According to one study (title below, I'm not sure if it's legally available for free), the IC50 of Reishi mushroom extract for 5ar is 93 ppm. In comparison, the IC50 of finasteride is 0.27196 ppm. So, according to this study, finasteride seems 342 times more potent than their extract.
Now, I don't know if the extract they used was high in Ganoderic acid DM, but still, since this subject is always brought up when we talk about mushroom extracts, could you please tell us how much reishi extract one has to take to match the 5ar inhibitory effects of 1mg of finasteride? Could you help us do the math?

It's hard to say without actually testing the reishi they used in that study. We are definitely going to quantify the ganoderic acid DM in our 9%. I am super curious to see the numbers myself.
