Thanks for confirming.17-Beta Estradiol and Estradiol are the same.
Curiously in the latter estradiol-lowering results - study Cortisol was elevated. Intriguing substance boron in that such a mundane substance so drastically changes steroid levels. It’s likely a massively hormetic substance , so efffcts of supplementing will depend on the physiological context of the individual.
Curious, indeed. So, if I get cortisol raising symptoms, maybe I could guess it’s lowering estradiol—which I’m not looking to do. And, maybe evidence that low estradiol goes hand-in-hand with high cortisol—being markers of a poor and/or imbalanced state.
I’ve already had some negative issues since starting boron, but have experimented with some other supps as well. So, I’ve stopped boron and will start with a clean slate in a few days, with no other supps. For the record, I’ve never had success with any supplements beyond very short-term/intermittent usage. I’m hoping, and maybe just being delusional, that boron will be the golden ticket for me some how.
