"Reasonable" for productive starts with material capability.

EDS messes with membranes, including in the gut; absorption of not-especially-related compounds from gut bacteria sets levels of brain chemicals including serotonin. The science is still flailing around going "what? how?" but I think the "consume something alive" part -- this has to fit into kemetic practices around bread or beer somewhere! -- is really, really obvious. As is "supplement, no, more than that, you need a lot in there to be getting enough absorbed" thing.
