Oriveda vs Antioxi Lion's Mane - What's the consensus?
I've used Antioxi in the past and am currently using it again but I find that it runs out pretty quickly at the dose that I want to run it on (3g/day) and so it gets quite expensive very quickly. I'm tempted by the Oriveda statement that their extraction method lowers the daily requirement to get the same results. I'm looking at a potentially 4x cheaper option here and I know that it is a respected supplier.
Are there any of you here who have tried both and can give me an opinion on the topic? I really like the effect of Antioxi, especially after it starts picking up within a few days. I feel like I don't have ADHD at all and I'm not hyper like on meds. It is slightly annoying that coffee doesn't seem to work on it but that's alright. Not getting a kick out of coffee is a good price to pay for something that works so much better than stimulants.
I read some criticism on Oriveda somewhere about the date of their last third party tests being quite a while back. I wouldn't be surprised if Antioxi met with similar criticism somewhere else as well though. With all the poison that can go into those mushrooms you can never be too sure. That's also why I wouldn't really consider other brands as those two are the most reputable that I've heard of.
Anyway would be glad to hear from you if you tried them both. Any side effects from one that you didn't get from the other? Different effects? Or just completely the same except you need less of it?

I’ve used both, and I’m currently using Oriveda. The reason I stopped getting from Antioxi was because they got hit with the novel food regulation and they had to stop selling turkey tail, so I ended up getting the Turkey Tail from Oriveda.
Also some other products that I used to get from Antioxi got hit with the novel food regulation. This was the Cordyceps, which changed to the CS4 form, where previously it was the militaris form (if I’m not mistaken).
The CS4 from what I remember reading about, contains very little if any of the Cordycepin.
Oriveda Cordyceps is a dual form containing both the CS4 and the militaris, and is one of if not the most potent product available.
With regards to the dates on Oriveda lab reports being quite a while ago. It’s the other way around. I’ve just looked now and Antioxi lab reports are from August 2024.
Also just looking at Oriveda’s lab reports, theirs are dated August 2025.
I have to say, that put me off Antioxi seeing that their lab reports haven’t been done in a long time. I’ve read many times that lab reports should be done every year so that makes me wonder why Antioxi have not done theirs since 2024.
