Blocking the aromatase is crucial for decreasing estrogen, whether you have high testosterone or not. Lower aromatase activity will leaves more testosterone to bind with androgen receptors to exert its anabolic effect, as well as to be converted to DHT via 5-AR (5 alpha reductase). High Estrogen symptoms include: Pelvic pain Night wakings and sweats (can’t…

Zinc for building muscle
Zinc, a very important water-soluble trace mineral, is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and even more proteins. Zinc regulates neurotransmitters, behavior, learning & memory, neural development, fuel metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis, muscle protein synthesis (increase mTOR), growth, hormone production, insulin (involved in the synthesis, storage and release of insulin), fatty acid oxidation, improve hypertension (by…

Thyroid and testosterone production
How does your thyroid status affect your androgen levels? The thyroid produces two hormones, namely T4 and T3. T4 is converted to T3 via the deiodinases enzyme and T4 levels are always higher than T3 levels. T4 is just considered as a pro-hormone, as it’s converted to T3, which is the active hormone. T3 binds with…
Vitamin E: boosts androgens, lowers estrogen and prolactin and supports muscle growth
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is very important in steroidogenesis, and at the same time it keeps unwanted hormones such as prolactin and estrogen low. It also plays a vital part in making intense exercise possible as well as developing the muscles you want. It has powerful antioxidant properties that boost the immunity…
