Hi Ceci,

It's funny I have iron on my mind, lol. I was just remembering that fenugreek interfere's with the absorption of iron, so be careful if you are anemic. Ok sorry, just had to get that down, white tea contains 3x more anti-oxidants then green tea, so that makes it one of the healthiest teas, ok I'm gonna get all techno here so here it goes, first nobody really talks about green tea because there's so much misinformation out there about it. Researchers confirmed that green and white tea increases SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) which prevents T into converting to DHT. Let me state that's my opinion based on reports and literature out there, and conversely you'll find opposing reports and literature.

But why I think white tea is a more effective T blocker is from those same reports,

White and green tea suppress testosterone glucuronidation via UGT2B17 enzyme inhibition.
Inhibition of UGT2B17 may raise circulating levels of testosterone.
Inhibition of UGT2B17 may alter the T/E ratio.


Spearmint demonstrated significant reductions in free and total testosterone levels and increases in luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations. These alterations are consistent with an improvement in PCOS. Trials have found that peppermint and spearmint teas inhibit the absorption of dietary minerals such as iron. For those who need extra iron, it’s obviously a harmful interaction. But most men and post menopausal women do not need additional iron and in fact, reducing iron levels may be advantageous.

Thanks for you reply. Recently I´ve learnt that FG interfere with calcium absorption (btw you posted the link http://www.anagen.net/fenuin.htm ) I didn´t know that there was an iron absorption problem with FG too. It's really disappointing but thanks for telling us.
For the other hand I´m very glad about white tea as a T blocker !

PS: you´re great Smile

Thank you so much Ceci, Big Grin

Don't to be too bummed, supplementing with iron is possible, I'll give ya another fenugreek info site for you to see the statement about iron, (http://store.newwayherbs.com/fenugreek-s...m-p41.aspx (Look towards the bottom of the page)

Other benefits of white tea


The process of skin ageing has been divided into two categories: Intrinsic and extrinsic ageing.

Intrinsic skin ageing or natural ageing is caused by changes in elasticity of the skin over time.

Extrinsic skin ageing is predominately a result of exposure to solar radiation (photoageing).

According to a 2009 study conducted by Kingston University in London, scientists explored the skin-protecting effects of 21 different extracts of plants and herbs (including burdock root, green
tea, and lavender).

A number of the studied extracts (such as bladderwrack, green tea, rose, and pomegranate) were found to fight the breakdown of collagen and elastin (a protein that supports skin's elasticity and plays a role in the prevention of sagging).

However, white tea outperformed all the other extracts in the study.

Anti-elastase activities were observed for nine of the extracts with inhibitory activity in the following order:

white tea (~89%)
cleavers (~58%)
burdock root (~51%)
bladderwrack (~50%)
anise and angelica (~32%)

Anti-collagenase activities were exhibited by sixteen plants of which the highest activity was seen in:

white tea (~87%)
green tea (~47%)
rose tincture (~41%)
lavender (~31%).

Nine plant extracts had activities against both elastase (E) and collagenase © and were ranked in the order of:

white tea (E:89%, C:87%)
bladderwrack (E:50%, C:25%)
cleavers (E:58%, C:7%)
rose tincture (E:22%, C:41%)
green tea (E:10%: C:47%)

I liked the part where it say: "MAY interfere" ( like a possibility but not a guarantee Tongue )

Regarding white tea I drink it now and then, but after reading its remarkable benefits I will add it everyday Smile

So getting back to the herbs, it makes sense to have these combinations as options, here's what I mean:


Option #1

PM - (estrogenic)

Fish oil-(pro-hormone, growth hormone/HGH)

Spearmint-(anti-androgen)

PABA-(Potentiator, increases the effectiveness)

Peony root (Pro-Aromatase, converts T to E)


-Of course all is dose dependent-


I'll do a few more for later including Hops, FG, BO, and even a PC option.
