Obesity, estrogenic chemicals in the environment, nutritional deficiencies, medications and alcohol can all cause excessive levels of estrogen to accumulate either by enhancing conversion of testosterone to estrogen or reducing the ability of the liver to eliminate excess levels of estrogen. High levels of estrogen can result in increases and difficulty losing body fat, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, prostate enlargement and reduced levels of testosterone by directly inhibiting it�s production. Causes of increased production of estrogen are: Increased activity of the aromotase enzyme.- This enzyme increases with age and body fat while high level of zinc and vitamin C decrease it. Age- over 50 years old the body increases it�s conversion to estrogen. The ability of the liver�s P450 system to convert the more active estradiol into weaker forms. Excessive Alcohol intake. I recommend less than 5 drinks weekly IP: Logged |

I don't know man. You should probably talk to the Doctor that prescribed it. I'd definately look into it if you are on or gonna be doing a cycle. Some people are more proned to gyno than others. Some people could probably eat prozac by the handfull along with some d-bol and never get it. [This message has been edited by Latimer (edited June 14, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Just like latimer said, alcohal can increase aromitase enzyme if I'm not mistaken, also, the increase in bf% that usually follows heavy alcohol consumption could contribute to the gyno factor. marauder out. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Marauder (edited June 15, 2000).] IP: Logged |
