Some troublesome reading about Lion's mane. Looks like it's a pretty strong 5ar inhibitor, according to mycologist Paul Stamets.

it's so blurry hard to see. you sure it doesn't INCREASe cuz it doesn't say inhibitor in the bold text and cordyceps i think may increase dht
from my research it's only the reishi that's potent 5ar though
From rock bottom to rockstar, baby.
The graph represents "remaining activity" of 5ar. Lion's mane shows less than 80%. Cordyceps shows 110% because it increases 5ar.
Page 205 in the book shows effect on 5ar (different page on the pdf reader). Page 204 shows effects on aromatase

damn im completely fuked then
lions mane is the only thing that helps my brain fog currently lol
well bacopa too but lions mane makes such a significant functional difference
So, guys keep in mind there's a lot of natural 5AR inhibition occurring in nature. Eggs, avocados, tomatoes, etc..... All of these things inhibit 5AR from some capacity. Doesn't mean that they are bad for you, by any means. Just avoid the main "bad guys" that we all know about, and as always, see how it does for you. If you feel bad on it, bin it, if you feel good on, keep on trucking. Everyone's mileage may vary.
There ain't no traffic along the extra mile.
Never Quit.
which ones are the big ones you say?
fenugreek
finasteride
saw palmetto
there's a bunch more I think
reishi
skullcap
mint
ru58841 (directly the receptor though)
krill oil
astaxanthin
coconut oil
thing is lion's mane is an extract so more potent. while eggs/avocado as a whole food the 5ar properties are probably more balance with 5ar boosting things like cholesteral etc.

wtf cacao 5 alpha inhibitor too?
Cacao inhibits DHT, protects prostate against testosterone

I'm telling you guys, you are wasting your time and splitting hairs. Fin, SP, RU, etc, all are progestins as well as inhibiting 5AR. Those don't fuck people over just due to 5AR inhibition. If you're this worried about that, your diet is about to become REAL strict.
