Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I was reading about high estrogen in males with hypogandism in here and realized my blood tests of past had high estrogen levels. So this takes me to this question, which treatment is better: DIM or a FDA approved estrogen medication? I see DIM is inexpensive and this helps with the cost of hypogandism treatments. But, if a FDA approved medication will show improvements than the cost is understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Can you post your tests it's not Estrogen we are talking about it's Estradiol E2 we are talking about. Testing Estrogen is a not the test you want. If your test was E2 then Indolplex/DIM converts E2 into good E's so your liver can wash them out. Arimidex block E2 from being made better to go with DIM first if it does not work the go to Arimidex. Men do good on 1/2 a tablet of DIM.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sorry it took so long to respond. Thanks for the info. It was E2 but in a different medical word. I will try DIM given Im sick of taking FDA approved meds right now. How long do I wait after taking this herbal pill for results? Ido have some breast tissue so hopefully DIM will work. philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote: Can you post your tests it's not Estrogen we are talking about it's Estradiol E2 we are talking about.

I'm NOT very lean at this point so I'm dealing with a good bit of aromataze producing stomach fat)... but even at that it's about 1mg a week... 1/4 tab eod.... so it's about 3$ a week. since starting the aromasin I'm doing even less... 1/4 tab day of shot and 1/4 4 days later... but this is new... I know I feel better but I haven't gotten labs back to confirm e2 levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 If you do this make sure your E2 was tested high I don't know what kind of test you had. Get his brand it works so many times I post this and get a reply they go a cheaper brand and it did nothing. There is a lot of junk out there. http://www.ritecare.com/prodsheets/PHY-15336.html Take one table at dinner don't take 2 you will go down so fast you will miss the Zone. In less then a week you should get morning wood the kind that wakes you up. This is the Zone keep track of your morning wood and if it stops your going to low so stop taking the Indolplex/DIM. When wood comes back that day go back on it but cut the table in half. Keep doing this and get tested every 6 weeks sometimes you think your going to low and your going back up. Best to do this with testing. Phil B E <superiorandkeen@...> wrote: Sorry it took so long to respond. Thanks for the info. It was E2 but in a different medical word.
