I also have symptoms of low estrogen when I take vitamin D.B vitamins and sugar boost my libido.

I don't know why it takes so long to get back to normal. it is for this reason that I think that it is rather vitamin E which is responsible.
Have you tried boron? I have read several testimonials on the internet of its effects on increasing estrogen.Consider yourself lucky if it ever comes back.
I permanently tanked my e2 with exemestane, it hasn't come back to normal levels since my last dose 2 years ago.
I'm now fully dependent on HCG or transdermal testosterone to experience the benefits of estrogens, otherwise I'm depressed with cracking joints and undectable e2 on blood work.
From the nutrient book I have here, possible effects of vitamin E overdose are listed as "High blood pressure, allergies, gastrointestinal distress, nausea, derangements of Fe metabolism"
Too much vitamin E can mess with iron metabolism, iron being especially vital for libido by increasing dopamine, and nitric oxide. Could be due to the fact it antagonizes vitamin A. Taking such a massive amount, its hard to know what went wrong but I blame it mostly on the vitamin E rather than the hormones you took.
Wheat is fortified with vitamins but particularly there is quite a bit of folic acid especially if you eat a few servings at a time. This likely is what is improving libido since folic acid helps libido and sexual function through multiple avenues. Its vital for dopamine, histamine, nitric oxide function, all three vital for strong libido. You can try eating more folic acid fortified foods in the diet or supplementing folate, say a couple of milligrams a day and see if libido improves. Vitamin C and B3 synergize well with folate for this purpose, neither are anti-estrogen.
Also ballooning up in weight is due to eating too many calories, but decreased histamine levels can cause excessive hunger which makes overeating more likely.
Vitamin E antagonizes prostaglandins (which also help signal histamine) and has anti-histamine effect by preventing release of histamine from mast cells. So overdose of E can amplify this too much and can shut off libido besides the fact that it has anti-estrogen effects. Just to say what needs to be said, you should never ever take such a massive amount of vitamin E or something similar ever again.
What nutrient book are you using, if you dont mind me asking?
I had a similar problem with having adequate testosterone but very little libido. With all the talk on this forum about high estrogen being bad I figured I must have it. Well, got some blood work done and my estrogen was ridiculously low. Did some research and found a study in the Journal of Sexual Health that clearly illustrates that low estrogen is a massive libido killer in men. For libido (in men), it’s actually good to be slightly elevated. So now I take and eat pretty much everything I can that raises estrogen.Hello,
I have been asking questions relevant to this issue in a few other posts, but thought making a new threat might help me better.
So after going from keto/carnivore to a more "peaty" diet, I have gone from 210lbs to 280lbs.
I have gut issues as shown in stool tests and SIBO tests. The gut issues led to lots of anxiety. Working with antimicrobials and activated charcoal has helped a lot on that front.
My testosterone has also gone from the 500s to the 100s over the last few years.
My estradiol was consistently in the 25 range.
However, over the last few months, I have experimented with Androsterone/Pansterone and Vitamin E in an effort to increase testosterone and improve fertility.
Vitamin E 800mg for a 2 months.
Androsterone 1mg for a month, then 2mg for a month, then 5mg for a few days.
Pansterone 15mg for 2 months.
The last month I ran out of Pansterone and was only taking the Androsterone.
Unfortunately, the results have been a
1)going from a libido (5/10) to (0/10) . no desire for sex
2) Estradiol from 26.8 to 15.4 (before I did another month of the androsterone). I will test it this week . It is likely much lower.
I stopped taking Vitamin E, 2 weeks ago.
I stopped taking the androsterone/pansterone last week after the no libido became unbearable.
So my question: I'm fat and have LOW estrogen.
What are the best way to recover from the androsterone/pansterone/vitamin E inhibition of estrogen?
What are some experiences you've had with these substances?
From what I've seen in the forum, anecdotal evidence suggests a low estradiol is a real concern regarding libido (despite what some studies posted say).
I am concerned that some people are reporting long-lasting libido issues from a similar combination.
This is despite that androsterone/pansterone have short half-lives. Vitamin E is a bit longer I understand as a fat-soluble vitamin.
In the meantime, I am working on increasing my gut health (antimicrobials/prebiotics/probiotics/activated charcoal/no starch) and maximizing dopamine/lowering serotonin.
I'm pretty scared. Despite having anxiety issues stemming from gut issues, my libido had always been reliable. But having no libido is absolutely soul-crushing.
Thanks.
So what are the foods you eat to raise estrogen?I had a similar problem with having adequate testosterone but very little libido.

Bumping this up. Still experiencing this and recommend men to be very wary of crashing estrogen.I experienced this for the past months. At first, I thought it'll be fine since I'm cutting weight (I prefer not being distracted by sex, I like how dry I look, and my face bloat is gone completely). However, I am experiencing the negative effect of very low estrogen. My hair is getting dry and brittle, my sleep is bad, and I am apathetic. The loss of emotions can impede regular interactions with others.
I was taking a similar supplements stack to you. I'm going to drop my aspirin and vitamin for the next few months. Potentially dropping androsterone and gonadin as well.
@Lokzo Maybe you can chime in.
May be of interest to you Vans. Not the thread in general but this specific post I made referring to crashing estrogen. Finally Cured From Post Finasteride Syndrome
Thank you! Is transdermal estrogen the only helpful thing you’ve tried?May be of interest to you Vans. Not the thread in general but this specific post I made referring to crashing estrogen. Finally Cured From Post Finasteride Syndrome
It was oral not transdermal. Arachidonic acid and/or lots of egg yolks to boost aromatase helped a bit but nothing like the estradiol. The receptors need to be reset and you need to go above your natural level of E2 to do that.Thank you! Is transdermal estrogen the only helpful thing you’ve tried?
