What is the difference between lions mane mushroom sold by powdercity and Nootropics Depot? For some reason, I get side-effects like frequent urination with dripping urine from the one by Nootropics Depot. I never experienced such side-effects from powder city. It was one of the best nootropics that I ever had but I cannot buy it anymore because PC closed. Do you know who else sells lions mane processed similarly to powder city?

As far as I have been able to verify, PC's Lion's Mane was the only one on the market that used a dual alcohol-hot water extraction. Back when I was researching LM on longecity, I came across several studies indicating that the NGF-inducing compounds LM were mainly obtained through alcohol extractions, not water alone. This may be responsible for the difference.
I'm waiting for my current supply to finish before I try ND's product, but I will say I've tried another reputable brand with the same B-glucans percent which was extracted with water only, and it wasn't nearly as potent.

We used to sell a 10:1 dual extract similar to what Powder City sold. However, we switched over to our current one, due to the more stringent quality control of the supply chain that Nammex has. We've also had a new 8:1 dual water/ethanol extract from Nammex for going on half a year now. It's great! We just can't put it up on the site till our bank gives us the okay, and they have been incredibly difficult to work with. We are trying to push it through now, though. These bank restrictions have really hampered us.
