Equol Free Trial?

[cmudave]

Any one know anything about this stuff? I've read a lot of good things.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equol

And I found a website that offers a free trial, If there are any brave souls who want to try it out.

Anyone else have any other info about this stuff?

Just use finasteride, which accomplishes essentially the same thing as equol.

hmm...so this stuff does actually work? How is the pricing compared to finasteride, more or less expensive? if its the same price or even a little more than finasteride wouldn't it be a better route to go since its all natural and its a topical with no sides?

With the availability of Proscar (not to mention the availability of cheap generic finasteride from overseas) and the prospect of shutting down DHT for the price of only maybe a couple quarters per day, do you really think that you could do better by buying a risky, experimental nutritional supplement which claims to have enough equol in it to have a similar effect? Are you a gambling man? :wink:

Do you trust their claims?

will a product that stops dht from attaching to the receptors but does not stop it from being created, have the same side effects as something like finasteride?

For obvious reasons, I'd be a bit more willing to believe that it might have fewer side-effects than dutasteride, but I'd have to see some serious evidence for it before I'd believe that it has fewer side-effects than finasteride.
