"MPP consumption significantly decreased . . . serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations"

Seems like a pretty bad side reaction. I wonder if Graminex or some other pollen supplement would have the BPH benefit without reducing testosterone.

We don’t need DHT after puberty, and that is the most problematic form of testosterone.

The problem with BPH is that all forms of testosterone are elevated beyond what is healthy, but free testosterone is not.

Selective biological functions of testosterone versus DHT in male puberty

Testosterone
Spermatogenesis and fertility
Male musculoskeletal development
Voice deepening Scalp temporal recession and pattern hair loss
Increased sebum production and acne
Increased sex drive and erections

Dihydrotestosterone
Prostate enlargement and prostate cancer risk
Facial, axillary, pubic, and body hair growth
Scalp temporal recession and pattern hair loss

I wonder how this would impact women with PCOS in dealing with the androgens
