Frustrated by the lack of quality lion's mane

Original post in this thread

eclecticlove1 · 11 points

I've only had high quality lions mane a few times, but I've had it enough that I know when it's the real deal. When its good, you feel the effects very clearly from the first dose, not "after a few weeks". The brand that I relied on recently started making a lower quality product.

The worst is when I try a new brand, and it turns out to just be repackaged Nammex crap.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is there a brand that works well as an acute nootropic, that is also affordable?

I am going to do it in a more methodical and scientific way. I don't want it to devolve into a public fight between me and other brands. That's not the point of it. I know it can be satisfying to watch. However, I want this to be about the scientific truth behind the products. When it gets into fights between me and other brands, I think that can get lost a bit. The science will speak for itself when I release it.

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
