Zinc and Aromatase

[Smokin Joe]

In my first post I stated that my estadiol was less than 5 and my T was 502. I have been taking a zinc supplement faithfully for years, 25 to 50mg per day. Does anyone think that this is what could have pushed my estradiol so low by blocking the conversion of T to estroge ? Also as I have stopped taking the zinc and am wondering now as my E comes up will my T go down as the T conversion to estrogen is going to take place ?

It will be interesting to see what happens to your estradiol now.

Healthy estradiol (in pg/mL) is usually :

Total testosterone in ng/dL divided by 17 (or so since 14-20 T/E ratios have been correlated with best fertility and lowest gyno incidence)
