Reishi (a certain kind) is said to be a dual inhibitor like dutas (inhibits type I & II 5 alpha reductase).

I might need to start another thread, but I remember reading a long time ago about how lots of reishi supplements aren't processed in a way that will make them effective. And I noticed you didn't mention root, so just "reishi"? Are there are recommended brands/types that would be great for my situation?

I think you mean like Alcohol vs hot water extraction method?, google double extraction process of Reishi, though fermenting (a third process) needs to be considered with alcohol and hot water extraction. As far as I know Rieshi is a mushroom, unless I'm missing something (lol, like a new memo). So look for a reishi " extract " that includes the double extraction, picking a reishi product is difficult, I'd have to get back to you on that one.

Btw, if i ever make it back to Cali again a chit-chat would be cool.
