No, Ecdysterone isn't "side effects free"

Yeah, but since they are related and seem to have similar effects (hypertrophy), wouldn't it be reasonable to presume that beta-ecdysterone and/or turkesterone possibly might have the same effect?
Not trying to shit on beta-ecdysterone, it sounds amazing and I got a big bottle of yours on the way and am excited to try it, but reading that has made me a bit apprehensive.

Sure, it is certainly possible. However, because humans/mammals don't possess the ability to metabolize ecdysone to 20-hydroxysterone, it could be due it building up or another effect not shared with beta ecdysterone. The fact that it is in human clinical trials right now indicates to me that this side effect is either not an issue with beta ecdysterone, or not significant enough to worry about.
