Hey guys!
I'm going to start drinking green tea to try and decrease my androgen levels (I believe green tea is an anti-androgen) but I'm not sure how strong it actually is... Does anyone know how much green tea (preferably how much tea bags) I would have to consume to notice any changes in sebum production or hair growth? The only way I can consume it is through drinking it so please don't recommend supplements.
Thank you.
I thought it was peppermint tea that contained anti-androgens? Green tea's really good for your health generally as it has loads of anti-oxidants in it but it did nothing for my skin when I tried drinking it regularly, although to be fair I wasn't drinking particularly high quantities of it.
i find green tea the best at the moment for topical use. i sometimes drink it but, i think it has caffein so i'll not abuse it.
if you haven't, check wikipedia on anti-androgens, i took many of those herbs/teas. BUT again i don't agree with antiandronges. i agree only with anti-DHT.

Funnily enough I actually have some peppermint! I'm going to drink a full mug at night and a full mug in the morning and bear the taste, but I'm not sure if this will be enough?
I've been told by a few people that green tea increase the change of prostate cancer. Is that true?

I have read that green tea increases the skin production of DHT and i 've been avoiding it though i love it.. i had occassionally some black tea ("some".. well, 1/2 L of lipton tea ) but i saw no effect on my skin, perhaps because of spiro - which is precisely the reason why i won't drink that much tea again when i am outdoors. Had to visit the toilet every 2 hours at most
