Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Spearmint Tea work?
Appears to have anti-androgenic activity, reducing circulating levels of free testosterone while increasing luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and oestradiol. The exact mechanism is not fully elucidated but may involve inhibition of 5-alpha reductase and modulation of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).
