[Lotus]

What would you suggest lotus for someone in their peak (t wise) for keeping t and dht at bay?

Think in terms of how much we T produce in a day, the graph below shows peak serum Testoserone levels. Now, would it make better sense to attack it at its peak?, or influence at its lowest level?.

Here's some basic T facts:

Men produce 3mg to 10mg of T per day, and of that 4% gets converted to DHT and .02% gets converted to estrogen, (estradiol)

The prostate converts 95% of T to DHT by 5 alpha reductase, ( 5ar).

That small .02% of E is converted by the enzyme aromatase, this small percentage can be misleading, estradiol is 100 more potent at the receptor sites then T, that means T needs to balance at the same level to have the same affinity.


Bottom Line,

Diet also has to be a factor in reducing DHT, remember total Testosterone is not bio-active. It's that 2-5% free T that's the issue. I'd concentrate on DHT, it's the main culprit in preventing NBE.

Here's an article from live strong (they provide excellent info, source material is listed too).
