How come we don’t often hear about PFS from more natural stuff?

I know that Finasterade and Dutasteride cause PFS in people at a significant rate, and that stinks.

However I also know a few people have mentioned even Saw Palmetto causing PFS as well, after stopping it.

My question is, what about other things that inhibit DHT pretty strongly?

A good example is Astaxanthin. It’s fairly strong at inhibiting DHT.

Not sure how strong but definetely strong enough to make my erection a solid fifty percent less strong and also even causing depression.

I started taking it two months ago at about 8 mg per day, and noticed a few days ago (“why do my erections suck and I’m noticeably depressed?”)

Then I looked it up and my heart sank a bit…. Other people seem to have my symptoms while taking it

Turns out it inhibits DHT and these are common sides with it…. Now I’m afraid to come off it….

Anyone ever experiences PFS after stopping Astaxanthin?

Why don’t manufacturers put warnings about these types of sides?

So annoying….

Yep,

I’m a natural PFS sufferer I took saw palmetto and all other 5ARis in natural gym supplements ect,

They really should ban all that shit Im surprised it’s sold so freely in natural Test boosters at health stores and even for things like BPH … the Natural approach bullshit even a Dr prescribed that shit to me when I was battling with pain and inflammation in bladder & prostate which was from Saw palmetto and natural 5ais in the beginning anyway so that Stinging nettle only made things worse. It’s just awareness I think for now and education. FDA seems like a joke, science is slow. Lots of people will get hurt before they put warnings on these medicines. it’s terrible.

@Taw was afflicted via saw as well, and apparently recovered eventually. Maybe he’ll chime in here? Jim
