what is causing body hair/nose hair and ear hair if not androgens?
-
@wester130 cortisol
-
@risingfire how does a person reduce cortisol if things like dhea, coconut oil, sugar, thiamine etc are not reducing it effectively?
-
@wester130 increase sodium
-
@wester130 Preg, dht, thyroid, niacinamide, RU58841(never tried this). When I was really stressed out I saw an increase in nose and ear hair. DHT will likely increase more body hair though
-
what do you think of this idea?

Try emodin (cascara)

emodin
this feels like a deep set problem in my body, like something is totally failing, like my adrenal gland
but I am not sure
-
@Kvirion would this work?
-
@wester130 maybe you should try ammonia detox with calcium alpha keto glutarate and Ornithine

Yep, good point. Treat emodin as a temporary fix/mitigation, when you will continue to work on your general health and well-being...
These two products you suggested had too much shitty preservatives inside, etc.
I use this one below in tiny doses - I open the capsule and use only about 1/10 or 1/5 at once. You will need to experiment with your optimal dosage. Too much may make you run to the toilet
(Cascara is a natural source of emodin)
You can also try this one if available https://idealabs.ecwid.com/Lapodin-p70230379

@wester130 I can't believe I forgot about cypro. Give it a shot. I have no experience with Phosphatidylserine. I'd look deeper into.
-
@risingfire do you think low dose cabergoline could work?
it seems to reduce prolactin and cortisol
-
@wester130 I'm sure it would lower prolactin but I'm not sure about cortisol. What is your prolactin at?
-
i'm looking into a new idea of male PCOS
so taking things like spearmint, licorice and Vitex to solve it
thoughts?
-
@wester130 stay away from licorice, it’s supposed to be highly estrogenic besides messing with your cortisol. I think mint is fine if it suits you, and have heard good things about vitex, so i guess worth a try.

@wester130 cortisol
pregnenolone
idea labs cortiNon
cyproheptadine
sugar
-
@Hando-Jin those would not work for hyperandrogenism
-
@wester130 I don't know. You asked for things that lower cortisol, and all of those things do. You won't know without experimentation, I guess.
-
@16charactersitis I put a lot of time into this idea about two years ago. I don't think those things are really going to move the needle if you truly have the male version of PCOS. You would need DHT, progesterone, thyroid, vitamin D and cypro.
-
@wester130 is male PCOS characterized by hyperandrogenism? I think it would be quite the opposite.
