Green tea and red reishi lower dht. Mints lower free testosterone, but there is nothing on it lowering dht, there is just an implication that it could lower hair problems. I've also heard before, green tea gets rid of body hair. Pygeum and nettle might also do it too. I think dht and daidzein are the main culprits rather than other androgens for body hair.

but green tea's caffeine might work against NBE. Green tea is an ingredient in herbal reduction, and it is general belief that it works against NBE.
Chromium downregulates Estrogen receptors, while chromium is a dietary need, too much then it becomes a carcinogen.
The information about receptor regulation are about breast cancer cells, but it is relevant because they sensitize these receptors so cancer fighting drugs can bind to cells then be more effective. (explained in many of the sources) It is extremely rare, if not unavailable to find a study on chemicals' regulation effects on healthy cells. Other research I look at is about healthy cells, and herbs that inhibit cancer.
PR= progesterone receptor
ER= estrogen receptor
ER-alpha (ER-α) and PRB are found in the breast
