ASTAXANTHIN REDUCES ESTROGEN GTFIH

[looksmidder]

An open label, dose response study to determine the effect of a dietary supplement on dihydrotestosterone, testosterone and estradiol levels in healthy males

Maintaining endogenous testosterone (T) levels as men age may slow the symptoms of sarcopenia, andropause and decline in physical performance. Drugs inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase (5AR) produce increased blood levels of T and decreased levels ...

LOW doses of astaxanthin (800mg) had no impact on serum E2 levels

HIGHER doses of astaxanthin (2000mg) significantly REDUCED E2 levels.

this is especially interesting since they never went above 2000mg, so higher doses than that could possibly reduce it even more

i was planning to take it for the same reason but heard somebody talking about it fucking with hormones. turns out it does but in a good way lol

It reduces dht

 

[looksmidder]

It reduces dht

yeah that’s whats interesting, it increases T as a result of decreasing dht which would normally increase estrogen but for whatever reason it decreases that too

 

[macedonpsycho]

good but i need dht bro!!!!!!!!!

 

[JCaesar]

How well does it compare to an actual AI?

 

[JCaesar]

good but i need dht bro!!!!!!!!!

ngl there's like a thousand things to increase dht but estrogen is way harder to reduce so worth it imo

Reducing dht is overall a negative unless you are genetically predisposed to go bald early though.

i think a lot of the supplement used was apparently saw palmetto, which decreases estrogen itself so it might not even be the astaxanthin doing it. over for this thread how did i not notice that before

Astaxanthin is an antioxidant. I wonder if the decrease in estrogen comes from the reduction of free radicals in your body

i actually think this is a bs study, it turns out that the supplement used in the study also contains saw palmetto, which is already known to decrease estrogen:

so i think it was actually that which causes the estrogen decrease

 

[DR. NICKGA]

Shit study

 

[looksmidder]

Shit study

agreed
