    So I ended up buying some equelle. The problem is that they are not capsules of powder, more like tablets with some kind of coating, so I don't know how to go about dissolving them to create a topical. Does anyone have any advice? Here are the ingredients:



    Nutrition Component

    Per tablet (0.66 g)
    Energy: 2.86 kcal, protein: 0–0.3 g, fat: 0–0.2 g, carbohydrates: 0.375 g, sodium: 0–2 mg, S-equol: 2.5 mg, Soy isoflavones(aglycone): 1.6mg

    Ingredients

    Fermented soy germ, glucose, cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), colorings (titanium oxide, caramel), talc, calcium stearate

    S-equol right now still suffers the problems of saw palmetto and countless other supplements that should help with mpb. Reliable suppliers at a reasonable price for one, but more importantly what is the dose to get results for MPB? Does it even work like people theorycraft it should by binding to Dht. Its often hard to theory craft in medicine because so little is understood. It could takes grams of the stuff to get results for MPB who really knows
    It just lacks evidence. Does anyone have blood tests showing DHT levels dropping significantly before/after s-equol?

    Most of these studies were in rats. I would also feel a bit better if they had a study in humans showing some dose of equol actually did anything for MPB instead of just assuming because it lowers DHT it will have same effect on MPB. It very well might, but we need to see a little more IMO before proclaiming equol as the fin replacement. Not a lot of places sell equol either otherwise im sure lots of people would on it with tests hopefully on DHT levels
