Aromotase Inhibitors - Natural Sources.From: Anne-Marie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue May 11 06:28:42 2004
http://www.musculardevelopment.com/june98/testboost.html LEG 3: Natural Aromatase Inhibitors (Anti-Estrogen) Aromatase is an enzyme that converts androstenedione to oestrone (which leads to an increase in the amount of circulating estrogen). Of course, this is not good for anyone wanting to maximize muscle tissue and minimize fat deposition. Some chemicals attempt to get in the way of aromatase, blocking this conversion. We've got the perfect dosage of the most effective anti-estrogen compounds: 5) Purified Soy Isoflavone Concentrate--200 mg (40% isoflavones) By far, the most efficacious of the aromatase inhibitors are the soy isoflavones, a type of bioflavonoid. For decades, researchers have noted the role of soy isoflavones in the protection from breast cancer and other cancers. What does this have to do with anti-estrogen activity? You see, a lower risk of breast cancer and other cancers related to estrogen is directly related to a diminished activation of estrogen receptors. The more activation, the greater the risk. In fact, researchers began to notice the importance of soy isoflavones in the protective effect of lowered estrogen levels when finding that Asian populations have a lower frequency of breast cancer, yet consume a diet very high in soy isoflavones. Where the isoflavones come from is very important. There's something very distinctive about soy isoflavones.(13) They appear to block the conversion of androstenedione to oestrone more effectively than any other substance; it's like a natural Nolvadex. Recently, researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, presented data showing genistein (a soy isoflavone) inhibited prostate cancer cell growth. Other research from Australia found that 40 mg per day isoflavones significantly increased HDL cholesterol.(14) Even the editors of HealthNews, from the publishers of The New England Journal of Medicine, when citing the exceptional health of Japanese women ingesting high amounts of isoflavones, write "Your goal should be to work up to 25 to 45 milligrams of isoflavones a day--the amount consumed by the average Japanese woman." TWINLAB's Testosterone Fuel Booster has 80 mg.
