Coach Greg: Turkesterone - The Truth

What they were answering

I think your passion is inspiring and I have deep respect for the work you've done. I can't even imagine what you've done behind the scenes. I know I am extra cautious about monetizing work I'm passionate about because it's so easy to put my whole self into it and that is such a big risk. Especially given the hostility you face and the appalling tactics of your "competitors," watching you pull this off has been incredible. My wife and I personally benefit from your work, from your products. It's hard to properly express the due gratitude.

You should know you are in part responsible for important research in marine mammal conservation and about 2.5 degrees in science and engineering in my circle. I don't know you, but I think about your influence surprisingly often. People are reaching their potential using your products and meaningful work is getting done as a result. If I'm ever in a position to give back to you and your cause, I will. Your excellent work makes that opportunity all the more likely.

About the guide idea, I think educating customers will help keep us from giving money to companies that use shady tactics. That said, I think it's entirely reasonable and prudent for the community to work on that. I know the information is out there and you have already produced a lot of it. We should step up if we want to not be lied to or poisoned. That responsibility definitel…

I am really glad to hear that! Also, please don't take my frustration as a sign of me giving up. I am far from giving up. In fact, I think we are on the precipice of actually making real change across this industry. I got a call from a reporter from Forbes on this earlier who saw my Reddit posts and wants to do a story on lab testing and quality control shortcomings in the supplement industry. At my wife's gym, people were talking about the results we released. Just random people at the gym are talking about the turkesterone results we posted. My wife's trainer said: "Your husband certainly caused some controversy!" I imagine it is being talked about in gyms all over the US right now. I had a call earlier today with people on my scientific team about our research paper we are going to be publishing soon. That's going to be about lion's mane mushroom, and will include testing results from tons of brands on the market making false claims. We are making strides that should create waves across this industry. If it eventually is going to take us bringing legal action, then I am going to do that, too. I will keep pushing forward with our ultimate mission. It's just frustrating when it feels like nobody else is stepping up.

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

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

Lion's Mane 1:1

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

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 v
