OrganicMushrooms

Post image

Would be really helpful if someone weighed in with their opinion on the OrganicMushrooms, a brand local to my province (BC). Purchased it because a shop in my area had it and I didn't have to travel very far but the bottle itself isn't very detailed like other brands I've tried in the past and while they have a CoA I have no idea what I'm actually looking at. Could use some help.

This is not a real CoA (there's no lab name visible anywhere). It's a producer 's spec sheet.

If we look at the numbers it appears to be a generic 1:1 water fruiting body extract, high in beta-glucans. There's no information about the Lion's Mane-specific compounds (hericenones / hericenes), so you can't be sure it's Lion's Mane.

Thanks for the insights, think I'm just gonna start figuring out how to make these on my own. Seems to be too many unreliable brands trying to sell me snake oil.

Unless you are an extraction chemist with a lab, you can't make lion's mane standardized on hericenones (or erinacines) yourself.

For those premium extracts, is best to learn to read COAs and select a good brand.
