Yeast extract/EpiCor decreasing NGF?

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!

Thanks for taking the time. I’ve heard some scary permanent side effects from dht-lowering drugs, so I stay away

Those are usually the potent type 2 and 3 inhibitors like finasteride.
