    @alfredoolivas yeah that's negligible. Pretty wild . Thanks for sharing.

    And Im not sure people realize how low 5% is .10% is doable .
    8% is somewhat doable, but 5% is really hard . Especially for 12 weeks.

    I remember posting the 8% study on reddit and some smartass was like : "Good luck loosing all your muscle" ...

    Basically zero muscle loss after 12 weeks of 5% protein is pretty impressive.

    @samson Why would you need more dietary cholesterol? If anything supplementing with an end-point androgen would initiate feedback loops leading to less steroidogenesis, thus lowering the dietary requirement for cholesterol, right?

    Or maybe you're referring to the fact that androsterone is a thyroid mimetic, thus increasing metabolism in steroid-producing organs, thus leading to a higher requirement of dietary cholesterol?

    Perhaps you would need more cholesterol because androsterone or its metabolites, being 5AR androgens, stimulate their own synthesis, thus increasing the need for dietary cholesterol to fuel the enhanced steroidogenesis?

    I don't know which possibility is correct, but if you know which is correct, please enlighten us.

    From another reddit thread on mushroom supplements and coffee:

    All Cordyceps bioactives are water-solubles. Never combine Cordyceps with coffee or milk.

    Coffee w/caffeine is an adenosine antagonist. Adenosine is one of the main quality markers of Cordyceps. The other is cordycepin, a related adenosine derivative. Cordycepin i.p. is responsible for the energising effects of Cordyceps: it's responsible for the vasodilating and testosterone-inducing properties.

    Milk contains lactose. Lactose binds to polyphenols, rendering them useless. Polyphenols are mainly antioxidants, also present in Cordyceps. They have their own benefits.

    Skeptical of this post because the posters says "coffee with caffeine is an adenosine antagonist."

    From AI:

    Other Notable Effects

    Adenosine levels increase in response to cellular stress, acting as a protective signal to limit tissue damage.

    Caffeine and related compounds act as antagonists to adenosine receptors, which is why caffeine promotes wakefulness by blocking adenosine’s sleep-promoting effects.

    It seems like the argument is that coffee + cordyceps basically means you're nullifying cordyceps because caffeine blocks some of its main structure. In other words just paying for expensive coffee.
