What makes Erinamax Vegetarian but not Vegan?

Original post in this thread

nexusoflife · 5 points

I was wondering what makes Erinamax a vegetarian product and not a vegan product? Should note that I've been vegan for over 10 years. I absolutely love using the Lions Mane 1:1 extract and the 8:1 extract and have been using them for a while now. I wanted to compare the benefits of Erinacine-A in Erinamax but noticed that in the Dietary Information section of the product page it's labeled as 100% vegetarian and not 100% vegan like most of the other ND supplements.

That's interesting! I have noticed that ErinaMAX has this brain quieting effect on me where whenever I'm on ErinaMAX, I don't overthink at all? This doesn't happen with 1:1 or 8:1. Another thing I notice is how good of a focus it provides, well 8:1 does too.

I had a question regarding Black Maca. I don't want it for the libido boosting effects but for more energy. How does it compare in providing energy as compared to Cordyceps? Or any other compounds?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · ND Owner

Our optimized black maca blend is good for energy, due to the glucosinolates. It's hard for me to really give you a ton of anecdotes, though. My stomach doesn't handle maca, so I don't personally use it. I wish I could, because I really did love the effects when I was able to try it. My body just rejects everything except for our potent 5% extract anymore.

Any other new mushroom extracts coming?

Yes, we have a lot in the works. This includes improved/different versions of the mushrooms we already carry, like cordyceps, and some new species of mushrooms that nobody is really talking about. 2023 will be a very goo

Study: 10 Grams of Lion's Mane Useless

LOL, they fucking baked the lion's mane into muffins... I assume that was at like 350 degrees for 30-60min? They did no testing of the finished muffins to see if they degraded the actives? We've been doing a lot of scien

Cordyceps 10:1 vs 1:1

Replying to Chaloobies · u/MisterYouAreSoDumb u/Pretty-Chill u/NootropicsDepotGuru

1:1 is a whole cordyceps fruiting body powder that has been put through a hot water "extraction" to break down the chitin, but not lose any mushroom material. The 10:1 is a traditional solvent extraction, where 10 grams

My cordyceps congealed! Any way to rescue it? I haven’t gotten any water in it, I changed out the desiccant packets, but now it’s become a gooey lump. My Red Reishi purchased in the same order is still a powder, stored in the same conditions. What’s going on?

Holy crap! Water got in there somehow. Where was it stored?
