Re: Difference between DIM and Arimadex

[Guest guest]

Yes to both it is very passable to gain 200 to 300 points on Testosterone

getting Estradiol levels down. As you get the Estradiol down your brain thinks

your T is going to low and starts sending the LH and FSH messages again to tell

the testis to make Testosterone. Because your brain sees high levels of

Estradiol as high levels of Estradiol.

Thanks Phil.

Ahh! The brain " sees " Estradiol as T and downregulates production of T. This

is the part I was missing and explains how DIM can increase T.

Because your brain sees high levels of Estradiol as high levels of Estradiol.

This confused me is your prior response.

Sorry should have reread this " Because your brain sees high levels of Estradiol

as high levels of Testosterone. "

Yes that is it and DIM converts Estradiol the bad guy here into good E's so your

liver can wash them out easy. Dr. feels to help this proccess take some

TMG 750 mgs. at bed time it will help your liver work better.
