[babygirl]

ok found another supplement that could be good for ttc a girl,not sure if its suitable but thought i would get ideas
its called clinicians mens hormone support. Ingredients are
Active Ingredients in 1 capsule:

Ingredients Strength Unit
Chrysin 150 mg
DIM (di-indolylmethane) 150 mg
Serenoa repens (saw palmetto) berry ext

(standardised to 75mg total fatty acids)
160 mg
Urtica dioica (nettle root powder 10:1 ext.) 150 mg


Atomic, what do you think?

[babygirl]

i question the nettle root powder though?

[atomic sagebrush]

hi can you take licorice root instead of saw palmetto? this would be good for me as i am having trouble getting some without other stuff in it and it being standardised

I'm sorry, for some reason I didn't read this thread!! Licorice root can raise estrogen, which sways pink for DH but may sway blue for DW. For that reason licorice is best avoided by ladies and used by gents.

[atomic sagebrush]

Chyrsin lowers estrogen but raises testosterone, so those would be a no unfortunately.

[babygirl]

ok another one for you, what about myo inositol? it lowers estrogen, lowers testosterone, and good for insulin etc also can help with egg quality which is why i am looking at it having had 2 asd kids

[babygirl]

anyone?

[atomic sagebrush]

myoinosotol looks good but I haven't seen anyone use it yet. I generally like to see at least a couple people have successful sways while using it before I recommend it.

myoinsitol is used a lot by women with PCOS....its in Pregnitude I was thinking of using it to see if it helps me get pg. Pregnitude only has myoinsotol and folic acid.

[babygirl]

well i can be your guinea pig then but we cannot get pregnitude here as i have searched so am using straight inositol (which is the same) but half the dose, so 2000mg not 4000mg as in pregnitude. I may up the dose over the next 2 months. If i get a girl using inositol then its gotta work lol

The inositol seems to me works for PCOS women because it improves their insulin response, which makes their ovaries churn out the right hormones and allows them to lose weight...this lowering their testosterone (which can be done simply by losing weight and improving insulin resistance through diet, kwim). So if you did not HAVE wonky ovaries or insulin resistance to begin with, I don't know if this supplement would DO anythnig that couldn't be accomplished just by diet alone. (thinking out loud here, not discouraging you in any way). I do think lowering estrogen and testosterone is important but sometimes I think just balancing them rather than reducing is enough, ie by raising progesterone/lowering T through tried and true things like Vitex/sawpalemetto. The pcos women lowered their T, just because their insulin respsonse was improved and they lost weight, the inosotol didnt' lower T...thats how it seems to ME. But I don't know much about it AT ALL
DIM is also interesting but its hard not to notice how many BODYBUILDERS use this supp, as a way of lowering estrogen so they can INCREASE their testosterone...the same balance I was saying above.
I just hate to see a supplement possibly make things WORSE and inadvertently sway blue...when things like diet, vitex, etc actually really and truly for sure reduce testosterone, balance the estrogen in relation to progesterone etc
