Reishi-reishi mushrooms – Significantly reduced levels of 5-alpha reductase, preventing conversion of testosterone into the more potent DHT. High levels of DHT are a risk factor for conditions such as benign prostatatic hypertrophy (BPH), acne, and baldness.
White Peony – Estrogenic, blocks 5ar and pro-aromatase - Strong.
A compound found in white peony inhibits the production of testosterone and promotes the activity of aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen.

Th above is what I've been reading on this thread. My question is: Should one combine PM with both RM AND WP? Does WP & RM not do the same thing? Why take both in a HRT program? Or am I missing something?
Both are similar, however...there's significant differences. From the research I've covered Reishi Inhibits type I & II 5ar....and WP binds androgen receptors. When i took Reishi i could 4-5 days without needing a shave. Now, on HRT i need a shave within 2days...and that's with my T and free T being non-existent, so go figure.
WP needs to be standardized to contain a minimum of 10% Paeoniflorin (solaray has one i believe). Total glucosides of peony (TGP), contains more than 15 components, BUT Paeoniflorin is the most abundant ingredient and NEEDS to be 90% of the total glucosides.
There's about a gazillion scientific papers on WP and it's benefits, I've posted most of what i think is beneficial for NBE here (at BN). In the BN search engine insert Lotus into the userame and check box for posts (not threads) and you find what I've shared.
Using WP and Reishi together works synergistically IMHO.

Thank you! I get it. This stuff is very complicated but I'll take both WP & RM on your recommendation.
