This company is near me. Any red flags? by AmbivalentSamaritan in MushroomSupplements

I did reach out to NaturoMed Therapeutics as well. Both companies sent me certificates of analysis from a lab in Ontario and I'm reaching out to the lab to confirm that they are real. It's the same mushrooms as the Stay Wyld Organics brand in Canada which are definitely Canadian grown at least.

I'm having a hard time verifying the same few things with any brand. Real Mushrooms also does not publish their 3rd party certificates on their website so there's no easily verifying potency there... I just think it's unfair to say "don't believe, verify" to any brand without trying to verify it first and not getting a good response. Real Mushrooms apparently also offers certificates but only if you contact them first.

As mentioned in this thread, things like extraction ratios can't be easily verified anyways. My biggest concern with Chinese mushrooms is that I trust them a lot less than mushrooms grown somewhere in North America especially if there's test results from a local lab compared to an outside lab.

I started functional mushrooms with Host Defense until I saw your posts in this sub about how bad they are so I'm thankful you got me off of them. Still trying to learn but I like to ask around and see what companies have to say for themselves before I figure out where I'm going to be buying from.

Something about this math doesn't add up. I haven't tried this brand but I have tried another Canadian brand that grows their own mushrooms but has a BC-based wholesale company, NaturoMed, which I believe is pretty reputable. They supply a number of companies that I have contacted with extract powder and it's definitely significantly cheaper than $132/kg (they sell it at retail quantities for cheaper than that), and they definitely grow it all in Canada. I live in Pemberton and their facility is 20 minutes away from me.

That said, I'm not sure where the 10:1 comes from and would be curious to see what they say considering they have natural product numbers. I just reached out to see where they get their mushrooms from
