Nammex Lion's Mane Mushroom group buy?

Hi, I'm from India, and I suffer from visual snow, most probably triggered by a too-potent concoction of Cannabutter I consumed on 3rd Feb of this year. It's been more than 9 months, and it hasn't healed itself.
I've looked around reddit, and lots of posts point to Lion's Mane Mushroom being something that has helped a lot of people with their condition. I tried NootropicDepot's Lion's Mane extract, but that led to palpitations in my wrist, and an odd feeling in my stomach. I tried MushroomHarvest's extract, and that just tasted like sawdust. I've been hearing about 1,3>beta-glucans, and it seems that Nammex is the best source for high quantity, high quality mushroom extract.
They don't deal with anything below $500, which is way over what my student budget allows for. However, they offer a damn sweet deal with $39 per kg. If one is to take 3g/day for a year, that means a kg is good enough supply for the year.
A $500 deal would mean that ~13kg worth of product would have to be bought. I want to know if there is interest in doing a group buy.
Since I'm a new user, I don't expect to be trusted with others' money. So I'm hoping an experienced and respected member of the community…

Our Nammex offering is going to be a 1:1 whole mushroom extract.
Will that be 1:1 alcohol:water?

No, Nammex does it a little different. Then use a hot water extraction to break down the chitin in the cell walls, which allows humans to absorb the beta glucans. (Humans do not have the enzyme to break down chitin.) Then they do a special drying process, and mix back in the whole mushroom material. So you get all the compounds of the whole mushroom, which is what all the research studies use, with the cell walls already broken down for you. Then they test for beta glucan and starch content, to make sure the active ingredients are at a high level, and there is no starch filler. Their beta glucan counts are seriously high!
