This Turkish study states that mint tea reduces androgen levels in women.

A previous study showed a decrease of test levels in rats: Effects of peppermint teas on plasma testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone levels and testicular tissue in rats - PubMed

And the authors decided to investigate after they got complaints from men about a decreased libido when they drank 4 cups of mint tea. Mint tea is a popular beverage in Turkey.

This is not good news!!! I am always sipping on Mint tea after meals… will have to change it up, stick to the green!

the article says it lowers free test, but not total test. it also says spearmint increases lh and fsh…isn’t that what Alpha Male does ?

i don’t know know anything about test metabolism but this study was not done on men, rather on women with presumably high test levels… is it so simple to transfer results between men and women like that ?

Good question, but don’t forget the study on male rats.

There’s green mint tea though.
