What may help (8)

  • Anastrozole Supplements HighClinical

    This pharmaceutical form effectively reduces excess estrogen in the body, contributing to a better hormonal balance in conditions characterized by estrogen dominance.

  • Calcium D-Glucarate Supplements HighClinical

    Calcium D-Glucarate helps your body naturally process and eliminate excess estrogen, supporting a healthier hormonal balance and reducing symptoms associated with estrogen dominance.

  • Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) Supplements HighClinical

    By influencing how your body processes estrogen, it can help manage symptoms associated with excess estrogen or estrogen dominance.

  • Naturopathy Practices HighClinical

    Naturopathy effectively addresses hyperestrogenia by supporting estrogen detoxification pathways. DIM (diindolylmethane), sulforaphane, calcium D-glucarate, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and dietary fiber all show high probability in promoting healthy estrogen metabolism and reducing symptoms of estrogen dominance.

  • Eat Whole Foods Habits MediumClinical

    A whole-food diet supports healthy estrogen metabolism and elimination, crucial for managing hyperestrogenia. High fiber content aids in the excretion of excess estrogen through the gut, while cruciferous vegetables (e.g., broccoli, kale) provide compounds like DIM that support liver detoxification pathways, helping to balance estrogen levels.

  • Sulforaphane Supplements MediumClinical

    Sulforaphane supports the liver's natural detoxification processes, helping your body to metabolize and excrete excess estrogens, which can be beneficial for hormonal balance.

  • Diindolylmethane (DIM) Supplements Very highTheoretical

    DIM effectively supports the body in maintaining a healthy balance of estrogen, helping to shift the metabolism of this hormone towards more beneficial forms and alleviate symptoms of estrogen dominance.

  • Integral Yoga Practices LowTheoretical

    While not directly addressing estrogen metabolism, Integral Yoga's profound stress-reduction capabilities might theoretically offer minimal indirect support for symptoms associated with estrogen dominance, as stress can influence hormonal balance.

What to avoid (4)

  • DHEA Supplements Very highTheoretical

    DHEA can convert into estrogen, so if you have estrogen dominance or high estrogen levels, DHEA can exacerbate related symptoms like PMS, breast tenderness, or fibroids.

  • Boron Supplements MediumTheoretical

    Since boron can affect estrogen metabolism, it might worsen conditions linked to excess estrogen. Consult a healthcare professional if you have estrogen dominance.

  • Pregnenolone Supplements MediumTheoretical

    People with conditions related to excess estrogen or estrogen dominance should be cautious, as pregnenolone can indirectly contribute to estrogen levels and potentially worsen hormone-sensitive symptoms.

  • Red Clover Supplements MediumTheoretical

    Red Clover contains compounds that mimic estrogen. If you have conditions like endometriosis or uterine fibroids, which are sensitive to estrogen, this supplement could potentially worsen your symptoms.
