I read this and I am sorry but i have a way different conclusion from this and other research..astaxanthin lowers dht..thats it. Dont take aromatase with it..its counterproductive and you could end up with way too much estrogen and too low testosterone in comparison. .it will also shock your system too much..you could end up hypothyroid..just take supplements in balance..i think in your case first htake care of your testosteron..wigh either an a.a or aromatase..when your body is used to thatyou could add P and E. Best woulc bd hormone testing its possible..

Oh dear, now I'm even more confused Hannah   Why did you say that you need to buy white peony in this thread about astaxanthin??: http://www.breastnexus.com/showthread.php?tid=27669&highlight=astaxanthin 

I agree with you regarding DHT/testosterone. We don't want to block them. Too much isn't good (members of the "less hair, more boob" club know what I mean, sigh!), but too little isn't good either. I used to think DHT is pure evil but it promotes heart health, increases strength etc. 

Yes, getting blood work done is fundamental. I have PCOS and blood tests (and unwanted hairs lol) indicate high T and normal E and P levels. I'm taking inositol to lower testosterone by the way Hannah, but not sure how long it takes for it to work.... am getting impatient. Ladies, does white peony give you any side effects? Like palpitations? I wonder if it contains caffeine? Coz even plain tea gives me palpitations...

You can buy white peony if you want to opt for a double approach..with an aromatase like white peony rootextract you will lower your dht andup your estrogen at the same time. I think we misunderstood each otherinthe otherthread..but its all so complex lol. Idk about thecaffeine...but ifyou take tea there ofcourse will becaffeine in it..but i would advise supplementing anyhow. I dontthink teas are very effective. You might have to drinkloads of tea...notvery practical. Sorry for my late reply, but pregnancy is exhausting!:p
