Per the title, is Chaga a 5AR inhibitor? I'm looking for ways to boost immunity but had a really better experience with Reishi. got super weepy, demotivated and practically depressed.

I don't see any evidence it is. Chaga is a bit unique as a mushroom, as it only grows on birch trees into a sclerotia. You have to harvest it in a couple month period as the temperature starts dropping, and the birch trees it grows on start concentrating nutrients for the winter. I would not compare it to reishi. It's pretty unique.

Is ND done launching new products?

Replying to midwestworld13 · I emailed them about restocking red reishi products and was met with a very unsatisfying reply... I'm low on other sups but kinda trying to find somewhere else if I'm being honest.

Reishi products are all being restocked. We were just doing some optimization on them. Because we developed methods to test for ganoderic acids, our first step was releasing our Ultra Concentrated 9% extract. However, st
