**title was meant to read “Can DIM reduce…”
I’m interested in DIM as a potentially low side effect way of reducing/ eliminating gyno development on a testosterone only cycle.
I moderately aromatise - top of the range Free testosterone puts my estradiol at 3/4 of the top of that range. I only need 90mg of testosterone cypionate per week to get those levels.
400mg cypionate a week definitely gets my left pec itching although I’ve not had estradiol bloods on 400mg (it was a long time ago).
I’m looking to do a mild cycle of 200mg per week cypionate for 16 weeks, so likely need just mild estrogen control.
I’ve used Anastrozole quite a lot in past cycles - it was very effective - but I’d like to see what DIM can do.
I don’t want to take Tamoxifen due to the quite high risk of permanent vision damage & also permanent vision floaters.
Same with raloxifene, although risk to vision is lower than with tamoxifen.
Can you guys explain how DIM could reduce gyno risk?
My understanding is DIM converts more of estrone to 2-hydroxy estrone.
I understand there are 3 main natural estrogens - estrone, estradiol (the most potent) and estriol.
Which of these are responsible for gyno?
I currently don’t know more than that, so all help appreciated.
