The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
then you will eventually end up in testosterone which can then be converted to dihydrotestosterone from five alpha reductase or two estrogen derivatives with aromatase and you can see that happening here so oftentimes when people take exogenous testosterone they will aromatize that and increase their estrogen
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
ultimately many of the androgens that is andersen dione anderson diol testosterone dihydrotestosterone have androgenic effects and they can almost all end up being converted to the estrogens if you are getting too much of them usually from the exogenous conversion pathways
remember that testosterone then is converted into estrogen 3% not much 3% and 6 to 8% is converted to dihydro testosterone
I probably should preface this with testosterone converts primarily to two hormones through the five alpha to reductase enzyme. Five alpha reductase to DHT dihydrotestosterone which has a significantly greater potency for binding and transcribing activity at the androgen receptor and estrogen estradiol that will be the primary estrogen receptor agonist in estrogen receptors around the body.
