resveratrol inhibits androgen precursors so resveratrol has an estrogenic effect and decreases DHEA
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
resveratrol inhibits androgen precursors so resveratrol has an estrogenic effect and decreases DHEA
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

resveratrol well it also happens to be estrogenic so it's gonna decrease your antigen precursors right so that's not a good thing for men or women if we're inhibiting DHEA and androgen precursors and it's gonna lower your testosterone right
resveratrol decreases androgen precursors in humans not a very good thing i'm going to talk more about resveratrol in detail later in this podcast you do not want your res you do not want your antigen precursors to be lowered which is your dhea and your testosterone by taking a xenoestrogen like resveratrol
if you do super high doses of resveratrol as you're trying to do in clinical studies or if you do a supplement it can have those other negative effects i mentioned including worsening of metabolic function and decreased androgen precursors
here's one resveratrol reduces the levels of circulating androgen precursors but has no effect on testosterone dht psa levels or prostate volume well you don't want to decrease the levels of circulating androgen in humans they were doing this to see if it would improve prostate outcomes and it doesn't but it will decrease your dha and dhea eaf well and anderstein dione this is not a good thing you do not want resveratrol to decrease your hormonal precursors that's going to decrease your antigens bad news
resveratrol decreased androgen precursors anderstein dione dhea and dhes and that's a bad thing
some of the concern that i have around resveratrol is that it it is acting as an endocrine disruptor and it this this is suggested by this prostate cancer trial — in which it decreased androgen precursors
like resveratrol for instance interesting data with resveratrol depleting androgen precursors like okay um maybe that's not a good one to take long term
so significant studies with resveratrol showing that it lowers levels of male hormones lowers androgens in men
