7 Uncommon testosterone boosting supplements

[Hans]

@Hans what do you think about point 3.2 of this study? Long dan xie gan tang seems to be more effective at decreasing androgens (in the prostate) than finasteride.

Inhibitory Effect of Yongdamsagan-Tang Water Extract, a Traditional Herbal Formula, on Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Rats

Yongdamsagan-tang, a traditional herbal formula, is used widely for the treatment of inflammation and viral diseases. In this study, we investigated whether Yongdamsagan-tang water extract (YSTE) affects testosterone propionate- (TP-) induced benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a rat model. To...

The "reduced" levels was still much higher than the placebo group and the bigger dose caused less of a decrease than smaller dose.
The study didn't show that it inhibited 5AR, but rather reduced elevated T and DHT in an enlarged prostate. Other studies have shown that it increases T, so I'd rather say that longdan xiegan tang improved prostate health, thus protective factors in the prostate, such as T and DHT, declined rather than the herb having anti-androgenic effects (which it doesn't).

Yeah I'd think that too. The benefits for BPH might rather stem from its prolactin and estrogen antagonism .

Thanks, man.
I don't do revenge articles/vids, but I do plan or releasing an article on hair loss sometime in the near future. It's never something personal for me. If someone is blind to the research or has an agenda and wants to prove a point by being slanderous, I won't engage... especially not something (extremely) unstable. If I wanted to pick a fight with him (or anyone else for that matter) on any topic I would have been able to do so, but that's not what I do and it's not who I am. I feel that you can't educate people by breaking others down... It never makes you taller to chop other people's legs of... AND it's just a waste of time that leads to a lack of character.

that's some high DHT attitude =D

Will do. Sleep was suboptimal today , some small digestion issues ,but dont know if related.
Feel very social and active, good mood . Slight weight gain in the last days ,might be related to hypoglycemia that I've been feeling the last few days . Other than that it seems great ,hope the weight gain doesnt continue .

I just started Longdan today, what was your experience with it since your last update?

Most of these supps mentioned are AR inhibitors and lower DHT as well. YOu end up in weaker androgenic state, despite higher testosterone.

I haven't tried it ever since .

Most of them are tested in prostate tissue in vitro.
