Hi Dargona,
I tried peppermint, but I didn't expect any difference, because my hops contains too much anti-androgens. I was also planning to do an honest anti-androgen experiment during my break, but I canceled the break.
Good question Karen,
The side effects of too much anti-androgens are depressed mood, low libido, inability to cope with stress, weepiness, and I read something about osteoporosis too.
The early warnings are all negative: if you stop seeing Male Pattern Baldness, have no oily skin, have no breakouts, and grow no new chest hair or chin hair, you get enough anti-androgen. I think oily skin will appear within hours, pimples within a day, but libido and mood change within an hour, certainly with hops as tea: I experienced that yesterday. Those are the ones I use to steer: more maca if I have bad mood and libido. It helps, as long as I don't take too much hops. That's why I think there is a point where all 5α-reductase is blocked.
Because of the hops, I can't steer my program on the edge of too much anti-androgens. That's why I want to introduce panax ginseng as a second phyto-estrogen, so I can lower hops. But if I make too many changes at the same time, I can't draw any conclusions. I can only try so much on my own body. I learn more from your experiences
