PGN Estracort for Men

PGN EstraCort is marketed towards women, but it is a very beneficial supplement for men to take. Men seem to only focus on TESTOSTERONE. I am man hear me roar! Testosterone is great and all, but it is just one of the many hormones in the male body. You can have HIGH testosterone levels, but if the levels of other hormones (i.e. estrogen and cortisol) are out of whack you are going to have issues. From the EstraCort write-up:

“Estrogen, cortisol, hormonal imbalance… Chances are you have heard these terms and they probably either confused or scared you. Estrogen is quite a word. To some it might mean femininity and signify the essence of being a woman.  But to someone interested in getting in shape, it might mean something altogether different. Estrogen is not bad, but excessive estrogen can lead to fat gain, cause difficulty losing fat, water retention, mood swings, cravings….and the list goes on and on! Combine that with excessive cortisol—the STRESS hormone, and reaching your goals and feeling your best will be extremely difficult to do! In todays fast-paced, stressful world it is not uncommon for estrogen and cortisol levels to get out of whack, creating a hormonal imbalance.”

The above applies directly to men as much as it does to women. It is not uncommon for men to have elevated estrogen and cortisol levels. Estrogen is not bad; Estrogen is needed for normal functioning of the body but too much or the wrong types of estrogens can have negative effects on your body. Usually if a man knows or feels he has high estrogen levels he takes an aromatase inhibitor. Now while this will decrease estrogen levels it may decrease estrogen levels TOO MUCH leading to side effects. Guess what fellas, estrogen is needed for muscle growth and fat loss, so even as manly men we NEED estrogen. Instead of eradicating estrogen to low levels and experiencing the side effects associated with that it makes much more sense to modulate or shift your estrogen metabolism in a more favorable direction.

Using EstraCort will increase the amount of “good” estrogens (2-hydroxy) and decreases the amount of “bad” estrogens (4-hydroxy and 16-hydroxy).  By supplementing with EstraCort your body’s natural estrogen metabolism becomes primed to create more of the good and less of the bad estrogens, leading to a health-promoting estrogen balance. This means optimizing muscle growth and fat loss by producing more “good” estrogens while decreasing the risks of elevated “bad” estrogen levels. We have only talked about estrogen, but what about cortisol?

Cortisol is called the “stress hormone” because it is released in response to stress and anxiety. When released at a normal level cortisol helps restore homeostasis after stressful events. But, like estrogen, when too much cortisol is released or cortisol levels are elevated for too long negative affects arise. Excessive cortisol levels can lead to suppression of the immune system, excessive protein breakdown, and the accumulation of abdominal fat. But, like estrogen, cortisol is NOT BAD and the body NEEDS it. So again instead of trying to totally eradicate cortisol levels we just want to control them. Using Estracort will help you do just that and keep your cortisol levels in check!

EstraCort contains DIM, Calcium D Glucarate, Phosphatidylserine, and Green Tea Extract. Here is a quick summary of the effects of these ingredients:

• DIM positively shifts estrogen metabolism to produce more good estrogens and less bad estrogens.
• Calcium D Glucarate increases the elimination of cancer-promoting toxins and estrogens.
• Phosphatidylserine not only will improve brain functioning but will also help control cortisol levels.
• Green tea improves overall health and promotes fat loss.

Remember, testosterone is only part of the equation; don’t neglect your estrogen and cortisol levels. Supplementing with DIM, Calcium D Glucarate, Phosphatidylserine, and Green Tea found together in PGN EstraCort will optimize your estrogen and cortisol production along with giving you are few other beneficial effects. Don’t be a girly man! Take Estracort!
