Senior Member blowdry Posted December 13, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 13, 2007 One of the leading Magazines "Life Extensions" who specialize in natural products as well as bioidentical hormone therapy says in their Jan/08 article about the Prostate: "Another enzyme involved in both benign and malignant prostate disease is 5-alpha reductase. The 5-alpha reductase enzyme converts beneficial testosterone into potent metabolite called DHT. DHT provokes a potent stimulatory effect on both benign and malignant prostate cells, The reason Life Extension has long recommended FDA approved drugs like Proscar and Avodart is that they inhibit 5-alpha reductase and thus lower DHT levels. Avodart is more effective than Proscar, but consumers can now purchase a much less expensive generic version of Proscar called Finasteride." This article mentions how plant lignans reduce DHT....etc..............fyi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
