BEWARE! Dr Emil Lion's Mane is a Scam

Original post in this thread

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.

I will provide the lab data when we release it.
I will provide NMR data for the analytical standards that we have created.

How can we know that's real ? I'm not a chemist !
A vendor testing his own products and telling everybody his methods are better than other people's methods screams "conflict of interest" my friend.

How can you trust anyone at that point? Physically go audit the lab in person? You have to place some level of trust in a lab at some point. Even then, we catch mistakes by large trusted labs all the time. You just have to look at the data, and assess the results based on a preponderance of the evidence.

We are actually about to be ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified, so I suppose that will assuage some of your concern. We are under pending accreditation right now, and should have full accreditation by the time we release the lion's mane data. If you don't trust us after we get our lab independently ISO certified, then I don't think there is much I can say to you to change your mind.

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

Is ND done launching new products?

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
