In theory, everything that inhibits DHT can give you manboobs. It depends on dosage.
Do you think this + finasteride would be safe? I mean, people take finasteride and dutasteride together with no sides

We recently showed that S-equol is unique in that it not only possesses estrogenic properties but also is a potent antagonist of dihydrotestosterone in vivo, which has significant implications for the prevention of prostate cancer and other androgen-related conditions (22). We can find no other example of a molecule that is both a selective estrogen and an androgen antagonist
Competitive binding studies were used to assess the estrogenic properties of R- and S-equol. On the basis of the ability of R- and S-equol to compete with [3H]E2 in ER binding, their affinities for ERs translated in vitro were shown to be very different. S-equol showed the greatest affinity for ERβ (Ki = 0.73 ± 0.2 nmol/L), whereas its affinity for ERα (Ki = 6.41 ± 1 nmol/L) was relatively poor. In contrast, R-equol possessed only 4.8% and 25.0% as much relative binding affinity, respectively, for ERβ (Ki = 15.4 ± 1.3 nmol/L) and for ERα (Ki = 27.38 ± 3.8 nmol/L) as did S-equol. For comparison, 17β-estradiol binds ERα with a Kd of 0.13 nmol and ERβ with a Kd of 0.15 nmol. S-equol thus shows ER selectivity with a high affinity for ERβ, whereas R-equol can, at best, be classified as a weak estrogen.
Well this explains why I'm always fatigued and my CNS burns out insanely fast during workouts......

For f*** sakes can we just get something that doesn't f*** with our hormones........
At this rate Histogen Replicel and Tsuji cannot come fast enough. I just want hair that does not fall out! f***! God why can't my hair just be DHT resistant!!!
isn't gyno caused by high estrogen? S-equol lowers itSo if it might cause gyno it also will cause problems with erection, morning wood etc. Thats obvious.
Did you actually read what I wrote? Where did I mention Phytoestrogens? The guy in the publication was drinking 3 litres of soy milk a day, one cup of soy milk has around 30mg of soy isoflavone. If that isoflavone is mainly daidzein and you have the bacteria present, then you're going to be generating shitloads of S-Equol and decimating any DHT in your body and we know about the side affects possible from finasteride and dutasteride.
So no, it's not BS and not faulty reasoning as I never said eating soy will give you man boobs.
I agree with this line of thinking. Aren't women extremely sensitive to DHT inhibitors - finasteride's warning labels state they can't even touch the pills when pregnant. If that's the case I would think the fact that it's been used on women and children with AA is an indicator it should be fairly safe.There's no way this will have sides like finasteride, it was used on women and children so obviously it doesn't affect hormones nearly as much as finasteride.
On a side note anyone here know when those Italians are going to be done making their brotzu lotion? I'm dying to know if this actually works
Did you watch the video? ISOFLAVONES ARE CONCENTRATED PHYTOESTROGENS. Put that in caps and bold so you understand.
Watch the video, it addresses the soy milk and isoflavone controversy as well, with plenty of scientific sources. 3 litres of soy milk equates to about the amount of isoflavones in a half can of soy beans. It's mostly water. Soy isoflavones do not affect your hormones as they are plant estrogens which equate to incredibly weak estrogen LIKE compounds. If you would like to ingest mammalian estrogens, I suggest you drink cow's milk (notice there is no estrogen scare over cow milk despite it having lots of estrogen).
So again, soy does not affect your hormones. It's all been debunked countless times. That one study that people site is a single case and they never even determined if the soy was what gave him breasts. Yet it is the single study that has spawned this completely silly and paranoid campaign against soy.

A lot of Asians produce a lot of equol, yet not many Asian boys are born without penises.
So different sides than finasteride/dutasteride.
If you have been producing s-equol from a young age it is likely that your body would start to generate a tolerance to it.
Regardless this is topical and the amount specified in the formula is 7mg to make a months worth of lotion. That works to around 0.25mg per application with a fraction of that amount being absorbed into the skin let alone any going systemic. So no, for a topical application you are not going to get any finasteride/dutasteride side affects.
