    Maxout777 is right guys. The difference could be in how the evil inhibitors we know of attach to the 5ar enzyme, thus creating our current dilemma.

    Pumpkin seed is another to avoid though right? I think I heard that one was just as bad as fenugreek, fin, etc...

    Also yes, reishi is most likely a strong one as well...avoid it.

    BtW, Where is CD???

    I'm not concerned about food, I'm concerned about lion's mane. 20% reduction is pretty high and the extracts could be higher. Plenty of people on reddit have complained about libido while taking lion's mane. It wouldn't cause pfs, but it seems counteractive

    I don't understand your statement here, and I promise I'm not trying to be a dick. Lion's Mane and every other herbal substance you take is a food. So to say you're not concerned about food but concerned about Lion's Mane makes zero sense. That's why I'm trying to say, there's a ton of items out there you can either eat, drink, take, basically digest in general, that will have 5ARI properties. I ate a fuck ton of avocados, eggs, even took Nettle Root prior to taking Saw Palmetto, and none of those did anything to me. SP, however, yeah that was a different story.

    But again, try both ways. Take it and also leave it out. See how you feel. If it's really messing with your libido you'll notice in a week's time. I will say that when my libido came back finally, I was taking Lion's Mane, and I still take it daily to this day in my coffee.

    Everyone's mileage may vary, and that's why I'm a huge advocate of people tailoring to what works for them.

    Apologies gents, but Ceremonius is absolutely correct. I've been a bit of a man whore lately....not gonna lie. This is the part of life I missed out on, so, I'm well making up for it now and having a fucking blast. I just can't get over that it's easier at 41 then 21.....then again, I've never been so confident in my life. All in the vibe....

    You guys need to do what keeps your head on straight. I think you're all splitting hairs with lions mane because I've used it during recovery and have had nothing but positive benefits.

    IF YOU need to be obsessed (bc of ocd or whatever), stick to whole foods and never need to overthink. Eat same 5-10 foods per day, but diet itself is not gonna crash MOST ppl, I firmly believe.

    SORRY I mean, outside of worst-state-of pfs... pre fasting and all that. Near 240 days no drinks no smokes.
    Ate gluten 6x and cheese 7 or less.
