Hi Aria, so you just started taking reishi right? I wouldn't mix saw palmetto, let reishi do its thing. Are you taking RR in capsules or as tea?

>Inhibit DHT in the Liver.
I swear I've felt growing pains a lot more in the last six months than I have in the previous two years. I’m attributing this to this liver cleansing diet program I’m on now.
It’s interesting that Reishi is stronger than Finasteride.
I had a very weird interaction with Finasteride 1/4 5mg when used with the blocker Decapeptyl SR 11.25mg, to the point it was inadvertently raising T enough for continued body hair, though I have little it's been very stubborn since ceasing Finasteride and soloy using that blocker this problem has started to resolve. I thought to put it here as its quite interesting but also weird.

Thanks for the info, I guess it'd be closer to tea? I just shovel out some bitter powder out of the bag and do a miniature cinnamon challenge with it. Wash the powder down with water.

i ordered reishi liquid extract from hawaiinphrams on amazon. not sure how much more or less powerful it is vs the powder. i would imagine the extract would be a bit more powerful, since its concentrated? i am going to try it sublingual. would it be better to let the liver handle it?

Extracts are typically more potent. Extracts in there nature, pull more out. Reishi Extract is amazing when its in alcohol, showing to be the most potent when it comes to DHT inhibition. Even Saw palmetto in extract form( containing equal or more than 85% fatty acids and sterols) as been shown to be more potent than pharmaceutical level DHT blockers.

I wonder how do you go about combining the two? Mix up with some vodka theen? Lol

If you want the strongest anti-androgen combination go with reishi that inhibits DHT@80% and green tea extract (GTE/EGCG@45%) that inhibits DHT@98%....nothing else compares or competes. Backed by science.
That's in herbal supplements form.
