Let customers speak for us
My boyfriend and I have been long time advocates for Baltispore. The individuals who work for and created the company are knowledgeable, friendly, and just all-around good people. The products they produce are backed by real-life reviews and we have seen the benefits in ourselves. Cannot say enough good things about this company and the way they operate. Will continue to be customers for as long as they'll have us! :)_
We all strive to make positive changes in our life especially physically. That comes from within yourself but a clear mindset allows you to focus on the changes you search for. Since I've been on the Lion's Mane I've quit everything that is harmful to me. I've never felt better mentally, physically and spiritually. Bless the Baltispore team for giving me the supplements needed to where I wanted to be. Much love to the fam!
I have been trying different tinctures (Reishi, Maitake, Cordyceps). I have really enjoyed them and have noticed some benefits in taking them daily. Having natural ways to maintain health and support my body is important to me and I love that it is a small business local to Baltimore!
Great unique gift that still lets the recipient have some choices. Very happy with it
The lion’s mane mushrooms I grew from the kit are bountiful and beautiful! I appreciated being able to grow them myself because they are hard to find in markets. It’s also fun to watch them grow! I made crab cakes after harvesting and they have the same taste and have the texture.
Original review: "I bought 4 growing blocks, put two at a time in the mono tub (the other in the fridge)...I was very disappointed in the harvest, despite following instructions to the letter (misting 3 times a day.) UPDATED: Baltispore reached out to me and offered to replace two growing blocks. I was told that sometimes the cold during transport in winter can affect production, but nonetheless, the company's very nice rep, Chris, said I could still have the replacement blocks. Outstanding customer service!
I purchased lion's mane tincture at the Maker's Market and have been using it in my daily routine. It has been about a month of regular use - I just drop it into my morning coffee. I conducted a "test" on how it has affected me. I did not take any other supplement and did not make any drastic changes to my diet or physical activity. I wanted to really put the tincture to the test. Around a week and half I noticed that I was more alert in the mornings, especially in the office. My brain felt like it was on overdrive! crushing every task that was given to me. I thought it was just fluke. Week 2 and week 3 rolls around and here we are today, a month of consistent use - I'm focused, my fueled, I've noticed a huge shift in my ability to concentrate and retain information. I have these Jimmy Neutron brain blast moments... I plan to continue my use of Lion's mane and see how I continue to respond to it. So far so good! I love it!
Overall everything you sent me is great and I do so appreciate every thing you done for me so thanks you, I've been telling everyone that will listen how good you and your customer service is great, if I could give you ten stars above from five, well I just did
I love BaltiSpore super knowledgeable and quality products
We had great success with the Lions Mane right from the start, and it is now in the middle of a second growth. But we did not see the same progress with the other two. Chris helped us troubleshoot the issue and was a great resource. The Reishi was broken up during shipping so we got a replacement; we made some errors with the Turkey Tail but Chris replaced that block as well and we can already see positive growth on the new one. VERY HAPPY with the customer care!
The corduroy cap with the Baltispore logo was a hit. I had to remind my daughter’s mushroom foraging boyfriend of his Baltimore roots.
Chris was extremely attentive and quick to respond to any of my questions and concerns.
So happy with my mushroom growing kit! It's perfect for learning about growing mushrooms my first time. They've been so good. I had a small issue with my product, but Baltispore went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the product.
