I dunno if there are any that lower testosterone, per se. I DO know lowering insulin helps with lowering testosterone. Cinnamon, GLA, and chromium come to mind for that. The other natural remedy that works very well is regular exercise.

I'm no doc -- so please see your doc, naturapath, etc.

But in general, I know that...

Vitex (chasteberry) is an adaptogen that can help balance hormones.

Check out Mary's PCOS FAQ too.
