The polyphenols (EGCG) in green tea absolutely inhibit DHT, (and in pharma strength I might add). Polyphenols inhibit 5 alpha reductase type 1. Dutaseride inhibits type 1 & 2 @ about 93%, effective but carries risk. Red clover, genistien (others too) inhibit type 2 (5 ar).
Green tea protects the prostate and also lowers PSA levels too, which is why I'd still take it.
