Lion's mane 8:1 extract, empty stomach or with food?

Original post in this thread

I got ND's 8:1 extract and would like to know if I'll get the most benefits by taking it on an empty stomach or with food.
I was told alcohol-soluables are best taken with food while water solubles need to be taken on an empty stomach.

In that case, wouldn't a dual extra be counterintuitive since the optimal absorption of one part interferes with the absorption of the other?

My pleasure! My team is already planning on a comprehensive blog to explain bioavailability and if/if not to take with food. It will take us a bit to write it all, but I am hoping to have it out within the next couple months.

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
