Just noticed functional yeast extract on the shop.
I see it mentions immune benefits on the product page.
I was wondering how the yeast extract compares to Epicor?

The study for neurogenesis recommended 200mg per kg for the rats. Seems like a human dose would be pretty high, how much are you personally taking?
u/MisterYouAreSoDumb
You have to use allometric scaling to convert from rat to human doses. So 200x6/37= 32mg/kg. For a 75kg person that is 2,400mg, or 2.4 grams. Not unreasonable. Also, studies are usually going for statistically significant results. So they go higher than needed to ensure they get them. I personally have been using 2 of our capsules twice a day. So that is a 2 gram dose daily.
