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:(

Sorry for asking this unrelated question here, but you know a lot about everything and I would like to read your opinion.

I have been taking your Synapsa extract, which I really enjoy, because it doesn't give me issues with lethargy or demotivation. The thing is that I consistently develop an eczema in my chest every time I take it for a few days. I have never had an eczema in my whole life and when I quit Bacopa it goes away in one or two days, I have established a perfect correlation in at least six different occasions.

Do you think that I'm allergic to the herb or that it is caused by some serotonin receptor activity? I have read that serotonin is implicated in that kind of skin conditions. I have the powder version and I have put it in my arm and mouth without any adverse reaction.

That's definitely interesting, as bacopa has been traditionally used to alleviate the symptoms of eczema. It causing it is strange. Have you tried any other extract, other than Synapsa, or is this the only one you have tried so far?

So is Paul Stamet’s Brand Host Defense Garbage in terms of Lions Mane?

Replying to silver-silver · Chinese grown mushrooms apparently contain heavy metals from the ridiculous amount of air pollution over there.

That's propaganda from Paul Stamets to try and make people think Chinese mushrooms are bad. It's just plain false. We test every batch of mushrooms that comes through, and not once have we rejected one due to heavy metal

Has anyone attempted to extract bacopaside XII or synthesize it?

Replying to Debonaire_Death · It might be better to find a specialized means of cultivation to maximize the bacopa's natural production of bacopasides, unless this has already been done. I know that something s

It certainly might be an option at some point. I think optimizing the cultivation of the plant, and extraction of the compound, is going to be a more doable plan than straight synthesis.
