There are several nutritional agents that are known to have the ability to curtail estrogen conversion, as a matter of fact.

Kelp, or bladderwrack seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus) has an anti-estrogenic effect. Substances found in kelp delay the manufacture of estradiol in the body and sabotage the working of the estradiol receptor.

Supplements that also have an anti-estrogen effect are Ginkgo biloba, green tea and gamma-linoleic acid. According to researchers at the US Department of Agriculture, mushrooms also have an anti-estrogenic effect.

The fish fatty acid DHA is also shown protect the body from the impact of the female sex hormone estradiol. DHA encourages cells to break down estradiol receptors, however, dosing of DHA has to be extremely high.

Other food ingredients that have anti-estrogenic effects ascribed to them include Damiana, Goji berries, vitamin K, fish oil, grapeseed-extract, resveratrol, vitamin D, mangosteen and GLA.

The flavonoid quercetin, which is also known to have an anti-oestrogenic effect, is contained in large amounts by many herbs, as well as onions, red wine, green tea and the peel of red apples. Quercetin intercepts the estradiol receptor's signal to the cell.

Pharmacologists at Seoul National University has discovered in a 2006 research that the seeds of the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) contain a lignan that blocks the effect of estradiol in cells as effectively as Nolvadex does.
