Experience

After placing an order for Golden Hour, I eagerly awaited its arrival, but unfortunately, the shipping process was slower than I had anticipated. However, once it arrived, I was pleased with the aesthetically pleasing packaging and excited to give it a try. Regrettably, after using the product for two weeks, I found that it did not live up to my expectations. Despite the product's claims to promote connection and joy, I did not experience any noticeable effects. Even with potentially beneficial ingredients like organic Reishi mushroom, affron (Saffron), and Bacopa Monnieri, I did not feel any increased sense of well-being or happiness.

I really wanted to like First Person. I'm a big mycology nerd, so I was psyched to see functional mushroom compounds in such a beautifully designed product. Unfortunately I tried the whole set for weeks and didn't notice any effects at all. Gorgeous packaging and a cool idea, but really overpromises and under-delivers.

I really wanted to enjoy First Person more than I actually did. The whole unboxing experience is great, the pills look exactly as cool as you think they will, but it just didn't work that well. I love that the bottoms of the tins have QR codes to make reordering a breeze. Sunbeam - I felt a noticeable added focus when I took two pills Golden Hour - I never felt anything when I took these before socializing but maybe I'm just an unsocial person Moonlight - I actually enjoyed this one and thought it worked well Unfortunately, the price is just too high for me to justify regularly buying First Person but I'm still keeping the tins because they're great for storage and organization!

I have all 3 My experience was that sunbeam was the best or that I noticed the most, actually quite a difference. It was very nice and others actually noticed. I was up and about for the day quicker and starting to do things. The golden hour, a very slight sensation, tried it just watching tv, very content. Moon beam, I’ve not slept well in the past, for a long time, months on end, only couple hours here and there, I have slept more consistent hours, no groggy or falling asleep feeling which I was bracing for, so that’s nice. Not really a “feeling” just have slept more hours.

Feedback

For other people trying this brand, and I’ve read the other reviews. Granted every body reacts differently to different things, that being said, I’ve been in a bit of a rut lately and this noticeably helps. If 90% of your life/social/sleep/aren’t late to work lol/actually go out with friends, maybe this won’t help you as much. But it helped me. I would be purchasing the yellow/sunbeam and purple/moon beam again.

Experience

I bought the three tin collection for $150. I finished all of the pills in two weeks. I didn't notice even the slightest effect. I took them every day at the same time. In the first week, I took two pills of each supplement at specific times. The second week I took four pills of each supplement at the same specific times. (That's actually a total of 13 days). If I am supposed to take these for a month in order to notice a difference, why are so few pills shipped at a time? Most of the ingredients you can get on Amazon for much cheaper. There is very little that is that unique about these supplements; they are just packaged well. I like the idea of the tins with the colors and QR code and that they are reusable, but the tins do not stay closed well. They spill when traveling. Like others mentioned, the shipping time and lack of tracking are ridiculous in this day and age. Overall, these are way too expensive for what you get. Will not be reordering. It bothers me that the company only shows positive reviews on its website. I was sent a review link by the company using a service called https://junip.co/. My review never went through there. To me, this makes the company seem disingenuous when they aren't willing to show negative reviews. It's all marketing to sell more.

Paid $150 for all three. I never received anything. From what I can tell, this is a scam. Buyer beware.

If this is a legitimate company, they should deliver the product they commit to and not steal from their customers.

Experience

Sun beam is hands down one of the best out there. I'm only writing this because most reviews here are people that haven't taken the correct amount or taken for an extended amount of time. This product makes a HUGE difference for me when I'm tring to access information in my brain without stopping or saying uuhhh uuhhh, you know what I mean. Plus it helps give me a nice boost for productivity. Take the correct dose an stick with it. My grandfather had alzheimers an my father is showing signs of it as well, i have no doubt sunbeam is doing something because I feel SHARPER an on my game during intense conversations. You can't expect a magic bullet with this stuff by taking one or two doses. It's expensive but worth it for me. Stacking sunbeam with golden hour has not been much of a difference so I'm sticking with the sunbeam exclusively. Haven't tried the other one yet but I've heard micro dosing really helps so I'm about to start sunbeam plus that. The only way to know if it works is to order it an take a month supply. If your forgetful an notice you can't remember simple things that are on the tip of your tounge, sunbeam could be for you. I've noticed a HUGE an impact pulling up old information I've learned years ago. I'll be back to drop my 2cents again after a month of micro dosing with sunbeam.

Experience

One of my friends recommended this product to me and gave me 3 sunbeam capsules. On the second day of taking one tablet , I did notice I was quite a bit calmer while dealing with my toddler having a meltdown whilst driving . So I decides to try it about a month later and ordered. It was quite expensive and I had to pay an extra $35 for custom fees at the post office after waiting over 6 weeks for my order to arrive. I did contact customer service twice regarding shipping , they couldn't track my order but did offer to either ship out new product or a refund . The unboxing experience with the packaging was really well done and super informative. I thought the storage containers were great as far as sustainability and functionality where I can store the tins behind my bathroom mirror thanks to the magnetic tin. I like that they had a qr code to refer to when it was time to order more . As far as the product itself, I thought the sunbeam capsules were great. I have adhd , anxiety and depression , I was looking for alternatives to help with my anxiety/depression after coming off my prescription medication. I was able to focus and get alot of tasks done and then some so it worked for me. However , I did not find the moonlight capsules to help me with my sleep. Overall, I think the company is great with their customer service and well thought out products and packaging. Mushrooms from what I have researched and expierienced with first person and other purchases from different store fronts are really beneficial . Keep in mind, some mental wellness products work differently on everyone, what works great for someone may not be the same for another and that seems to be the consensus from other reviews I saw. With that being said, between my long shipping experience, and with how much I paid for everything, im not sure if this is something I will continue to repurchase in the future. Which does suck because I really like the sunbeam capsules. If you can afford it, and don't mind waiting , I say go for it and give it a try . Pros: -as someone with adhd, I really enjoyed the sunbeam capsules . I was pretty focused and was able to get alot of tasks done . - I really liked the component packagaing, the magnetic backing is great to store behind the bathroom mirror cabinet away from my kids and I liked that there was a qr code on the back to order more once you ran out of your capsules. -the unboxing packaging was really cool, they also had eco friendly satchels that contained the capsules ordered. It also came with an informative booklet describing the brands products. -customer service was great and offered solutions promptly when I contacted them. Cons: - it's expensive - I didn't find the night time capsules to work - while customer service was friendly, I waited over 6 weeks for my order to come in. I emailed about twice to inquire the tracking and information on where it was, when to expect it to come. They couldn't update the tracking information and had no answers to when I could expect it to arrive. They did however offer to send out new product or a refund

Experience

Golden hour and sunbeam left me exhausted and depressed! The exact opposite of what they advertised- I tried adjusting dose but nothing worked. They told me to take everyday multiple times to see results and I'd rather not push through it seems my body is trying to say don't do this. I am super healthy and not on any medications. I am very sensitive and aware as well. Huge let down for the price tag.

I felt nothing at all. No noticeable difference in focus or sleep or anything they promised. Packaging is great but do not waste your money.
