hey there.

I'm on Depo Provera progesterone only birth control Shot.
as well as Evening primrose oil (aromatase booster) 3x/daily + multi vits & fish oil.

okay so my confusion lies here!!!!

I want something to inhibit DHT, but I've read things like spearmint and saw palmetto, green tea, can get in the way of bc and/or estrogen.

since my bc is only PROgesterone, I'm assuming it won't????
i really don't wana get preggo right now lol...

i just want an herb or SOMETHING that will inhibit DHT & not reduce my bc.

i take evening primrose oil as an aromatase booster, and may start PM soon, although i know its estrogenic .....

SOMEONE please give me some insight. I'm so stuck & all my research is contradicting each other =,[[

45, have you considered Pumpkin Seed Oil?,

Pumpkin Seed Oil: Has been demonstrated to inhibit DHT formation through the inhibitory effect on 5-alpha-reductase activity. Pumpkin seed oil breaks down DHT via the liver.

Fatty acid profile of Pure Pumpkin Seed Oil: Linoleic Acid (Parent Omega 6) 64.2% Oleic Acid (Omega 9) 11.3% Palmitic Acid (saturated) 14.6% Stearic Acid (saturated) 9.9% -

Also as a galactagogue, increases mother’s milk production.

I have more info if you're interested.

And consider Phytosterols, they inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, and block the production of DHT. You can obtain phytosterols through food sources, including wheat germ, sesame oil, corn oil, canola oil, peanuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, brussels sprouts, olive oil and rye bread.

thank you so much. I will get pumpkin seed oil asap. can i use it topically, or do i just consume it & cook with it??

i would LOVE more information, Lotus.
i bought wheat germ and put it in my oatmeal & cereal, i eat a lot of peanut butter =]] & when i eat eggs, i use olive oil. i will look into rye bread (=

thanks again. look forward to hearing more info from you =D
