ND's Lions Mane 1:1 is giving me anxiety is that normal? I also felt a little spaced out talking to clients today.

What they were answering

how come you don't post test results of the amount of active ingredients in your Lion mane?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

We do. There is a spec sheet up on the page, and we can get you the COA from a batch if you want. Since you have posted in /r/MushroomSupplements, which is a subreddit that regularly spreads false information and has a vendetta against us, I assume you are more referring to erinacines and hericenones, though. Those numbers you are seeing posted by other brands are fake and false. They are using a dry lab to give them fake numbers that they can mislead customers with. They are not real. We have built out our own lab, and developed our own analytical methods and reference standards for erinacines, using valid chemistry. We have tested those competitors and found their numbers to be complete lies. I also have some data that I am going to share with people soon, which will show everyone how they are being misled with fake numbers. Do not fall for it. You don't need to buy from us. I am not saying that. Just do not buy from anyone making erinacine or hericenone claims, as those are fake numbers right now.

This is why valid chemistry is so crucial. We are in the process of having our lab ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified. We should have our ISO certification in the next couple months, then I will start releasing some of this data for everyone. One of the biggest things people have been saying is: "How can I trust your lab results? They could be fake, too!" So I separated our lab, and started the process of having an independent 3rd party come in and get us ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified. It's expensive and a huge pain in the ass, but then we will have independent certification for our lab to prove our competency and validity of results. I am also trying to work with some other labs like Alkemist to help shine some light on this fake lab issue, as they are fighting the same fight we are. Lab results have to be valid and accurate, or you are essentially defrauding consumers.

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb asked me to post the Lab Testing COAs I received from Bulk Supplements (Below)

That's about what I expected. These are just internal COAs. To start, analyzing nitrogen content is not an appropriate methodology for amino acid assay. This is the same shit China got away with on infant formula and spi

3rd party lab testing for ND?

Replying to MisterYouAreSoDumb · I have said proper lab testing and quality control is important for the industry. Whether or not that proper lab testing is being done by a 3rd party lab or an in-house lab depends

...Continued from above... That's the novel stuff. What about the basic everyday stuff? We do that all in-house? Hell no! We still have to send off TONS of samples to other 3rd party ISO certified labs, for methods we h

Deception in Dietary Supplements: Fake Labs, Faulty Data, and COA Red Flags

Replying to DDsPLZ · Given the existence of "dry labs" offering COA's, i.e. an empty building that will sell you whatever COA you like... aren't COA's useless? I see people tell me not to buy from ND

I mean, yes... somewhat for the average consumer. This is why we made this video. COAs aren't totally useless, as you can spot inconsistencies and get a better idea of whether or not the brand has any idea about analytic

Replying to TestSubject008765 · I saw it on the sub somewhere that niacin helps the lions mane cross the blood brain barrier. What about blackpepper helps the absorptions of nootropics? I’m starting to think th

Is ND done launching new products?

Replying to HenryVonWilheimer · Will you be releasing any of the Erinamax extracts you were testing out that would be standardized to a higher amount of Erinacine-A and/or other interesting erinacines? Also w

Yes, we are still working on extracts of lion's mane mycelium. However, some beta testing we did make me pause, as I think the idea that extracts are better might not be true. Everyone parrots around that like it is fact

It's my pleasure! I've definitely been pushing the same message for years. It's just many people are being misled by propaganda and faulty science, both on the Paul Stamets side and on the /r/MushroomSupplements side. Th
