You said before that you think β-Sitosterol might not be 5a-reductase inhibitor. Why?
I think you also said hops has 10-20 times as much xanthohumol as 8-pn. I guess that explains why you don't like it as a phytoestrogen topical. I do still wonder how much 8-pn it contains total. I still don't get why it caused swelling for me, but I haven't ruled out the possibility that it was coincidence. I only used it topically for 2 days because it smelled worse than any other topical I have ever tried.
