Women and Estrogen
By Ori Hofmekler
In a world which is overwhelmed by estrogen chemicals, women are more prone than ever to suffer from estrogen's adverse effects, which include undesirable fat gain, menstrual disorders, and increased risk for cancer.
Imbalanced or deficient diets, low intake of omega 3 oils (EFA) and high consumption of alcohol further accelerates estrogen's damaging effects and risk factors.
... estrogen inhibitors can help induce weight loss preventing and even eliminate estrogen related fat gain (stubborn fat) while shifting estrogen metabolism to produce beneficial antioxidants and anticancerous metabolites.
Alcohol consumption predictably raises circulating estrogen by as much as 200% by interfering with its metabolism. If coupled with unfavorable pathways of estrogen metabolism (i.e. 16 hydroxy metabolites), alcohol can potentially promote cancer. Over-estrogenic activity is also associated with premenstrual and menstrual adverse symptoms such as chronic or recurring severe cramps, bloating and heavy bleeding.
The Anti-Estrogenic Diet and supplemental estrogen inhibitors can help balance estrogen levels and defend against its harmful metabolites. Furthermore, the biological benefits of estrogen inhibiting flavonoids also include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancerous, all of which further increases the body's ability to protect itself against estrogen adverse effects.
Certain phytonutrients have shown to reduce undesirable metabolites of estrogen, now known to be responsible for cancer initiation and cancer promoting effects of estrogen. The phytonutrient diindolymethane (DIM), found in cruciferous vegetables, promotes beneficial estrogen metabolites associated with lower risk for breast cancer and other estrogen related disorders.
Estrogen inhibitors, when incorporated together in synergy (flavonoids and indoles) can help provide effective defense against excess estrogen. When combined with The Anti-Estrogenic Diet (high vegetable, high omega 3 oil, low omega 6 oil) and exercise, estrogen inhibitors can help induce weight loss - preventing and even eliminating estrogen related fat gain (stubborn fat) while shifting estrogen metabolism to produce beneficial antioxidants and anti-cancerous metabolites.
Pre- and post-menopausal women
Pre-menopausal women suffer from gradual decreased production of progesterone. This loss of progesterone during the second half of the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle can cause irregular periods and contribute to pre-menstrual mood disorders. On top of that, pre- and post-menopausal women suffer from estrogen related central fat gain (stubborn belly fat). This "thickening" of the body is likely related to a biological mechanism that attempts to compensate for the loss of estrogen by increasing the size of adipose (fat) tissue. Fat cells are the site for estrogen synthesis via the aromatase enzyme. Ironically, menopause, which involves an initial loss of estrogen, also involves a simultaneous increase in estrogen activity due to estrogen related fat gain, which profoundly increases estrogen production.
...certain compounds in plants called flavonoids and indoles can exert various biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-estrogenic and modulation of sex hormones.
The Anti-Estrogenic Diet and supplemental estrogen inhibitors can help pre- and post-menopausal women balance estrogen levels while alleviating its adverse effects. Furthermore, they can help attenuate estrogen expression in fat tissues, thereby eliminating the main reason for its related fat gaining effect.
By virtue of promoting desirable 2 hydroxy and 2 methoxy metabolites, one of the estrogen inhibitors (DIM) is also notable to help increase progesterone production from ovarian cells. This can help balance estrogen/progesterone ratio, while improving disorders associated with menopause, including recurring breast pain, fibrocystic disease and endometriosis.
Women on hormone replacement
Women who choose to take supplemental estrogen face a serious dilemma. On the one hand, estrogen therapy can help restore the loss of estrogen, providing the beneficial effects of estrogen in supporting the health of the central nervous and skeletal systems among other beneficial properties of estrogen. On the other hand, despite the compelling evidence as to the benefits of estrogen replacement, studies show that there is a related increased risk for breast and uterine cancer. For that matter, supplemental DHEA, an adrenal steroid precursor used currently as a natural source of estrogen in post-menopausal women, also involves risk factors similar to estrogen replacement therapy.
Estrogen inhibitors flavones and indoles such as in EstroX™ can help reduce undesirable metabolites of estrogen which are known to promote cancer. Instead, certain compounds in Estrogen Inhibitors (EstroX™) positively help shift estrogen metabolism into healthy pathways, which produce beneficial metabolites associated with lower risk for estrogen related cancer and other disorders.
EstroX™ – estrogen inhibitors is not a steroid. Its inhibitive mechanisms do not interfere directly with estrogen replacement drugs. Nonetheless, EstroX™ helps provide nutritional defenses against harmful estrogen metabolites while balancing estrogen levels for a lean and healthy body.
