Apparently Chinese tea reduces DHT by 72% and raises testosterone.

(Mice treated with black tea tended to have a greater serum testosterone concentration (34.4%, P = 0.50) and had a 72% lower DHT concentration than controls (P < 0.05), suggesting that black tea may contain components that inhibit the activity of 5-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to the more bioactive DHT. Green tea tended to increase serum testosterone and DHT levels by 73.8% (P = 0.14) and 194% (P = 0.076), respectively. The combination of SPC and green tea reduced serum levels of DHT (P < 0.05). )

Your thoughts on this study?

Keemun tea was the tea used in the study. It just looks like black tea.

Yeah, you can get it pretty much anywhere. They even sell it on Amazon.

I just wonder if it works on humans and how much one would have to drink.
