[QUOTE="ResearchIt, post: 222524, member: 43366"] This article above made me feel better about it's interaction with DHT: [I]Pygeum[/I] inhibits 5 -reductase and binding of [I]dihydrotestosterone[/I] to androgen receptors, although the inhibition is [I]minimal[/I] and not clinically significant. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/406935[/URL] Here is another article with some more detail about Pygeum's active ingredients and their effects: Chemical analysis and pharmacological studies indicate the lipophilic extract of pygeum bark has three categories of active constituents: 1) Phytosterols, including [URL='https://www.peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/hn-2806008#hn-2806008-uses']beta-sitosterol[/URL], have anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with the formation of hormone-like substances in the body (prostaglandins) that tend to accumulate in the prostate of men with [URL='https://www.peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/hn-1169004#hn-1169004-need-to-know']benign prostatic hyperplasia[/URL] (BPH); 2) pentacyclic terpenes have an anti-[URL='https://www.peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/hn-1210002#hn-1210002-need-to-know']edema[/URL], or decongesting, effect; 3) ferulic esters indirectly control testosterone activity in the prostate, which may reduce the risk of BPH. While these effects have been shown in test tube studies, human studies are still needed to confirm these effects in the body. Pygeum alone has been shown in some double-blind trials to help men with BPH by improving urinary flow and other symptoms of BPH. It has also been used successfully in combination with [URL='https://www.peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/hn-2135002#hn-2135002-uses']nettle[/URL] root to treat BPH. Long-term BPH studies (six months or greater) on pygeum are lacking, however. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.peacehealth.org/medical-topics/id/hn-2152003#hn-2152003-how-it-works[/URL] [/QUOTE]
