After doing some research I found out that beta sitosterol (a plant sterol found in certain foods and herbs) is a 5-AR inhibitor and can lower DHT. Sounds like it could be good for NBE especially for those who want to block DHT. Instead of taking anti-androgenic herbs, one could simply take beta-sitosterol pills, I suppose (or you could just take a phytoestrogen that contains it, like aguaje or pueraria mirifica). I'm wondering though if beta-sitosterol has any effect on estrogen? Some sources claim that it boosts estrogen but there seems to be conflicting info. Anyone know more about beta sitosterol and has anyone taken it?
