Just a reminder to drink your green tea daily

[cosmo gene]

Prepare in advance a pot of green tea with two tea bags, pour the tea into a thermos style of container, sip throughout the day. God Bless.

I inject it like heroin. It's not as potent, but you should see the colors!

Green Tea is a natural antioxidant that can lead to healthier skin cells. Will it help your hair loss? Who knows but having healthier skin will not hurt it.

Hmmm seems like the 8 posts that were before my post dissapeared making my post seem out of place, very odd.

Just picked up some green tea to drink this morning. Does green tea inhibit DHT to any extent?

It may "inhibit DHT" ( :twisted: ) to some extent when applied topically (there was an animal study showing that), but I'd be astonished if it did it systemically to any significant degree when swallowed. I think EGCG is very poorly absorbed from the GI tract.

Thanks Bryan.

catechins

Greentea is supposed to have catechins in it that help fight 5alpha reductase. The extract is supposed to be more potent. pills might be more beneficial

Green tea is good for reasons of general health having nothing direct to do with hair loss. Green tea contains ample amounts of anti-oxidants, which slow the ageing process and do lots of good things for vascular health in particular. Dr Weil in particular takes care to stress the importance of introducing teas of all varieties (he likes many kinds of teas, from green to oolong, etc) because tea is chocked full of beneficial enzymes and chemicals. As far as my readings have indicated to me, tea, and green tea in particular, is something I do for my OVERALL health and benefits to my mop are only something that I am hoping is a residual benefit. Similarly, I brush my hair with a wide-combed brush 60-70 strokes each evening... some think this is bad, others think it is good, but for me, the stimulation feels great and after a month of it, my hairs feel strong and my scalp feels healthier.

Ive only been drinking green tea for about 2 weeks now, but im already addicted! I loves it! :love: Im not going back to regular tea now. :lol:

I recomend getting Organic Green Tea loose (not in tea bags) so you don't end up with any bleach (from the bag) pesticides or herbicides in your brew. It lasts a lot longer than the bags and is cheaper. When I started buying green tea I used to put heaped spoons of it in my cup! the bitterness nearly put me right off until it was ponted out to me that I should just put in a pinch.

I went through a period of eating the leaves, made me a bit jittery.

Try it with jasmine, nice flavour no bitterness and pleasantly calming...green tea anyone...

Of greatest interest to those with androgenetic alopecia is evidence that green tea can influence serum concentrations of hormones and inhibit TNF-a. Research in this area is primarily with reference to hormonal effects on the development of cancer and how green tea and other caffeine containing products might mediate changes in hormone levels. For example, high intake of Green tea has been associated with higher levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SBHG) and lowered levels of serum estradiol (estrogen) concentration in women (Nagata 1998). Increased SBHG may be of help in reducing the effects of androgenetic alopecia. SBHG is a molecule that binds with high affinity to testosterone. Testosterone bound to SBHG is not bioactive and cannot bind to androgen receptors or be converted into dihydrotestosterone. An increase in SBHG concentration effectively reduces free testosterone. Green tea may also have an affect on the type I 5 alpha reductase enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. These two distinct, but complementary, effects of green tea may influence androgenetic alopecia.
One cup of green tea roughly equals 50 mg of tea catechins. Typically research investigations have involved individuals drinking six cups of green tea, or utilizing Green Tea Extracts (300mg or more catechins) each day. Green tea is well tolerated by most individuals with no significant side effects reported.
