Anyone tried Lost Empires tinctures?

I tried their Pine Pollen. It is strong. Anyone have any insight about their quality control? Is it up to par?

What they were answering

I asked someone whos pretty active in nootropics/biohacking subreddits that uses both lost herbs and ND's cistanche why its is his favorite. And he said that while both are really damn close quality wise being his #1 and #2 of all the ones he's tried lost herbs just gives him a more full bodied energetic effect as opposed to ND's more acutely relaxing effect. Which is prob because it's 20% Echinacoside 6% Acetoside leaving more Rome for the other bioactives in cistanche (as opposed to ND's 50/10). Not that that has anything to do with pine pollen 😂, but I've seen plenty of people in various circles hold their extracts in high regard, so while I don't know of any specifics I wouldn't be all that weary of a company producing such relatively high quality products.

We have more Cistanche products coming out, targeting different things. I agree. Ours is pretty strong and standardized to very specific things. We are going to be releasing some that are more full spectrum, and some targeting the volatile compounds that don't come over in our current extraction!

Sigma - New supplement containing Tongkat Ali made in collaboration with A.Huberman.

There are so many bullshit tongkats on the market now, especially after Huberman went on Rogan. I am just going to be very direct here, as I no longer have the time nor the energy for bullshit. Anyone selling a 200:1 ton

Yeah, this trade war is going to fuck a lot of things up. It's literally the dumbest thing anyone has ever done in human history, and I am not joking when I say that. Other things have been done that were dumb, but nothi

Reason for the decrease in Cistanche Acteosides?

It was lowered due to lab testing improvements we made to the methods. All the labs out there currently testing Cistanche are massively overstating the acteoside/verbascoside content. We went back and forth with Alkemist
