Estradiol: Why You Should Care

The body has a hard time clearing E from the body. E is metabolized in the liver and discharged into the gut with the liver bile.

Does this suggest using an AI to be necessary in lowering the E, or just make the process faster?

Take 50mg/day of zinc. Front load with 100mg ED for a week.

I take the Biotest ZMA supplement. Good enough?

Thanks.

An AI like Arimidex will deal very effectively with high or elevated E. It does not increase the clearance rate of E, it lowers the production rate of T–>E conversion.

“I take the Biotest ZMA supplement. Good enough?” I have not looked at what is in products for a while. They may work quite well in many cases. Only serum E2 tests will let you know how any of these things work… for you. The considerations for [life long] TRT and estrogen control may be different than for other situations. If a doctor wants to reduce one’s T levels, he will reach for a drug that has a known dose-response.

The use of zinc is something that I have been overlooking… picked up on that when reading books lately. When on TRT with adex, it gets the job done with or without zinc. But zinc has merits in any case.
