Zinc every day? I ask this because up to now everyone I've talked to that still experiences lingering low e2 symptoms after crashing e2 supplemented moderate to high amounts of zinc prior to crashing.
Zinc has antiaromatase properties and is copper antagonizing (key mineral in estrogen function).

Good, so you stopped dostinex?
I wonder if lisinopril and nebivolol worsens this in some indirect way. I don't know yet.

[QUOTE="zancek0, post: 262517, member: 45189"] Zinc every day? I ask this because up to now everyone I've talked to that still experiences lingering low e2 symptoms after crashing e2 supplemented moderate to high amounts of zinc prior to crashing. Zinc has antiaromatase properties and is copper antagonizing (key mineral in estrogen function). Good, so you stopped dostinex? I wonder if lisinopril and nebivolol worsens this in some indirect way.
