So when I was researching mushroom supplements to buy, I came across Oriveda a lot. They were often mentioned because they have high quality specifications and third party testing, all that good stuff. But then I found out that supposedly they also had a website called supplement facts or something like that, which was promoting their brand, pretending to be independent, alot of people were claiming it’s just a blog and of course, some defended Oriveda, like Kostya93 but you already talked about him.
Anyway, I never ended up buying their products, they’re too expensive for me and if they’re making false claims or exaggerating their specs, that’s a dealbreaker.
Btw, I ended up buying Lion’s Mane from Real Mushrooms because it fits my price range. Have you ever tested any of their products?

That makes a whole lot of sense. They made fake sites and subreddits that looked independent to mislead consumers. I should have done more to counteract that fraud when they first popped into the scene. There's just so much of it. We also sell hundreds of different supplements, so we are always getting attacked by multiple other brands in different parts of the industry. Since I just call scammers out when I see them, they get pissed at me and attack me.
Real Mushrooms are all whole fruiting body mushrooms grown by NAMMEX. They will be similar to ours. They're not the same, as we have different farms growing our mushrooms now. We used to use NAMMEX way back in the day, but transitioned to our own supply chain when I built out our mushroom lab. So we have done a ton of optimization of the bioactives in the background. However, Real Mushrooms are still good quality. I will say that you should try out Erinamax. It has the highest amount of erinacine-A in the entire industry, and is very different than all the other lion's mane out there. But Real Mushrooms 1:1 lion's mane will be very similar to our 1:1. It's just our other extracts that are very unique.
