A case of estrogen dominance in men
Men are often wary of taking progesterone supplementation for fear it will induce female characteristics. This couldn't be further from the truth. It is the hormone estrogen that is responsible for the characteristics of the female body.
In men, estrogen gradually rises with age, while saliva levels of progesteorne and testosterone gradually fall with age. Thus, with aging, estrogen dominance occurs.
A clear sign of estrogen dominance in aging men is their tendency to develop breasts. This indicates these men are low in progesterone and testosterone. ~ Catherine Rollins |
