Phytoandrogens
Phytoandrogens are substances produced in plants which have effects similar to testosterone in animals.
Examples
- Triterpenoids from the Eucommia ulmoides tree can act as phytoandrogens.[1]
- Pine pollen is said to contain bioidentical androgenic hormones.
- Drupanol (Bakuchiol) is phytoandrogenic.[2] It is isolated from seeds of Psoralea drupacea.
- Tribulus terrestris.
- Testofen
- Brazilian Ginseng[3]
- Galangal was proven to increase serum testosterone in rats.[4]
Environmental Effects
Phytoandrogens have been implicated in sex-reversal in fish.[5]
