Hi Peggy,

Reishi inhibits DHT @ 80% in the prostate, that's Pharma strength. Less powerful is fatty acids, but still effective. Inhibiting the lutenizing hormone LH looks real promising imo, meaning turning off the androgen signal there (first) would prevent more androgens becoming active.

Black cohosh does that, (shuts of lutenizing hormone) but that also opens the conversion of more E1/E2 synthesis.

It's possible that cyclic adenosine monophosphate or cAMP (like in the supplement Forskollin) could also inhibit LH. But cAMP is also aromatase (3-4 fold).

(cAMP, cyclic AMP, or 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger important in many biological processes. cAMP is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and used for intracellular signal transduction in many different organisms, conveying the cAMP-dependent pathway.
