Yeast extract/EpiCor decreasing NGF?

Original post in this thread

PermanentBrunch · 4 points

Having previously taken EpiCor, I was looking to buy more from ND, and after doing some research, came across a thread that stated that EpiCor decreased NGF in rats. That is actually in the product's copy. Curious, especially if u/MisterYouAreSoDumb could provide any insight.

It doesn't seem like decreasing NGF would be ideal, but certainly due to the study, this could be a modulatory effect. Also curious if there is any risk of hormonal or sexual side-effects given similarities that I understand these have with certain properties of mushrooms (I recall reading that reishi can have long-term sexual side effects).

I'd be grateful for any insight!

Regarding NGF and inflammation: Lion's Mane usually causes general inflammation for me. Could pairing Epicor with it offset the inflammation?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Natrium Health & Nootropics Depot

Really? That's super interesting! You are the first person to report that to me!

So what I would do would be Epicor for the GI part. Then I would do palmitoylethanolamide, Longvida, and nigella sativa for systemic.

So is Paul Stamet’s Brand Host Defense Garbage in terms of Lions Mane?

Replying to silver-silver · Chinese grown mushrooms apparently contain heavy metals from the ridiculous amount of air pollution over there.

That's propaganda from Paul Stamets to try and make people think Chinese mushrooms are bad. It's just plain false. We test every batch of mushrooms that comes through, and not once have we rejected one due to heavy metal

Lions mane 8:1 extract on amazon has an F on fakespot. Why?

Replying to Fakespot · We can see why this thread would gain a lot of attention due to the F grade for an ND product. Before I dive into the grading, let's talk about the grade itself and what it means.…

Hey, Fakespot! Didn't expect that. I am going to forewarn you, this will be a long one. I am going to go into a lot of detail, and I am going to pepper sarcasm and criticism in along the way. Just be prepared (peppered?)

Ahh, that's right. Paul Stamets same up with that niacin theory. He's an idiot when it comes to chemistry and pharmacology, though. I think the niacin thing is total bullshit, but I will speak to our PhD lion's mane rese

I figured I would do another test today. Vignatex, Cognance, KSM-66, supercritical coriander, lion's mane 8:1, and our 9% reishi. Man, it was really nice! I skipped the Sabroxy just to see if a less pushy experience was
