Is it possible that buckwheat in higher doses (~250g a day, longterm) lowers testosterone production/and libido?
ive read that it contains DCI compund which is helpful for PCOS women, because it lowered their testosterone (~50%). and buckwheat is a primary source of this compound.
God I hope not! I actually buy Buckwheat Pancake mix (and then I walk around the kitchen exclaiming things like “Oh’Doh!” and “Ny Goodness Daycious” while cooking -lol. My girlfriend’s not usually as amused as I am).
No idea. I ate 100g a day for the last couple of months almost every single day and dropped it last week. Not quite the quantity you are talking about, but I didn’t really notice any problems with my libido.
If it goes through the roof now that I’ve stopped eating it I’ll probably notice.
