Estrogen Issues

[lilkoreangirl]

So, I've been dieting/training for the past month to no avail. Yes, I am impatient. I can see some muscle formation beneath my skin, but I'm not leaning out at all. It's so frustrating!

It was brought to my attention that it may be an issue of estrogen. I have too much? Does anyone know how to bring my estrogen levels down?

Appreciate it,
LKG

Have you had all of your levels checked out by a doc? What does your diet and training look like?

I'm also having problems losing weight..I've lost 55 lbs since May 2006. I think
my estrogen levels are low. Does anyone have a suggestion to raise my levels?

Grape seed/skin extracts is often used in the Biosignature model to modulate both the androgen and estrogen sites. It has been shown to do the following:

Compete with estrogen at the estrogen receptor.
Inhibit the aromatase enzyme that converts intra-cellular testosterone into estrogen.
From a health standpoint, grape seed extract has been linked to reduced risks for breast/uterine and prostate cancer. It protects the DNA against mutagens, and reduces cancer cell profileration. It has also been shown to protect the brain from strokes, neurotoxins and aging.

For those with high cardiovascular risks, this supplement reduces LDL oxidation and plaque formation, reduces platelet aggregation, supports vessel elasticity, and reduces inflammation.

This supplement also protects from glycation by reduced Advanced Glycation Entities.

Grape seed extract is also a valuable adjunct in wound healing as it promotes healthy collagen formation. The Poliquin Performance Center uses only the Leucoselect Phytosome form of grape seed extract in its products.
