I started eating fresh mint everyday thinking that is good anti-androgen and I actually love it better than tea. BUT I didn't know it was anti-estrogen?? Never actually read that before...
Speaking of other options, what do you think of saw palmetto? I just read about it yesterday and was not sure bc there are side effects. Has anyone taken it for a long time and saw progress with it?
Thank you for any info you could share!!!
Fresh mint should be just as good, maybe better, than mint tea. As long as it's spearmint or peppermint, other mints do not have any known effect at all.
As for saw palmetto, there are those on these forums who swears it works, but there are those it did absolutely nothing for, myself being one of the latter. For actual research, that remains just as inconclusive.
EDIT: I should mention something else about SP though, hannah's comment is the first I've ever heard of SP being anti-estrogenic. I am kind of curious about her source, because that's the ONE thing all the research actually agrees on: SP has NO effect on estrogen.
