The True Effects of DHT: What Are They?

[Hooligangsta Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Hooligangsta]

I have been searching the forum a bit, and stumble open the term DHT. I've been trying to understand its effect and the way it works, however information seems to contradict. Mainly, I wanted to begin drinking green tea, but am I afraid of how it will affect my DHT levels.

Does increasing testosterone levels increase your levels of DHT?
Is DHT bad for you? Does an increase in DHT lead to hair loss?
Does DHT help with PE gains? If so, how does it help.
If DHT is bad for you, is there anyway to reduce it. And does reducing your DHT levels negatively affect your health?
Does applying DHT topically on your penis affect your overall body's DHT levels?

I have so many questions about DHT and I am very scared to eat/drink anything that would affect my DHT levels because DHT and hair loss are linked. I love my hair WAY too much to take any risk. I wish the experts here can help clear up my concerns about DHT. Thank you!

LOL. To calm your immediate concern, don't worry about food. LOL. Nothing natural you eat is going to have any significant impact on your DHT levels. Either is a tea, or a rice or a fish, NO. Is not going to change your body composition from DHT variations. Is like people who think they can buy over the counter homeopathic growth hormone and grow like a bodybuilder. It doesn't exist. Is a scam. Or people who think that taking Tribulus is going to make them grow like bodybuilders. Another scam. So eat whatever you want.

To research scientific information about DHT, google will be your best friend. Google Dihydrotestosterone.

What Jackxxx said isn't true.

Poison oak is very natural, but please do not start eating it.
A 40 foot drop is also natural. You can't eat it... but you get what I'm saying.

I'm reading a website right now (found at The Real Reason Men Lose Their Hair), written by a "doctor wong," who said that it does infact lead to hair loss.

It says that DHT is a form of estrogen, which causes a hormonal imbalance that can lead to hair loss, cancer, and other things.

King Pole's thread https://www.pegym.com/forums/pe-theo...ne-levels.html said that he was taking supplement form. Are those any different from drinking green tea on a regular basis?

I don't know, Hooligangsta. I'm gong to look into it summore.

Kp recomends large amounts of green tea he talks of 10 plus cups a day.

I don't want to say KP is wrong, or uninformed. But doing my own personal research has led me (and others) to conflicting results for what green tea does.

Wiki gives a good explanation of DHT.

Hey Einstein show me a medical study showing how much DHT is raised by eating grass or drinking tea. This is about raising it, not about the side effects of high DHT.

Hey, the "Doctor Wong" ... is he credible? I've noticed that since drinking green tea, my voice changes from manly, to sort of thin voice. Almost every day. Just wondering lol.

Too much testosterone is bad for the prostate, and green tea helps the prostate because it increases estrogen while lowering testosterone? I'll stop blabbling, all these studies are confusing and seem to contradict eachother. *Sips his green tea*

Why would anyone want to raise levels of a substance in their bodies if it harms them?

No, doctor wong is not a credible source. There's nothing there proving he's a doctor. Maybe in the About Us page? I didn't check it. Also, it's a .com website. I could never use that in a university paper.

So you couldn't even answer the thread and instead to relieve your human frustration you gave me bad rep for calling you Einstein? That shows that calling you Einstein would be an insult for him.

I call you out again. You are wrong. What I said is true. You don't have the most minimum idea of what you're talking about. If you have any medical study to disprove, post it Mr. Charles Darwin. If not, STFU.

If you're not reading the thread, then do not reply non-sense comments. Nobody wants to raise their DHT. The OP was asking about the risks of high DHT from tea or other things which does not exist. A tea WILL NOT raise DHT to any significant amount that could cause a noticeable secondary effect in the body. Is like people who think that by doing squats, promote testosterone production to levels similar to the use of anabolic steroids. That's a misconception. It doesn't exist.
