S-equol again
From a forum member inquiring about this product:
http://www.proequol.com/
I was wondering what would be the benefits of reducing DHT by this remedy or by Finasteride. What are the differences?
I think it would only benefit is the reduction of DHT is that by other methods, to be free of side effects, no?
If a simple reduction as Finasteride does not see many advantages.
The answer: "Hello Julio,
I wanted to provide you with some follow-up information. I was notified by my associate that you may be posting on Hair Loss Talk forums about Proequol. We monitor these forums because they generally help drive a lot of traffic to our website. We cannot post on any of the hair loss websites because of the forum rules about promoting products.
To clear up some of the discussion about Proequol and equol supplements:
Any equol supplement, such as Pharmavite, would be unlikely to be potent enough to have a sufficient levels of equol, in vivo, to fully mitigate DHT. Through our years of studies, we have determined that 100 ng/ml of unbound equol in blood plasma is the minimum level needed to mitigate DHT. By our estimates (based on urine levels of equol), Pharmavite may only provide 1/12th of those blood levels because not all of the equol contained in the capsule/tablet will be fully absorbed into the bloodstream. Additionally, their product is marketed towards menopausal woman, and the blood levels required there are likely not as high as they are for mitigating DHT.
The moral here is that metabolizing equol in the intestines is the most effective way to produce and more importantly, absorb equol into the body. In that respect, any supplement containing synthesized equol cannot compete with Proequol's equol output.
Finally, some of the results of our studies cannot be made public because Proequol is being marketed as a nutritional supplement. Only pharmaceuticals can make direct effectiveness claims. However, Proequol is not a pharmaceutical and we must market the product within legal limits.
Thank you,

Thoughts? anyone in the US willing to give this a go? Its DHT binder not 5ar inhibitor in theory, Cannot be shipped overseas at present

It will most likely work but the price of $30/month is way too low...equol is actually expensive to produce and somehow they're selling that much for that cheap. Something is fishy.

So assuming this works, whats the difference between this and fin or dut?
Doesn't it essentially do the same thing or...?

fin/dut inhibits 5AR which is responsible for other functions besides DHT... equol only inhibits DHT.

Synthesized equol may very well be expensive to produce. Proequol facilitates the production of equol in the intestines, where it can be better absorbed.

uhm are you talking about taking PREBIOTICS in order to make your body naturally produce equol? Because that wouldn't work for many people

What were people's experience(s) here with the product Densiti? Seems Proequol is an updated version, made by the same company.
-
Wasnt Equol supposed to not reduce DHT at all, but just bind to it and prevent it from doing its thing?
Atleast that was the hype when Folexen was around
-
I was taking bacillus coagulans and soy isoflavones a couple of months ago, and recently started up again, in the hopes of producing equol... But I have no idea how to tell if it's actually working for that purpose. I take fin as well, but I wouldn't mind being able to lower the dosage and have equol fill in the gap, if that's even possible.
