I already had pretty severe sexual dysfunction back then since quitting F.i.n. Hard to say. But yes if that much equol went systemic you wouldn't be thinking about sex I guarantee it.
Anyway I wanted to bring up something that worries me and it is what
@LouisSarkozy mentioned regarding his experience with cyclodextrin minoxidil.
He said he still had skin side effects (presumably talking about facial side effects) which implies that the stuff went systemic.
@FollicleGuardian when you say "it will prevent systemic sides, but not skin sides", I don't understand that. To me, something not being systemic means it stays in or around the follicle. If the minoxidil made it from the hair follicle all the way to his face, that means it was in the bloodstream, and once it's in the blood, it's everywhere.
I guess you can argue that a lesser percentage of the active ingredient will be distributed and maybe the concentration was too much and the hair follicle was oversaturated, by that point no more could attach to the DP and the rest just spills over systemically.
I still intend to try it, I'm just a bit wary of the hype since it sounds a little
too good.
