If you want the strongest anti-androgen combination go with reishi that inhibits DHT@80% and green tea extract (GTE/EGCG@45%) that inhibits DHT@98%....nothing else compares or competes. Backed by science.
That's in herbal supplements form.
Regarding extracts, one has also note, that extraction methods, such as solvent used, make a big difference. For instance, Reishi can be extracted with either water or alcohol (or other ) solvent. And my understanding is that due to different solubility of the active ingredients the results will be very different.
Especially regarding RR, I have found from a study that the anti-androgenic effect is from triterpenoids (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16962782/). Those are according to some other sources mainly extracted by organic solvents such as alcohol, while water-based extraction doesn't provide much of them but mainly extracts polysaccharids (which have instead some interesting anti-carcinogenic properties)
