So E2 is crucial for NBE right? How do we increase E2 then?
Dfleurs,
I'd say it's essential, honestly there's no easy explaination on how to increase E2. Especially if you calculate age, pre and post menopause, bmi, health, pcos, etc. Take bmi as an example, it correlates more with E1 than E2, meaning E1 is displayed more in peripheral tissues, but increased BMI will lower SHBG production. On the other hand, flaxseed (lignan) will stimulate SHBG in liver, which reduces bioactive estrogen (free E2), down regulates aromatase, which as we know converts T into E.
What's troubling (IMO) is inhibiting the natural production of estrogens, phytoestrogens bind estrogen receptors, which is good in the way it prevents the proliferation of cancers, but what's replacing estrogens?, xenoestrogen? that (it) should be a concern. The point I'm making is I think natural estrogens, (despite all the bad press) coupled with some NBE anti-cancer supplementation is something worth looking into.
Sorry, you would think I'd have an easy explanation/solution, but, if you asked your question in the genetic male section lol........the explanation would be a lot easier .......obviously.
Great question though, btw, I've already provided the answer several times over throughout this thread. Come to think of it?, dozens of threads, lmao. But......."you" cool to me, so I'll answer with some new perspectives.
Thanks,
