Hello everyone, im currently in the process of removing all estrogenic supplements/herbs/foods in my diet. Recently got blood work and to my surprise my E2 levels were high and my test was reasonably low. Now im a natural bodybuilder so this is the exact opposite of what i was hoping to hear. I have a few questions about certian herbs and their correlation with estrogen/aromatase inhibitation.
Some of the herbs ive been researching are
Bacopa monnieri
Ginkgo bilboa
Gotu kola
Bitter melon extract
Grape seed extract
Siberian ginseng
Is anybody aware of the effects on estrogen associated with these herbs? Ive heard mixed things about all of them. Some say they are aromatase inhibitors, others say the opposite. Im just looking for a clear answer on this. Also any recommendations on supps/herbs for estrogen dominance? Just ordered some I3C and calcim d-glucarate
