kettlebell said:Hi Kelly,
I think too little estrogen is highly unlikely unless you have already been using aromatase inhibitors etc. Couple that with the fact that estrogen raises energy demands while blocking a cells ability to generate energy leading to the metabolic issues that creates, I don't believe estrogen is a good idea. I don't believe it would ever be a good idea. There may be conditions out there that require synthetic estrogen to be used but I haven't heard of any. Someone please correct me if im wrong.
Also the estrogen you would be taking is created by a pharmaceutical and likely carries other unwanted side effects due to it being synthetic and changed chemically for patent purposes.
Just my opinion of course!
Thanks kettlebell. I agree that too little estrogen is unlikely, and even if a person did have it, it could probably be treated with diet, lifestyle, maybe some thyroid. I'm just not convinced there's never a reason to take it.
