I have to say that is the topic about which effective information is most lacking. What little expertise I have suggests that licorice is very effective as an anti-androgen. I take that as verified by mainstream sites like Web Md telling you not to take it if you have erectile disfunction. Its problem is that it has harmful side effects, and you should not stay on it for more than a month. Still, you can rotate from Licorice to a combination of other less effective anti androgens-I do use Red Reishi, Vitex and Saw Palmetto when off licorice.
I would hesitate to say I am a big success, but I can say that I have seen surprising (to me, at least) growth in 4 months, for an old girl. I have added 2 inches in bustline since September, 2014 using this basic program with PM and bio identical estrogen creams.
I do hate how opaque this market is, but that is the price of it being a "food" versus a "drug."

2x a day for mild androgen expression (1 dropper full each)
3x a day for excess DHT expression, considering how many target sites DHT affects, (which is about a nearly 100% conversion in some tissues).

Ah, no worries.
it took me a while to realize that estrogens and androgens compete inside the same receptor cell (called the cytoplasm). Even more confusing is that sometimes an androgen will bind to its receptor but not get activated, scientist are unsure why.
But the affinity is towards estradiol, for the most part these hormones must be in the free form for synthesis (you remember the 2% that gets delivered from SHBG/albumin).
And new research has determined there's a few more androgens, although I won't confuse you with them just yet lol.
