Thanks!
Interesting you should ask inflammo... I just recieved my
Smoky Mtn Naturals Progesto-Life from Amazon, and started using it today. Going to try 1 week on 3 off.
I was using
Source Naturals PC.
The Smky Mtn is much better smelling, wild yam based bio identical micronized progesterone. I like the formulation; easier to spread, not greasy, etc.
I wasn't having any problems with the Source Naturals, but I'm hoping to get more out of the Smoky Mtn brand; it seems to be the go to brand for thr boob crew here... I already like it better!

Yeah lol, I couldn't take smelling like horseradish from SN.
personally, I think the smoky brand has less GABA (excitatory from progesterone) effect than SN. Great job on the results Jami.

Back for more on DHT... see
above.
This is what I was looking for:
DHT thread, post 79
Inhibit DHT in the liver. (reishi inhibits serum DHT @ 80%) dutas @93%, finasteride @70% and saw palmetto inhibits DHT @ 32% (combo's possible).
Inhibit adrenal DHT (calmodulin -via the calcium/calmodulin/CaMK pathway) (spiro or licorice root)
I did have licorice root, and still do have reishi in my program... maybe need to revisit licorice, and my reishi dosage.
I also totally forgot about cimetidine, which has anti androgen properties.
So drop flax, add EPO, add (back) licorice, increase(?) Reishi at least frequency.
Sigh, drop 1 and add 2.5...

Hey Jamie, I'm a bit confused. When you mention the percentages, at what dosages are they? I'm currently taking 1 mg finasteride a day and also i have some reishi mushroom extract of 376 mg in 2 tablets/day. I haven't been taking the reishi though.

Here:
DHT thread, post 79
Which is Lotus self quoting here
project X post 2617
So I think I have to defer to Lotus on source and interpretation of those numbers.
BTW: Spanky had some interesting articles for Reishi here:
Anti-Androgens, post 333
