Guest Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I've been using Finasteride and Minoxidil for years, somewhat successfully, but it's interesting to see that Soy products such as Soy milk and Tofu also block DHT as well as having other health benefits.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi Brian, I haven't checked into it or done any research on it. Soy products are generally good for you...but if you are looking for any advice, I would say this...in regards to hairloss...do NOT use soy products or any other product as a REPLACEMENT for Propecia and Minox. But instead, if you want to try another product, use it as gravy. You probably know all this...but for other readers of this post, it's important that they see this.

Senior Member Robert_ Posted November 8, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2006 I'm not surprised that soy products that contain genistein can reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT, especially since recent studies have proven that soy products can actually lower testosterone overall in men. While I don't like the idea of lowering my testosterone by eating soy, or eating soy products at all, for that matter (personal preference, of course) I can see the appeal. However, I would agree with Bill and suggest that you supplement your DHT-inhibitors with soy, not replace them. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member laughter's medicine Posted November 11, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2006 After brief reading it appears the easiest way to try out and benefit from soy without the taste would be to take a tablet of genistein-rich soy isoflavones. Generate a search for genistein and you will find a number of sites that sell the product. Smiling & laughing does wonders for the soul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
