BEWARE! Dr Emil Lion's Mane is a Scam

Original post in this thread

SnooSmart · 268 points

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.

for which there is no standardized method to assay

I quote you:
"we are creating our own reference standards and analytical methods to test these"

You have said that before, that was what I am referring to. How can we know for sure the science is valid ? How can we know for sure other science is not valid ? If there are no widely accepted analytical standards ?

I will provide the lab data when we release it. If I was going to fake data, would I have not done that years ago? Why would I lose out on sales all these years if I was just going to make up the numbers? I would have slapped fake numbers on our lion's mane years ago like our competitors have, then called it a day. That fact that we have not been making claims all these years should tell you something.

How can we know for sure other science is not valid ?

I will have some data to release on that one as well. I don't want to say too much, as we are still in the process of validating. However, I will release data proving their data to be falsified.

If there are no widely accepted analytical standards?

I will provide NMR data for the analytical standards that we have created.

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
