They're selling capsules of Cocoa Powder and black pepper and calling it Lions Mane.

Tons of recent reviews are reporting it. This brand has a lot of purchases/ratings so just beware, buy from another brand.

Literally every scientific study that I’ve seen
is on the effects of fruiting body not mycelium. Also, like stated (either below or above) mycelium products in the US are just 99% ground up grain/filler, making it even less effective.

There are two new studies posted this year on lion's mane mycelium. They happened about 6 months ago, so very new. Again, these are pure cultured lion's mane mycelium, not myceliated rice. Both these studies are by the same team in Taiwan. We are actually working with them, in fact. I personally took some of the lion's mane extract from that study a few weeks ago.

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
