Lions mane 8:1 extract on amazon has an F on fakespot. Why?

Original post in this thread

BurakBaba · 11 points

Hello I have been researching lions mane products, all over reddit you guys are recommended but when I check your product on amazon using fakespot, it has an F rating. You guys can see here

I’m just wondering why on reddit you guys have great reviews but have an F on Amazon.

I really want to buy but this is putting question marks in my head.

Yeah I'm with you about Amazon in general. I was thinking of the repeated false reports getting your product pulled, that sounds like something they'd have to admit shouldn't happen.
But wow, them demanding access to basically your supply/production process? Wow. I hope you didn't? Or you just don't sell products on Amazon that were particularly tricky to create?

We have an Amazon rep now, but even she can only do so much. Amazon is so big that even Amazon employees don't have access to everything they need on the policy side. It's the same for Google and Facebook, too. They are just so big that even their own people don't know how to fix/solve things.

They are mostly looking for contract manufacturers, not bulk suppliers. Amazon wants turn key. Most brands use contract manufacturers to make all their products, so Amazon asks them for those details under the guise of "verifying quality control" and uses that info to make their own product. In fact, ANS (Arizona Nutritional Supplements) was our neighbors for a while, and they were making a bunch of Amazon Basics supplements. That's who Amazon wants to find, not a bulk supplier of rhodiola or something. We make all our own stuff, so we provide Amazon with documentation from our own internal testing and manufacturing logs.

No problem! Why ConsumerLab decided to test our product for something it is not even standardized to, then not test everyone else for the stuff we are standardized to, is beyond me. Why not test everyone for theobromine

Are these Rhodiola Crenulata capsules still safe to take?

Replying to Legitimate-Page3028 · Thanks for the reply! I get a lot of this too, is it fair to generalise and say that in general herbs will be fine and water soluble compounds may have a problem?

It really depends on the specific product. The rule of thumb is that the higher the extract ratio, the more likely it will clump. This is why our lion's mane is an 8:1, not a 10:1. The 10:1 clumped way too much. 8:1 is a
