I didn't respond because I have no clue how ginseng or chili pepper extract affect anything. The right form of ginseng can be either a stimulant like caffeine or it is alleged to improve sex drive. The stinging nettle and beta-sitosterol are aimed at shrinking the prostate, much as SP is alleged to do. I'm not sure any of the three (SP, nettle, beta-sitosterol) do anything one way or the other for anything. I no longer take SP and see no difference after taking four 320 mg caps of standardized extract per day for a few months. Some claim it helps, some claim it might actually work against our goals. As far as I know, none of those should interfere with PM. Nettle might actually help reduce conversion of testosterone into DHT which is a good thing for NBE. Beta-sitosterol might help shrink an enlarged prostate or prevent enlargement, but it might also help lower cholesterol a little. I doubt it works against NBE. I take nettle and beta-sitosterol, and I still seem to be getting results from only 1000 mg of PM per day. I can't seem to develop enough bowel tolerance to increase the dose.
