    Default S-Equol in Phase 2 for BPH

    http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00962390

    Just wanted to gauge peoples opinion on this. It's promising I think.

    However, I can't find any results....

    dude... it's not that big pharma does not BELIEVE in equol it's just that it's not INTERESTED in it. Whatever androgen blocking crap they're selling now still makes billions plus you can't patent equol so there's that

    Just seeing the results of this study on the effect of DHT will be interesting regardless of whether anyone actually goes on to produce it for BPH or MPB

    not sure what those people are trying to prove... we already know that it's very effective at blocking DHT.

    Additionally, from pilot data, serum 5α-DHT levels significantly decreased by 10 to 15% in men (50 to 60 years of age) and 20 to 26% in postmenopausal women (60 to 65 years of age) when an equol oral dose of 3 mg per day was administered (without side effects), suggesting that equol effectively binds and/or alters 5α-DHT levels.
    3mg DAILY reduces your DHT by 10-15%.... you can only assume that 10mg daily will reduce much more

    Interesting 2020... didn't think it was as high as that for 3mg!

    Clinical trials are expensive though, I would assume if they are going through all that they must plan to get some new information or doing something with it, doesn't make sense for them to spend all that time and money going through trials for NOTHING! lol

    Its really interesting this S-equol...but i have a stupid question maybe...
    For example, we know that Saw Palmetto blocks DHT in the body and prostate but is not a good treatment for hair loss...
    Why S-equol, that we know blocks DHT will be better than Saw Palmetto or another herbs that bolck DHT but are not good for the hair loss?
    Thank you !!!
