I'm awaiting my blood test results and planning my programme right now. The doctor thinks I may have androgen dominance, and I suspect the same as I've always had greasy skin and acne, and am very underdeveloped you know where.
So, what have you all been taking for androgen dominance? I'm looking at adaptogens and getting a little confused. Although it is said to balance out hormones, I've read that it increases testosterone, which is something I don't need. Vitex is supposed to decrease estrogen effects and an increase of progesterone effects, and is meant for those who are estrogen dominant, but I believe my estrogen levels should be low. Saw Palmato has anti-androgen effects but can cause cellulite, but I already have stretch marks in my rear end, so I'm not keen on that.
Or perhaps I should just forget about androgen dominance as I intend to start on PM?
