Re: Zinc for controlling E2?

[Guest guest]

I have a theory also. After I started on Androgel in 2-3 weeks my testicles shut

down and I went low on my T levels. I was making some T before that happened.

Your levels could be low now. Maybe maybe not. As my economics college professor

always said: " It depends "

Re: Zinc for controlling E2?

I agree with your theory, and it mirrors my own experience somewhat.

Good luck.

I'm not on any of those meds. My cholesterol has just always been low.

I asked my doc if there was a relationship between my low cholesterol

and the low T and he said there was no connection, that vegetarians

often have cholesterol as low as mine and do just fine, and that it's

definitely a good thing to have low cholesterol.
