I have been avoiding broccoli for many months now but this study concludes that it has no affect on DHT.

I always feel something from broccoli, sometimes good sometimes bad. Pretty sure it blocks the AR, so it has some anti androgenic effect even when it doesn’t directly lower DHT.

#3

It contains DIM and I3C, and sulphuraphane.

I’ve been eating broccoli almost everyday now, I think I feel better after eating broccoli to be honest, isn’t broccoli a natural aromatase inhibitor?
