Just one more side note: Bryan is saying this and dave is saying this, I mean, which one is it fellas?

Ive never seen this rat/equol experiment, if you could direct me towards it so I could read it for myself, that would help. From my understanding, if an affect is observed in an experiment, it only suggests a correlation, not causation or a direct cause and effect relationship. So I think we...

let me first define a couple of things so that we are all clear. Finasteride: Blocks conversion of Testosterone - DHT by inhibiting type 2 5-AR Dutasteride: Blocks conversion of Testosterone - DHT by inhibiting type 1 and 2 5-AR Equol: Deactivates (not sure how) DHT molecule, or...

Has anybody heard of any new news on equol? New studies or findings or anything?

perhaps you should read my post more carefully, not once did I mention levels of testosterone, i only talked about DHT, which is definately not testosterone, and when u take finasteride, it DOES decrease levels of DHT, THATS HOW IT WORKS. And muscle mass and increasing lipids in fat cells are opposing...

all you guys have to understand, when taking finasteride or dutasteride, you are altering your hormonal levels. You are making a drastic change to your body chemistry, with finasteride, you are removing 2/3 of you systemic DHT levels. And yes, DHT is responisible for prostate cancer and male pattern baldness, but we all forget that...

As far as I know, only 35% of the population can produce equol from soy. It may change a little depending on the amount of complex carbos people eat, which may aid in the digestion of daidzein into equol. So the best bet is to take pure equol, but I have know idea where to find that.

equol Equol could be promising, but only one-third of people have the ability to breakdown the soy isoflavones into equol. So equol needs to be isolated and put into a pill form to really see the effects of it. heres an interesting link http://my.webmd.com/content/article/84/98308.htm

Has anyone tried minsaw a. It contains 7% minoxidil, saw palmetto oil and retenoic acid. It sounds pretty good to me, but i wanna hear what other people have to say about it. http://www.antiaging-systems.com/iassto ... nsawa.html

mvpsoft maybe you heard of something called postmarket research. This is not antecdotal evidece. Perhaps youve heard of the drugs like phen phen or vioxx. These drugs went through clinical testing and were approved by the FDA. And lets see what they found in the post market research...umm...

Hairlosstalk, the reason there is no clinical data on all these DHT blockers is because they are naturally occuring compounds. Perhaps you are unaware, but you cannot hold a patent on a natural compound. Therefore, the drug companies have no interest in doing any type of study, clinical or...
