Soybean a Powerful DHT Inhibitor

It acts  the same mechanism as Propecia and Avodart, but in a way that is much more cost effective and virtually side effect free. In fact there is evidence indicating that soy isoflavones, despite being phytoestrogens, may have aromatase inhibiting properties that would promote reductions in bodyfat and increases in libido, the exact opposite of side effects reported with Propecia and Avodart. Moreover, the source of isoflavones (soy milk and soy protein) used the studies was only dietary and of a much lower potency than one would get using a concentrated isoflavone compound, which would likely yield even far more significant reductions in DHT . The reported reductions in DHT were also not dependent upon one being genetically able to produce and utilize Equol, which some evidence suggest may limited to an Asian subset of the human population. In light of this data, soy isoflavones may be the answer for those looking for a side effect free alternative to Propecia, or for those looking to significantly enhance the efficacy of their existing treatment regimes. Studies suggest that soy’s effects on health and hair are enhanced further when combined with green tea.
Several studies have suggested that soybean intake is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. However, the mechanism of prostate cancer prevention by soybeans remains unclear. Because prostate cancer is reported to have an association with an increased level of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and soybean isoflavones are known to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase, which is involved in the conversion of testosterone to DHT, the effects of soybean extract and isoflavones on the plasma levels of male sex hormones were investigated using male rats. In Experiment  Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets with and without soy flour; in Experiment II, rats were fed diets containing 2% soy methanol extract or 0.2% semipurified isoflavones or a control diet. The study showed a reduction of plasma DHT along with an increase in total plasma androgen in rats fed soy flour or semipurified isoflavones for 1 wk. These results suggest that soy isoflavone intake may reduce plasma DHT level. See here see here the research
