I upped hops to 3,000 mg. Again, increasing it makes me feel the opposite of what I expect. I went up to 2,500 yesterday, and my libido is good, energy is high, I think clearly, so no signs of estrogen dominance at all.
I'm careful not to take too much maca and fenugreek. Both 2,000 - 3,000 mg. But those two balance each other, since fenugreek is my only source of progesterone, and maca must become estrogens, since I take enough anti-androgen with the hops.
The only conclusion that seems to come up every time is that I can handle more phyto-estrogen. I'm cycling hops for now, and after next Monday, I'll try flax again, and maybe soy. I have milk thistle and panax ginseng here already, and eventually, I'll try PM, if Dargona and Hanah continue to do well on the combination of hops and PM.
If I want to learn something, I can't change too many things at the same time. I still want to experiment with L-arginine. But there are enough other forum members starting experiments with that now. Anastasia is among them, so I trust we will have a sound assessment of what L-arginine can do, maybe by end December already. That's still early enough for me to add it if the dark months are stopping my growth.
