  • This coffee helped me so much. After just one cup in the morning, my test scores went up by 30 points. I felt more focused, confident, and mentally prepared while taking my college finals. This really helped me to perform at my best ability!

  • This looks cool but... DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. Ordered in March 2024, shipped in December 2025 after I changed cities and addresses, immediately reached out to customer service who was super unhelpful. They said they changed the address and I would receive it. March 2026(two years after the initial order), I reached out again, they said it was delivered to my current address and sent me a tracking notification with my old address on it, then suggested I reach out to the people who live there. Then offered me a partial refund. Terrible customer service, I was interested by the brand and their design and now I just want a refund or atleast what I ordered.

  • I bought Sunbeam, Golden Hour and Moonlight with subscription. First of all their shipping speed is so slow. Who takes 3 days to ship now days? I placed an order on 7/5/22 and received on 7/14 and noticed they shipped in on the 3rd day after I placed the order and it was the slowest method of Fedex. Their packaging is superb. It's very nice and visually appealing but that's probably the best part of their product. I really wanted to like these products. I loved the concept behind it and what company says these mushroom supplement do. Unfortunately, none of them worked. I'm a very sensitive person when it comes to any kind of substances and medicines that come into my body. I can't drink coffee because I would get jittery and won't be able to sleep. I would get more sick of taking Nyquil because it's so strong for me. I'm the person who would only take 1/2 or 1/3 of dose of any medication because my reaction will be somewhat extreme compare to other people. That being said, when I took these 3 different types by 1 capsule the first time carefully and there was no noticeable differences. Then I moved on to take 2 capsules still no effects at all. I didn't want to crank up to 8 capsules like the website said I can because then why don't I just plant the muschroom and eat the whole thing? I will write little more details on the effect of each. Each colored tint comes with 40 capsules and it's 2 capsules for 1 dose. Sunbeam: If anyone knows Mindlab Pro or Qualia you're aware of effects of those brain supplements for focus. I would say the effect of Sunbeam was hardly noticeable or 1/5 of 1 capsule of Mindlab(2~4 for 1 dose) Pro or 1/20 of 1 capsule of Qualia(4 ~6 for 1 dose). I try to watch for the placebo but there is hardly no effect. I would rather stick with Omega 3 and L-theanine. Goldenhour: Maybe a very subtle lifted feelig that lasted 5 to 30 mins. The day I took these I was actually pretty down and I felt slight lift that lasted 30 mins if it wasn't placebo because I also took them on different ok days and didn't feel much difference. It didn't put me to any happy for no reason mood that I was expecting. I'd rather stick to my pure CBD pen. Moonlight: Absolutely nothing. I usually take night time vitamins but this first night trying Moonlight I didn't take any CBD gummies or pm vitamins to see the effect of Moonlight. I was awake and didn't even feel close to falling a sleep so I started worry that I would not be able to sleep so I just took my CBD gummie and went to sleep. I tried it again the next several days but it didn't seem to help me at all. My conclusion is maybe too little of muschroom ingredients are in these products or since some mushrooms that are real potent aren't supposed to be used legally yet the effect of ones that this company could use is too minimal. I am very disappointed. I was willing to spend $142 plus tax to find out if I can benefit from these product knowing that company doesn't offer refund. If they truly believe their products do work why can't they be confident enough to offer refund? Their website says one can take up to 8 capsules day if needed and that is like 5 dosages out of one time purchase since there are only 40 capsules. Again, I'm a very sensitive person with these type of stuff and if they make no noticeable effect on me I wonder how other people would benefit from these. I will write a review according to my experience on their website and see if my one star review would be posted. I only see 5 star reviews on Thingtesting and their own website.

  • Wow - I bought the trio pack with little expectations. Took this Yellow (Energy) and Orange (Mood Enhancing) pills this morning and was buzzing. Love that the Orange one also advises to take before yoga or mediation, trying that at the gym tonight. Cannot wait to try the sleep ones. I always need some for of sleeping pill to be able to sleep. If it works, I will be blown away. Everything with packaging and shipping is incredible.

  • I loved the product for the few months I received anything. I received emails saying they were back ordered and my order would be sent when it was in stock. I didn't cancel because I liked it. Yesterday I got a notification from them that my order has been delivered. It has not. So I looked deeper. Admittedly, I should have MUCH SOONER. They charged cc for every single order that they did not send. Thousands of dollars. Now I'm trying to contact them, without luck. Phone calls, emails, on-site messages. Sad, because it was an excellent product.

  • 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!

  • Great idea, great concept, great mission...didn't see any benefits. Their three products are centered around mood/focus; connection/love/joy; and, sleep. I tried the connection/joy product. From the science of ingredients and the formulation, everything appeared to be planned very well by the company. However, after taking it for 3 months, I didn't find it improved anything for me. I find meditation to works better than most of these supplements for focus, joy, connection, and even sleep. That is why I don't usually recommend such supplements.

  • 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've only tried Sunbeam but it works better than most on here are giving credit for. I will admit it seemed to work better at first and now I might have a bit of tolerance built up. Helps with focus and getting less distracted for the ~2 hours after taking it.

    Expensive and slow ship times.

  • Wasn't a fan. The customer service is excellent, but the product itself did not at all have the effects I expected from the advertisement seen on tiktok where they're being interviewed and describing what it does. Everyones brain chemistry is different- this one wasn't for me. Little to no effect. I bought the trio - the only one that I could feel was the night time kava, very very slightly.

  • Have tried all three. The Sunbeam is by far my favorite, taking two supplements resulted in detail focus for +10hrs.

  • Nothing happened good or bad- no matter how I mixed them with each other or the quantity. No support from customer service to make it right with me either. Don’t do it. Waste of money.

  • Feedback

    I'm actually commenting on the reviews. You're rating the unboxing? What the heck does that have to do with the validity of the product? Any comments you make after that have lost credibility.

  • Bought the $150 pack with Sunbeam, Golden Hour, and Moonlight. I found them to work as advertised. Being a former (experienced) psychonaut- nootropics and mycology intrigue me. There is no ‘buzz’ from these products. There is only focus / mood / relaxation to associate with them. For me, combining Sunbeam and Golden Hour has proved very effective through the day. Sunbeam alone made me a little too intense in terms of thought / focus, so dialing it back by stacking the two day time caps was perfect. Pro social and focused. Moonlight doesn’t help me get to sleep, but it does help me STAY asleep. Add a little Ashwaganda to the mix and - perfect. Kinda hoping these catch on. Would love to see the price come down as they’re just a little too steep for daily use, but damn - if they were more affordable, they’d be an everyday thing. No cap.

    The only drawback is price. Cut it by a third and I’d be regular.

  • At first my subscription experience was amazing. I found the product helpful. Then for 5 months I was charged for my subscription product with claim that there is a back order. I finally inquired 2 months ago for refund and to cancel my subscription. I did receive a response but it was to hurry up and wait as their refund process was on back order. Seriously!! That’s not even a thing I’m still waiting for my refund. I have reported the company. Save your money and time friends, please

  • Don’t buy from this website is a scam. I never received the product, they charged me twice because I got on time, and is been 3 months this since I practically begging for my refund.

  • Never Received

    I've been charged over $1300 for 6 orders since March that I never received! I've reached out several times letting them know the orders never even shipped but I've still been charged! I was told I'd be refunded and subscription cancelled but I just got charged again! Such a scam!!!!!

  • The first shipment I received in June of 2023 worked so well. I was a fan and told everyone how each variety worked well and did what it said it would do. I didnt want to auto-refill every month because I still had some left, so I manually requested a refill a few months later, in November of 2023. This round of refills didnt seem to do anything for me, as if they lost their potency. I did decide to refill again in March of 2024, but ended up canceling when my order still didnt ship 2 months later, and First Person refunded my money. I hope they can get back to their original potency and effectiveness, which I havent felt since that first time back in June 2023. It's not worth having my $$ tied up hoping they will someday ship my next refills.
