Lions mane: extract or powder, what is suggested?

What they were answering

I see that you are selling the 8:1 water/ethanol dual extract as well. I was assuming that the water extract you have been selling still allowed for absorption of all the constituents in the fruiting bodies as nothing is wasted or removed.

I understand that ethanol can extract out particular compounds but is the extraction necessary when the hot water extract preserves everything and allows for more absorption?

I only ask due to the price difference. Thanks!

Correct, our 1:1 "extract" doesn't lose any material. Consider it powdered lion's mane that has used hot water to break down the chitin in the cell walls. It's not a traditional solvent extraction, so you don't lose the non-water-soluble compounds like a full water extraction would. It is the most like what is used in the human clinical studies.

Our 8:1 is a traditional solvent extraction, using water and ethanol. So you concentrate the soluble compounds, and discard the insoluble ones. Is it necessary? Not if you react well to the 1:1. We were just trying to make an extract like the old 10:1 we used to sell, but with the fruiting bodies.

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
