Can you provide explanation of the change in 8:1 Lion's Mane extract?

Original post in this thread

YoYoYL · 6 points

You mentioned in a post that you have a new source for Lion's Mane.

Can you please specify what changed and why? How is the extract method affected?

Looking to get best NGF results.

Also, do you where can I find purity tests for Piracetam and phenylpiracetam?

Are there any other supplements proven to enhance CSF in the brain?

So all the liver failures related to adaptogens are due to heavy metals? Because I saw a post regarding Now's Ashwaghanda that caused several people liver damage.

May I ask if you are supplementing anything for energy/cognition?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb

That NOW thing was a few isolated cases in Iceland. We need a LOT more data before we can be concerned whether or not it is an issue to be concerned about in the larger population. We certainly should NOT start assuming that all adaptogens cause liver damage because 3 people in Iceland got cholestatic liver issues from a single manufacturer's ashwagandha. I read the full study, and they claim there were no detectable heavy metals or other known liver-damaging substances found, but they don't give any more details on testing methods or levels found. It's missing a lot of crucial info for a study making such serious claims.

It's going to depend on the person. What works best for one person might do nothing for you, or have side effects. We like to talk in generalities, but people's brain chemistries vary a lot more than most realize. So fin

Right? There has been a clear shift. I am all for people relaying their personal experiences, good or bad. That's the whole point of the nootropics community. However, lately it seems more like a team sport. People pick
