[QUOTE="ivankonst2017, post: 197956, member: 42216"] Im sure Nelson and other people here are more knowledgeable from me and can supply you with actual studies on the matter. Ive seen them, but cannot find links easily now. What I have read the ideas for the dangers of what some doctors consider “high” estradiol come from the bodybuilding world and 2-3 flawed studies where association was mistakened for causation. In other words there was a group of people with different health issues that were not on TRT and had elevated estradiol, so somebody decided the elevated estradiol caused that. The latest research shows it is the other way around - when there are certain issues the body raises aromatization as somehow of a protective mechanism. Estradiol is proven to be anti-inflamatorry, cardio protective, improves bone mineral density, lipids and helps get rid of visceral fat. The other thing I know is estradiol is a paracrine hormone that is secreted in the tissues and it is highly doubtful how reliable is the estradiol serum test. I think doctor and scientists are still on the debate for that. The other thing is unfortunately a lot of doctors even in TRT clinics have learned about TRT from the bodybuilding world. My simple logic as an engineer with some basic TRT knowledge is this - if you raise testosterone, it is normal to raise estrogen proportionally. If for example testosterone is 20 percent above reference range, so it is very natural estradiol to be there as well. Where should your test levels sit is a complete different topic of discussion and I dont wanna get into that. [/QUOTE]
