I wouldn't be worried about it reducing estrogen. My ND who has a PHd and travels around our country lecturing is one clued up lady. And in agrreeance b cause I haven't had the estrogen metabolism test yet she was like "take the DIM!" . She wasn't too happy with the Maca as we've discussed but had no issues with me trialling for three months . However I'm confident I don't have high testosterone so Maca might not be for you.
Supplementing our diets with DIM can shift the production of estrogen metabolites away from dangerous 16-hydroxy in favor of beneficial 2-hydroxy metabolites. Taking DIM in an absorbable formulation encourages active and healthy estrogen metabolism. DIM supports estrogen balance by increasing beneficial 2-hydroxy estrogens and reducing the unwanted 16-hydroxy variety. This improves estrogen metabolism and helps resolve all three forms of estrogen dominance.
I think you had a dim thread didn't ya. I'm tired. Posted in wrong place.
Haha don't worry <3 I also brought up DIM in this thread. It sounds like it's perfect for you, Ella.
Am laying off the maca for a while. Some ladies say it actually lowered their testosterone but I also think it raises it. You have no issues with T so it's ok. A few ladies on the forum said to take something to block testosterone while taking maca (if you tend to have high T) but have yet to find the perfect supplement to lower testosterone/DHT!!
