A body building friend of mine and I were talking about T boosting supplements and we both kind of agreed that the research seems to indicate a problem with those is that excess T actually can be converted to E (whether you're male or female bodied). I figured that's why a lot of the "natural" T boost supplements really didn't work very well. But my friend mentioned there's also supplements that are supposed to boost T while blocking E and mentioned a product called Myodex. I'm wondering if anyone out there has experimented with that or anything similar?

At $1.70 a pill (don't know what the dose is) I hope they'd work. This isn't like taking some cheap vitamin C for a cold and find it doesn't work for you.

I'm not familiar with Myodex, but I've tried "herbal" E blockers which I got off the net from iHerb.com.  I got DIM, or diindolylmethane to give it its proper name, and I did have good results with it.  I had a look around some endo journals and it seems there is actual evidence that the stuff helps reduce E.  Anyways, it did make me feel a lot better.  I found I had a lot more energy, felt better in myself and more comfortable in my skin, and the estrogen dominance symptoms I'd been having went away.

I took the DIM when I came off E based birth control, which was doing horrible things to my body.  Turns out E and my body don't play nicely together (whoever would've guessed?).  After a few months I found I didn't really need the DIM anymore and stopped taking it.

From memory, the stuff was quite cheap through iHerb.com, so I would say get a bottle and see how it goes.  But please don't take more than 200mg/day because the endo journals suggest that could be bad for your liver.
