I have a closely related question I've been wrestling with. Flame wants anti-androgen's to reduce PM dose and maintain brain rewiring, but I'd like them because (correct me if I'm wrong) DHT is our biggest enemy for breast development and, in my case, some mild hair thinning on my head. I'm not so concerned about the later but I've been using SP assuming that it was inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT however, several postings over the last few days have really made me question that assumption. An anti-androgen would inhibit testosterone and therefore DHT correct? But if DHT is enemy #1 and at least some testosterone will convert to estrogen if left alone, why not just stop the DHT conversion? But what can do that effectively? ...Naturally? From what SylviaTX posted a couple days ago, it looks like red reishi (whatever that is) and green tea do it but are they potent enough to do it SIGNIFICANTLY? When I search DHT blockers, all I get is pattern baldness sites. I suppose I could try that and HOPE it stops DHT but that market is fraught with snake oil and scam artists not to mention the fact that many of them rely on SP as their main ingredient.
You've probably already thought of this Flame but to reduce the cost couldn't you supplement pills with liquid extract? I don't know why I didn't think of it soon but it just recently dawned on me that I could use liquid at home and carry a few pills for when I'm away thereby lowering my cost a little. Liquid is unquestionably the most cost effective if I'm not mistaken. Does anyone have the dosing equivalents handy?
