EDIT: Very nice progress BTW
Thanks,
Unfortunately we only have a few research studies to formulate from, and it doesn't look like spearmint blocks DHT, SP would be a better choice. And I'll tell you why, the fatty acids in saw palmetto reduce DHT by way of 5 alpha reductase. The palmitic acid and capric acid in SP blend well for NBE, the beta-sisterol in saw palmetto could be the issue on progesterone receptors, which also make it anti-estrogenic. That's aggravating cause it was like a nice looking NBE herb up until that point. Instead I prefer reishi, it's an overall superior herb to anything nonsteroidal. Progesterone cream is possibly the strongest OTC 5 ar inhibitor though. I'll tell you something else that may surprise all, the head of the penis has the highest number of 5 alpha reductase receptors. (I think that's an inside the park home run tip)

Spearmint herbal tea has significant anti-androgen effects in polycystic ovarian syndrome. A randomized
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19585478
Free and total testosterone levels were significantly reduced over the 30 day period in the spearmint tea group (p < 0.05). LH and FSH also increased (p < 0.05). Patient's subjective assessments of their degree of hirsutism scored by the modified DQLI were significantly reduced in the spearmint tea group (p < 0.05). There was, however, no significant reduction in the objective Ferriman-Galwey ratings of hirsutism between the two trial groups over the trial duration (p = 0.12).
