Mast & Estrogen Correlation

[< <Samson> >]

Does mast directly lower estrogen? If so, by approximately how much?

I have never really seen BW on this & would love to know.

Don't rely or look at mast as something that lowers estrogen, look at it as a steroid IMO. use an AI for estro

I'm not by any means


Just trying to determine how it's affecting my current BW

I dont think Mast lowers e2 at all. I think it impacts the androgen/estrogen ratio in a positive way which can alleviate some symptoms associated with elevated e2 but I really dont think it has an impact on e2 levels at all.

Well, the reason I ask is because I upped my TRT test a tad. My total test came back right above 1,800.

Last time I had BW, my total test was a little lower. Yet, my e2 this time around was a few points lower than last time.

Only change that I made was that I added 70-80mg of mast prop EOD while trying to manage my gyno outbreak. I have been running the mast prop for about 2 months now. I also dropped my Stane dose from 12.5mg Qd to 12.5mg EOD for almost as long as I have been running the mast.


So, I was expecting my e2 to be a bit higher.


Lower Ai dose, added mast & slightly higher test = lower e2 < strange

No other changes at all aside from running the dropping of the cholesterol protocol - which is also working out quite well.

As a DHT mimetic, it reduces estrogenic side effects more in vitro than bloodwork would suggest.
