Chunky Lion’s Mane from Nootropics Depot?

Original post in this thread

SlaveHippie · 0 points

I just received my purchase of Lion’s Mane 8:1 extract from Nootropics Depot and it was in big chunks in the bottle. I had do use a fork to mash it into a consistent powder.

Is this how Lion’s Mane normally comes from ND? Did moisture get to it? Is it still good if it did? I also ordered Cordyceps from them as well and it came in a pretty consistent powder form so I’m wondering if something happens to the Lion’s Mane. Lmk what u think.

I've always been concerned about the rock-hard Lions Mane.

Is it a good idea to dissolve the clumps in water when taking it, or that still unnecessary for maximum absorption?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Natrium Health & Nootropics Depot

I usually just lightly crush it up with my metal transfer spoon, and weigh it out with the other powders I take in the morning. Then I dissolve them in some water and drink it. Lion's mane tastes good, but some of my other stuff doesn't. So it's not the most pleasant tasting drink, but I don't want to break my fast by using something to mask the flavor. I am so used to bad tastes now, they barely phase me. The 8:1 lion's mane by itself actually tastes good. It's like an unsweetened bakers chocolate.

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
