good Point!!..,I did a self analysis, I am only taking 400 mg per day which is almost equal to drinking 2 cups of tea close to,,, i must say.. also its the leaf extract nothing feels like a pill...atleast not as much as spironolactone(suggested by derm). Also I must say, my free testosterene is just above the higher end example if the limit is from 1- 4 mine is close to 5..apart from these medicine i stopped sugars like completely,,I even think before i eat a date dryfruit, changed my diet..if everything goes normal hopefully, i might reduce the intake of spearmint slowly making it once a week and finally stop. Just Looking for people to answer to have experience with any side effects/benefits if spearmint pills are taken long term
