ABOUT
Phytoantiandrogens: Phytoantiandrogens
are a class of phyto-compounds that decrease tissue sensitivity to androgens
or decrease androgen activity, predominantly through the action of 5-alpha-reductase inhibition, which
decreases conversion of testosterone to the more androgenic dihydrotestosterone.
Androgen excess symptoms have been observed in Menopause Types® 3,
6, 9 & 12. Androgen excess disorders have also been observed in
polycystic ovary disease (PCO) and PCO-like syndrome, which has a milder
clinical presentation than PCO. Even though PCO & PCO-like syndrome occur
in young women, associated insulin resistance, lipid disorders and cancer
risks have also been observed, revealing that these factors are not
exclusively age related.♦ |
||||
|
Saw
Palmetto: Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is widely used for
the antiandrogenic properties attributed to it, which are most likely due to
the presence of beta-sitosterol, palmitic-acid and stearic-acid, all of which have 5-alpha-reductase inhibiting activity.
The anti-inflammatory properties that have recently been noted in Serenoa
Repens may be associated with its beneficial properties.♦ |
||||
|
Fennel: Fennel (Foeniculum
vulgare) seed is a source of the antiandrogens
palmetic acid and beta-sitosterol, active components within many
antiandrogenic herbs. The
androgen antagonist properties of Foeniculum
vulgare have been used for women in topical agents to control hirsutism. In
animal studies, fennel extracts have demonstrated antitumor activity in
testosterone sensitive tissue.♦ |
||||
|
Nettles: Nettles
(Urtica dioica) has the antiandrogen palmetic acid as an active component
within the herb.
Antihyperglycemic and hypoglycemic effects has also been noted in Urtica dioica. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic and
antioxidant properties have also been attributed to Urtica dioica., which may contribute to its beneficial
properties.♦ |
||||
|
Holy Basil:
Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) leaf, with a long history of use in
Ayurvedic Medicine, contains antiandrogenic properties that may be attributed to the
presence of the 5-alpha-reductase
inhibiting constituents; beta-sitosterol, palmitic-acid and stearic-acid. In animal studies the anti-androgenic
property of Ocimum sanctum was shown to diminish response in androgen
sensitive tissues, an effect that was reversible two weeks after the extract
was stopped. Antihyperglycemic and hypoglycemic effects has also been noted
in Holy Basil. Animal studies have shown Ocimum sanctum can cause lowering in
serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and LDL-cholesterol
levels and an increase in the HDL-cholesterol. Sedative properties have been
identified in Ocimum sanctum as well as adaptogenic and antistressor
properties in regard to adverse stimuli and toxic substances. Ocimum sanctum
has also been found to inhibit acute as well as chronic inflammation in
animal studies, which may contribute to its antistress, adaptogenic
properties.♦ |
||||
|
Fenugreek:
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum)
seed has antiandrogenic
properties due to the presence of beta-sitosterol, palmitic-acid and stearic-acid. Beneficial anti-hyperglycemic
and hypoglycemic properties of Trigonella foenum-graecum have
been shown to decrease elevated glucose in a double blind placebo controlled human study. It has been shown
to reduce excessive glucose levels and increase the number of insulin
receptors in humans, possible by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin
secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Both human and animal studies have
shown fenugreek has the ability to lower total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL
cholesterol and triglycerides significantly. Anti-inflammatory properties
have also been documented in Trigonella foenum graecum, contributing to its
beneficial properties.♦ |
||||
|
Pygeum:
Pygeum (Pygeum africanum) bark has the antiandrogen beta-sitosterol. Anti-inflammatory
properties have been noted in Pygeum africanum, contributing to the
beneficial properties.♦ |
