There are a couple of threads on the forum about pumpkin seed oil but I haven't read about anyone taking it recently. There aren't many reviews. I'm interested in taking it (NaturalLady
and HoneyDew too!). Is there anyone who has taken it or is currently taking it to lower DHT? Also, what is the substance in PSO that lowers DHT?
I keep coming across articles stating that PSO increases testosterone which is worrying. PSO does lower 5- Alpha Reductase Activity (and DHT) as indicated also in this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017725/ but if it increases testosterone too....I'm confused. Lower DHT should mean less unwanted hairs, less oily skin but wouldn't higher testosterone bring about more hairs and oiliness/acne?? Not even sure if PSO does increase testosterone because online articles aren't exactly always reliable. What are your thoughts?
