I saw in another post that Bryan considers Saw Palmetto (SP) to be counterproductive in terms of muscle hypertrophy. I know that SP is supposed to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, but he says that it blocks androgen receptors. Does anyone know of the research that shows SP is an androgen receptor antagonist? I'd like to read those papers, but I can't find references.
Also, of all of the BPH phytochemicals that are out there (SP, beta-sitosterol, nettles, pygeum, etc.), which would be the most conducive to muscle hypertrophy?
Thanks
