Yeast extract/EpiCor decreasing NGF?
Original post in this thread

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!

Thank you sir for breaking that down. I’m not great at interpreting studies, so I appreciate the explanation. I googled before I asked, but it didn’t pull up that thread for whatever reason. I figure I’ll try the yeast extract since that’s your version of EpiCor.
Do you know if it has effect on sex hormones? I read that reishi did, in the same vein as finasteride, so I only took it a few times.
Thanks again, I’m about to drop a decent chunk of change at your store. Quality products and info

I do not see any data indicating that yeast extracts affect sex hormones. Reishi can, but only certain extracts. It just lowers DHT, which is not always a bad thing.
