That product absolutely did NOT come back with 8% erinacines. We tested it in our lab. The 8% number came from a fraudulent fake lab putting out false data. The only current COAs they have are for polyphenols, beta-gluca

It's all the same stuff from China. We know the Chinese suppliers selling this extract to everyone that they claim is 8%. These Chinese suppliers are lying to everyone, and they know they are. We yelled at them for it, b

Are you talking about Isochroma?

Yep, as I said above, this is a fraudulent fake lab, or what is called a dry lab.

>The company I use has a CERES certificate though for the product. LOL, these people? https://www.ceres-cert.de/en/home The people that are not an ISO accredited lab that tests lion's mane at all, much less extremely

SGS is not capable of assaying erinacines at the moment. Many companies also use SGS to get organic certified. Certified organic has nothing to do with whether a product contains what the company claims it to. This goes

Crazy thing is, the certified organic mark doesn't even do that! They don't even do lab testing on that certification! Certified organic is about processes. They certify that your sourcing processes are such that you are

We already reported them to the FDA years ago. Nothing happened. Nobody seems to really care. Hell, when some of these brands started claiming erinacine and hericenone numbers I knew were impossible, I figured they were

Eurofins won't test for erinacines. Have them send you the lab test report. >But what has Chinese Lion's Mane historically contained according to you? Depends which specific product you are talking about. >It seems to

Our 8:1 is only fruiting bodies. Fruiting bodies don't contain erinacines.

Our 8:1 is 100% fruiting bodies. We don't use mycelium at all in the 8:1, so testing it for erinacines makes no sense. There won't be any erinacines in our 8:1. That's why we have Erinamax.

We don't test for contaminants unless we suspect something is in there. You can't just have a test that looks for anything else in a sample. You have to have an idea of what you are looking for, so you can build the meth

We didn't test for hericenones or hericenes, because they claim it is only mycelium. That's a completely different UPLC-MS method. I suppose we could run it through and see what we see.

Alkemist likely only tested for beta-glucans, which can and are being spiked by the Chinese now. They're adding yeast beta-glucans to mushrooms to pump the numbers up. What's the product? Can you post the COA?

Reishi is ganoderic acids. We spent years building out our methods, and working with Chromadex on making the standards for all the ganoderic acids. Here is our testing results for some of the brands we bought. Vendor |

Total polyphenols are meaningless as a standardization, especially as Eurofins tested in that report. They just did a total polyphenols test with a UV-VIS, and used EGCG as the calibration standard. You can spike with po

None of our products will ever come below claims. We go to great lengths to ensure that. We even formulate higher to account for water content and worst case scenario for our standardization, which literally nobody else

I used to call out other brands a lot more often. However, we were constantly getting attacked for it, so I stopped. I've had countless death threats sent to me, my family, and my employees. One time someone said they we

Some people feel foggy on the fruiting body. It really depends on the person. Some people speculate it's due to some kappa opioid affinities in the fruiting body, but we have not been able to verify that yet.

Vendors want to believe the numbers, because that means they make more money for no work. As you know, doing things right is difficult. It's expensive, and takes time. It's easier for everyone to just be willfully ignora

Ahh, you're talking cordyceps. That's easier to test, as there are standards and compendial methods. Look at the Eurofins testing, though. Those beta-glucan numbers don't look right for cordyceps. I would have to see an

No, I don't think you pissed anyone off. Having these conversations is a good thing, so consumers can know a bit more of the complexity of what is happening the background.
