Beware, almost ALL most Lion's Mane products are ground up bags of rice, Scams!
I'm giving this product 5 stars, because thus far it is the only product I have found on Amazon that is not grown on myceliated brown rice, which is essentially just a SCAM. When you buy the "mushrooms extracts" grown on brown rice, you are actually buying a bag full of ground up rice, with very little actual mushroom content! I haven't found any good sources for legitimate extract product, and all the popular brands including "Host Defense" are just selling capsules of ground up brown rice. Pathetic. Also, this product checks for starch content, which SHOULD be very low unless the product is just a bag of ground up rice. And it tests for Beta D Glucans, instead of polysaccharides, because GUESS what rice is made of? Polysaccharides! So, any product just testing for polysaccharides and claiming high content of polysaccharides likely just selling you a bag of rice. I don't understand why these basic quality measures are not more widely known by consumers. Stop being scammed, and stop paying big bucks for ground up rice! Also, if anyone else knows of any other good sources of Lion's Mane fruiting body extracts, preferably Dual-extracted, please let me know, Thanks! Also, Mushroom extracts that say "Gluten-free" are also likely a scam, because many people assume that rice contains gluten, but rice does not contain gluten. So, a bag of ground up myceliated rice can still be labeled as "Gluten-Free". Beware these tactics, avoid the scams. Host Defense is a scam, and so is VitaJing.
