The benefits of oestrogen

[alph_a]

Guys, what are your views on oestrogen.

I find that often guys try to avoid any form or aromatisation like the plague, to the point that many guys take anti-oestrogen meds (nolva etc.) while on highly aromatising roids. I am not talking here for about the guys experiencing gynecomastia, I'm talking about the guys trying to avoid any high levels of estrogen because they think that it's THE catabolic compound and works against testosterone.

My understanding is that oestrogen has many benefits, including boosting your immune system, helps with the breakdown of glucose = more energy, but notably it helps to reset the androgen receptors that get knackered in the presence of really high level of testosterone and as a consequence stop responding. So effectively oestrogen helps our body to have an even stronger reaction to testosterone = more growth.

You guys agree?

I started a thread a long time ago discussing the same thing. It's good to revisit certaina aspects every now and then if nothing more than to be a reminder, since estrogen has the boogie man syndrome attached to it.

Yes, I agree to the extent that you need adaquate estrogen to get the maximun anabolic response from testosterone. But I like to regulate my estrogen levels so that I don't bloat or get elevated BP, so some estrogen is needed but to much isn't good either.
