Re: Calcium D-Glucarate brought my E2 down I think...

[Guest guest]

If that test with the range of < then or =29 was from Quest labs I would not use

it they have big problems with this test. For a long time men were told there

levels were <2 so they stopped taking there Arimidex and ended in a mess. Dr.

got so sick of there errors he stopped using them.

If you use Quest labs so the #4021 Estradiol test this is there older one for

men range is 13 to 54 pg/ml.

If you get night time and morning wood your levels are good I use this as a gage

to how I am doing.

Never heard of Calcium D-Glucarate lowering levels I do know Estradil levels

from lab to lab are not the same and Estadiol levels go up and down and all over

the place week to week.
