how legitimate is a 22 percent Eurycomanones in a tongkat ali supplement?

Replying to kusomisoyaranaika · I just called the company and spoke to the head chemist for over an hour. After telling her about all the information that I gathered from everyone here, and telling her that I wou…

Eurypeptides are fake. They don't exist. Those numbers literally come from a single study that used the Lowry's total protein assay, which then they just take that total protein number and call it eurypeptides. For one, that's stupid because Lowry's method is massively susceptibl…

Curious on y'alls thoughts on this. I spoke to a ayurveda person (ayurveda is where Ashwagandha and Bacopa come from) and he was like for thousands of years we put the herbs into food and ate it long-term and not made extracts out of it. Should we have skepticism over extracts with this logic maybe?

That risperidone study is actually pretty compelling for showing astrocyte metabolism matters in the basal ganglia. If I were targeting hypoactive astrocytes specifically, here's what I'd try: * Lion's Mane- The hericenones and erinacines directly stimulate NGF synthesis from ast…

ND products testing positive for heavy metals

Replying to whereismyface_ig · ** Short answer: the chemistry explanation given by the ND owner is basically correct, and the original Reddit post is not reliable evidence of heavy-metal contamination. The situa…

I hope that's what my gravestone reads. Defensive? Yes. Abrasive? Yes. Unprofessional in places? Yes. Ultimately correct? Yes.

ND products testing positive for heavy metals

Jesus, dude... Google shit before you do stuff like this. You cannot use test strips to test for heavy metals content in supplements. They shouldn't even be used to test for heavy metals in water, or anything you are consuming. They are not accurate enough for that, and have tons…

Albion/Balchem's Glycinate Minerals (trademarked as "TRAACS")

Replying to daniel989898 · Gotcha, thanks for your response. I initially though that the omission from the product lineup might've been to do with dodgy test results or something. Regarding the "TRAACS" mar…

Exactly. You are correct in saying you can't reach 20% across all those without buffering. Fully chelated magnesium glycinate is 14.1%. That's actually magnesium bisglycinate, meaning two glycines per magnesium. Any higher than that means there is free magnesium in there in some…

I'll have to look into eggshell membrane a bit more to understand the mechanisms. I will say that addressing the bone mineralization thing in aging women early is a good idea. It's a hell of a lot easier to slow down the process than to reverse it once it is far along. All women…

You have to follow me around and hope to run across one of my knowledge drops on Reddit. It's like the rare Pokemon collectors that have to camp out at Targets and be the first into the store on new shipment drop days. The value is in the rarity! LOL

Again, AI is not suited to analyzing the data we are talking about, and it misinterprets and hallucinates a lot. You have to have it on a very short leash. We use AI every day, but you have to be VERY careful with the prompts and what data you feed it. That study I linked is only…

> But how can you guarantee bioavailability if the product is not extracted I wonder? AFAIK extraction is key to guarantee bioavailability. You need to convert potent raw material into a potent extract. Which will push the price up. That's the traditional thought, and the idea sp…

Replying to SHINJI_NERV · Haha. hello there, buying my first ND product ever uridine monophosphate from China right now,  sure is a stupid trade war, hope i won't have to worry about shortage.

Let me know if you get assessed any tariffs on the China side. I am not sure if they retaliated on supplement products or not. It's all so confusing!

Oriveda doesn't sell native cordycepin raw materials. Theirs are all extracts. I am talking native concentration of cordycepin that the mushroom makes naturally. There are multiple Chinese suppliers that sell spiked synthetic cordycepin "extracts" that get the levels really high.…

Replying to Warren_sl · That’s fantastic to hear, hope Cordyceps and Lions mane get the same treatment at some point.

It's a 6% triterpene standardization, rather than 30% for Lucidispore. Lucidispore is also a supercritical CO2 extract of the spores, so it concentrates the triterpenes, but loses everything else. The 6% one is a non-extracted spore powder, but with a patented process to crack th…

My wife also can't have caffeine later in the day. She has to avoid it past ~2pm, or it affects her sleep. I can have caffeine in the evening and sleep fine. You just have to listen to your body. Glad we have been able to help you!

Your body needs some time to absorb them, so I always suggest at least 30min before you are wanting to go to sleep. However, I don't think it would negatively affect you if you waited till right before bed. It might just take a bit longer for you to feel the effects and actually…

Replying to Warren_sl · I think I’m going to try combining the 1:1 with Lucidispore. Ideally if I’m more flush with cash I’d do the Ultra, 1:1 and Lucidispore.

That's a good plan. We are also going to be releasing an optimized Reishi stack soon, which will have our 1:1 powder, broken spore powder, and a high ganoderic acid extract all in one capsule.
