Ah sorry I definitely thought you were the root.

I suspect a lot of nootropics are so person-dependant. I can't speak much about nootropics ability to help someone who is already cognitively well-off, but I can definitely say they have significantly helped my mom's ability to remain cognitively sharp despite e.g. something akin to frontal-temporal dementia. Lions Mane absolutely does noticeably improve her cognitive abilities. Mind you, in this case it means that she goes from noticeably poor cognitive abilities to back to just a normal person's cognitive abilities, but that's fantastic from my perspective (maybe not due to Lion's Mane alone though). I've also noticed a surprising effectiveness of high-dose vitamin D + a powerful antioxidant like glutathione. Again though, this is very personalized. My mom, through blood work, we know is suffering from massive oxidative stress, so of course it makes sense that addressing the specific issues that are affecting her will cause a noticeable effect.

I know a lot of people turn to nootropics to enhance their abilities though and I honestly can't say much about that except that personally lions mane does seem to make me sharper (clearer thinking) but that is very anecdotal and much less noticeable than the improvements I see in my mom when she is taking certain supplements vs when she is not. And I'm generally prone to believe most supplements are bs, fraud or not necessary. I've come around to seeing how important certain supplements can be for certain people at certain times.
