Summary
A person with long COVID reported extreme anxiety from any supplement and said their regular medications had been deemed useless. Natto-Serra made them light-headed and dizzy when standing, and they said a symptom was gone after using it; something left them ruined after a week, and adrenal cortex brought little improvement over two days. No overall recovery or function level was described.
