[Lotus]

Lotus, isn't WP's prime usage to stop T production.

Not trying to answer for Lotus (I am not qualified to do that!), but I believe WP does not stop T production but rather promotes aromatization of T which converts it into E. Or something like that.

Your right my choice of words were wrong, is it correct to say it ties up your Free T, so leaves less for conversion to DHT. My thoughts are, do you want to cycle an AA ??. The PM I could see ( I cycled my own - 5 days off every 5 weeks )

Paeonia lactiflora decreases testosterone production by inhibiting the conversion of delta 4-androstenedione to testosterone. In the ovaries WP stimulates aromatase activity to promote estradiol synthesis. WP inhibits DHT in skin (via sebum production by the sebaceous glands).

PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling is mediated by Paeoniflorin (WP). This is quite significant news btw, I'll have to explain in another thread.
