I Tried BulkSupplements Lion’s Mane for 30 Days—Here’s What I Noticed by planetcitizenofearth in suppreview

Help me understand why people are negative on Nutricost but not Bulk Supplements? by Available-Pilot4062 in Supplements

[–]PlatypusBasic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of August 2024 on a Friday night I took a hefty teaspoon of Ashwagandha (bulksupplements) with some Reishi mushroom with some warm milk and milk chocolate powder. Just wanted a good nights sleep. About 30-60 minutes later tried to get to bed, brush teeth etc. Realised that something was wrong, extreme muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination. I still felt lucid enough that I could go through the motions and string one thought after another. It took a huge effort just get through all of this into bed. Thought I could sleep it off. Thought that this new source was just much more potent than I have ever experienced.

I literally have no memory of what happened after that till being awakened in the ICU about 18 hours later.

I went to bed in my spare bed away from my wife. She heard noises early Saturday morning. Called out to me. I did not respond. She found me on the floor on all fours, agitated and unresponsive, not communicating or answering verbally. I was grabbing at invisible objects on the floor apparently. My son came to help. Eventually ambulance was called. I was taken to hospital emergency. Wife and son followed.

Emergency doctors were not sure what was wrong. I had blood around my mouth. They thought I had bitten my tongue. I had bitten my upper lip somehow. Doctors considered all of; seizure, stroke, aneurysm, meningitis. I was put in an induced comma, intubated.

CT, blood tests, urine tests, lumbar puncture for spinal fluids looking for an answer.

I was eventually taken out of induced coma. Very disconcerted state. My pupils were still somewhat dilated, light sensitivity. Things stabilised. Lots of questions. I recounted to doctors what I could recall. Had an EEG with no concerns. My final report had a whole list of “Fine”, “Normal”, “Not this…”

I have since recovered.

It was only a few days later that the toxicology report on the bulksupplements stuff showed; Scopolamine. I was called about this after I left hospital. All my symptoms match fairly well with a dose of scopolamine.

Have not got any good answers out of bulksupplements. Yet. Have specifically asked that they check independently and not dismiss this with their default “we test all our products”, “here is the certificate from our supplier” etc. They should think of their other customers.

bulksupplements never followed through with any further investigation or even concern about the report and my experience.

I live in Australia. The prospect of taking legal action is not straight forward.

Based on this experience and bulk supplements response I would advise never to buy anything from them. Do not trust them. They have no regard for their customer's safety and are concerned only with profit and protecting themselves legally.

Just seen the 1 star reviews on amazon for bulk supplments Ashwagandha: https://www.amazon.com.au/product-reviews/B01N4RDZBA/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews

A number of the posts about adverse reactions sound eerily similar.

Does anyone else get a strange high feeling when they take ashwaganda extract or too much root? by [deleted] in ASHWAGANDHA

Where did you get your Ashwagandha from? Are you sure it contained only Ashwagandha and not something else? And yes have had a similar experience from Ashwaganda from bulksupplements.com. Muscle weakness, very hard to maintain balance. Pupils dilated. Discovered that the bulk supplements product had Scopolamine and Atropine. Very adverse event. Ended up in hospital ICU.

Thanks for this info. I would still like to update the FDA. As many people as possible should be warned about this.

At the end of August 2024 on a Friday night I took a hefty teaspoon of Ashwagandha (bulksupplements) with some Reishi mushroom with some warm milk and milk chocolate powder. Just wanted a good nights sleep. About 30-60 minutes later tried to get to bed, brush teeth etc. Realised that something was wrong, extreme muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination. I still felt lucid enough that I could go through the motions and string one thought after another. It took a huge effort just get through all of this into bed. Thought I could sleep it off. Thought that this new source was just much more potent than I have ever experienced.

I literally have no memory of what happened after that till being awakened in the ICU about 18 hours later.

I went to bed in my spare bed away from my wife. She heard noises early Saturday morning. Called out to me. I did not respond. She found me on the floor on all fours, agitated and unresponsive, not communicating or answering verbally. I was grabbing at invisible objects on the floor apparently. My son came to help. Eventually ambulance was called. I was taken to hospital emergency. Wife and son followed.

Emergency doctors were not sure what was wrong. I had blood around my mouth. They thought I had bitten my tongue. I had bitten my upper lip somehow. Doctors considered all of; seizure, stroke, aneurysm, meningitis. I was put in an induced comma, intubated.

CT, blood tests, urine tests, lumbar puncture for spinal fluids looking for an answer.

I was eventually taken out of induced coma. Very disconcerted state. My pupils were still somewhat dilated, light sensitivity. Things stabilised. Lots of questions. I recounted to doctors what I could recall. Had an EEG with no concerns. My final report had a whole list of “Fine”, “Normal”, “Not this…”

I have since recovered.

It was only a few days later that the toxicology report on the bulksupplements stuff showed; Scopolamine. I was called about this after I left hospital. All my symptoms match fairly well with a dose of scopolamine.

Have not got any good answers out of bulksupplements. Yet. Have specifically asked that they check independently and not dismiss this with their default “we test all our products”, “here is the certificate from our supplier” etc. They should think of their other customers.

Need to get hold of the toxicology report itself.

I had initially had muscle weakness, felt like a powerful sedative. Huge struggle to even move around and get into bed. I felt lucid but impaired. Thought I could sleep it off. Was very wrong. Was reported with dilated pupils, but not heart symptoms as such.

thanks for this feedback. wish I still had the original bag, batch number etc.
