Hi Ella, (I moved the question here...hope that's ok).
Ah....in layman huh?, shoot, ok I'll try lol. Though some info is unavoidably not in layman.
For instance...Saponins (as in FG) displace T (testosterone) bound to Sex-Hormone-Binding-Globulin (aka-SHBG), as a result this process raises estradiol because estradiol has a lower binding affinity for SHBG.
And for this reason (as stated above) women don't need large doses of FG. The study indicated E2 rose in the second month using FG at a dosage of (standardized) 600mg FG extract, and my calculations from the study was that increase was approximately 50%, that's a significant increase. I believe the women in the study group had a higher BMI @ 31 though. So what does this mean????....lower BMI could possibly see higher increases.
