[QUOTE="ERO, post: 34085, member: 1210"] I have read that Progesterone is a known inhibitor of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). I have taken it in the past and it did seem to have the effect of reducing my already very low libido. Now that is a sample size of one and nothing to hang your hat on to be sure. But at the same time, Progesterone antagonizes estrogen and some guys have used it to help with 'man boobs' [URL="http://chestsculpting.com/progesterone-for-men-the-missing-link-in-man-boob-reduction/"]according to a few sites that I have found[/URL], including this one. [URL="http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2005/11/aas/page-01"]Pregnenolone[/URL] on the other hand doesn't have that effect (not that I can find in any studies that I have found, anyway) and I like it for its relaxing and anti-anxiety effects. I will be curious to what Dr. Saya recommends as well! [/QUOTE]
