Green tea on DHT/T. Decreases or increases?

[ndos]

Was researching a lot about green tea recently. Studies I found:

Study 1 – green tea extract in mice​

Giving mice green tea led to a 73.8% and 194% increase in testosterone and DHT respectively (. Black tea lowered DHT. Combining soy with green tea seems to lower T and DHT more than soy alone.

Study 2 – Topical EGCG on DHT in mice​

In this study, they injected mice with testosterone to induce hair loss. Then the researchers applied EGCG topically on some of the mice.


Although the EGCG prevented hair loss, it didn’t lower testosterone or DHT.

Summary/TLDR:
It’s unlikely that green tea consumption lowers DHT.

It might still be helpful against hair loss, but not via lowering DHT.

The main mechanism of action is by potentially lowering androgen receptors (increased by androgen injections) specifically in the scalp (and prostate as well). There isn’t evidence that it decreases androgen receptors in the muscle, brain, penis, etc, so the effects might be specific to the scalp and prostate under pathological conditions.


Green tea prevents hair loss and promotes hair regrowth by lowering oxidative stress, promoting blood flow, inducing proliferation and exerting anti-apoptotic effects in hair follicles.

Better to drink green tea when you have full head of hair than blast REAL drugs (fin, dut, ru) when you're norwood 2.
Greet tea = leanmaxxing, healthmaxxing etc.
Worth to drink.
Also how nice it impact brain, its good when you need to focus on something.

Drink green tea and smoke at the same time, and you'll be a mogger

by lowering oxidative stress

It'll increase it, if anything.

promoting blood flow

Because it's toxic, so the body pumps blood faster to get rid of it.

if its toxic then why it taste good

might be toxic becaus of fluoride content of leafs, make sure to choose fluoride-free brand

increases DHT and prevents hair loss at the same time? I thought that higher DHT causes hair loss

High prolactin/balding gene causes it
