Question about the best quality Lion's Mane on the market

Original post in this thread

supadupathoed · 1 points

I've been taking 1g of Real Mushroom's Lion's Mane for about a month now. While I've noticed it helping with some nerve damage pain in my leg, I' haven't noticed any other benefits (mood, cognition, etc.). After doing some research, I've learned that this and Nootropics Depot brand are the way to go. However, now there is a 8:1 extract Liion's Mane available on ND and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. If so, is it worth buying over Real Mushrooms? Is there another brand that is better than these? Would increasing my dosage be more beneficial than buying ND's 8:1 extract? It's a bit pricey so I'd rather stick with Real Mushrooms. However, if the benefits are THAT much better, paying a little extra wont' matter

Interesting, If I remember correctly the standard LM from Nammex is only hot water extract. I've actually ordered it a few times from ND.

Anyway, off topic question: any chance Ceretropic will have things like Apimostinel or Rapastinel?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic & Nootropics Depot

The standard extract from Nammex is a hot water extraction, but you keep all the mushroom material. So it is not like a traditional solvent extraction with water. You lose no material.

Our 8:1 is a true solvent extraction using water and ethanol.

Probably not on the Ceretropic side.

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

We are absolutely NOT done with new products. We are in the thick of development for a bunch of them. Some of them are just taking longer than expected to get perfect, so we have had a lull in releases. That's just becau

It's talking about N-de phenylethyl isohericerin (NDPIH) and hericene A. You are not getting much of either in most lion's mane products. You have to grow specific strains in a specific way to get high levels of these ac
