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.♦ |
