I've been using Finasteride and Minoxidil for years, somewhat successfully, but it's interesting to see that Soy products such as Soy milk and Tofu also block DHT as well as having other health benefits.

Hi Brian,

I haven't checked into it or done any research on it. Soy products are generally good for you...but if you are looking for any advice, I would say this...in regards to hairloss...do NOT use soy products or any other product as a REPLACEMENT for Propecia and Minox. But instead, if you want to try another product, use it as gravy. You probably know all this...but for other readers of this post, it's important that they see this.

Gravy on soy? I don't know Falc?

Cheers..

Stick with the Prop & Minox..

LOL Mrjb...it was a metaphor :P

I'm not surprised that soy products that contain genistein can reduce the conversion of testosterone to DHT, especially since recent studies have proven that soy products can actually lower testosterone overall in men.

While I don't like the idea of lowering my testosterone by eating soy, or eating soy products at all, for that matter (personal preference, of course) I can see the appeal. However, I would agree with falceros and suggest that you supplement your DHT-inhibitors with soy, not replace them.

After brief reading it appears the easiest way to try out and benefit from soy without the taste would be to take a tablet of genistein-rich soy isoflavones. Generate a search for genistein and you will find a number of sites that sell the product.
