Vastly different Lion's Mane flavour

Original post in this thread

Vaelz · 0 points

Currently on around 6 months Lion's Mane, I started with a water extract but later went onto a dual extract for the next 3 months. Didn't notice a difference between the two although they both helped my depression moderately. The taste differences are expected between those two but now I'm on my third bag of the exact same dual extract from the same seller and the texture and flavour is completely different.

The first bag of the dual extract I got tasted like metal and didn't have much of a smell which I figured was the alcohol. It made my mouth extremely dry and absorbed all moisture.

This second bag of the exact same product is completely different, as soon as I opened it I got hit by an intense smell, when I ate it the flavour was very strong and tasted like some kind of dried meat. The texture was also sticky and stuck inside my mouth.

Curious why the two bags are so vastly different and if one could be more beneficial than the other.

Who is the supplier? Do you have pictures of the powder? There should be lot numbers on your bags to verify the lots. No smell and tasting like metal does not sound like lion's mane.

No lot numbers should be a BIG red flag. How can any company track products without an identifying number? How can they do recalls if needed? If there are no lot numbers, that likely means they are doing no testing. I wo

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
