However, I will not make apologies for adding this info, and I will not stand by and hear about good people endangering themselves when we have the info and responsibility to pass such information along.
PM-pro-aromatase (Genistein), potential to suppress gonadotropins, potential vasoconstrictor, can increase the potential for blood clots relative to estradiol (especially if you are predisposed).
