Ecdysterone does not appear to possess any severe side effects.
“Furthermore, ecdysterone does not appear to possess any severe side effects [19,47,49,50,51,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101].”

20E is considered anabolic, but non-androgenic since it does not increase prostate or seminal vesicle mass in young castrated rats after 10 days of treatment, nor does it alter organ or testes mass in aging mice with 28 days of treatment.
“Thus, 20E is considered anabolic, but non-androgenic since it does not increase prostate or seminal vesicle mass in young castrated rats after 10 days of treatment (30), nor does it alter organ or testes mass in aging mice with 28 days of treatment (31).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
