaper than buying the soft gel capsules. From a convenience point of view, this is pretty cool, because I mean, I know when I go traveling, I'll just throw a couple of these sachets in my bag, along with my activate and my regenerate. So if you use medicinal mushrooms and you have experience with alpha dynamics, product range, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I mean, is it as powerful as some people are saying? Do you swear by these little products? What's your favorite mushroom extract? You know, you're a Rishi fan, you're a Chaga fan, Chaga fan, Lion's Man. I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you're new to all this and there's something you would like to know, like a particular, what's the best strain for this, or how much of it should you be taking or whatever it is, let me know as well, because I'll make sure to answer all those questions in the article that I'll publish at AlexFigures.com.
