From my experience, Nootropicsdepot Lion's mane mushroom is worse than Powder City

Sorry for my bad English.

While powdercity lion's mane uplifts my mood and does not impair my cognition, ND Lion's mane decreased my digit span scores (tested on cambridge brain science) and did not enhance anything. It also worsened my gaming performance.

I tested ND lion's mane with various dosage and on an empty stomach. I miss the old Powdercity:(

MindNutrition is also having problems with their payment provider. Can someone explain to me why banks care about what's being sold, as long as it's legal?

It would take me hours to even scratch the surface of what I have learned about the banking, card processing, and check systems in the US and around the world. The gist of it is that our government put a bunch of financial regulations in place since 2008 that have screwed a ton of shit up. Starting with Dodd/Frank, then moving through a few other executive orders that Obama signed, it massively increased the risks for banks. Well banks hate risk, so they priced it in for a while, then they decided the risk was too high for many things. That makes them automatically drop/deny you for little things here and there. They also will not tell you the rules ahead of time. So you cannot know what will/will not set their risk departments off. We are literally playing a game where we do not know the rules, and have no second chances. If you do something they don't like, you are lucky if they give you 30 days to find a new account. We've had many accounts immediately terminated, and then they hold your money for half a year or more. It's killing our industry.

TL;DR- The US government wanted more control over our financial industry, and we allowed them to take it. Now it's so complicated that banks see risk in thousands of places they did not see before. Rather than figuring it out, and pricing it in, they decide to just not do business in certain situations. The only thing that will fix it is a rollback of some of the financial regulations put into place since 2008.

This is part of the wholesale price list for "Nammex", the supplier of mushroom powders that many companies repackage/encapsulate and sell for a huge profit margin

Replying to eclecticlove1 · So where do you get the powder for the 8:1 dual phase extract?

We have our own suppliers, just like we do for all our ND branded products. They make it to our specifications. Then we test them in our lab for ID, content, beta-glucans, heavy metals, and now residual solvent residues.

Why the lion's mane you're buying is probably bunk.

First off, our Lion's Mane is not a traditional water extract. The water is used to break down the chitin in the cell walls, but the entire mushroom material is kept in. So you don't lose anything that you would with a f
