I just found a few articles that (I think) are telling me that multiple ligands can bind to a receptor and that the one with the strongest affinity is the one that causes the protein reaction .... or at least (between all of the words that I'm not quite sure of) that's what it looks like. So that would tell me that I don't have to worry about "getting and keeping the right hormones" bound to the receptors first .... but that as the hormones in my system change the stronger ones will bind (along with the weaker) and cause the reaction.
So lets say that I'm not blocking any DHT creation, my Estradiol is in a normally low range (being a male) And I'm taking lots of phtyoestrogens ... both my limited Estradiol and the phtyoestrogens binds with my estrogen receptors ... but since the number bound with Estradiol is small and phtytoestrogens aren't that strong the reaction is little (meaning NO BOOBIES) OR slow to come by BOOBIES.
But then I start to block DHT ... leaving more Free T to make Estradiol. Now I have phytoestrogens and MORE Estradiol bound to my receptors ... the Estradiol, having the greater affinity cause MORE OF A PROTEIN REACTION .... YEAH FASTER BOOBIES
So it would seem to me that the primary GOAL for any NBE program (for men anyway) would be to get DHT lower (where they want it) so that there is always more Estradiol binding to receptors. And anything that you can do to increase Estradiol is good.
Does this sound like anything reasonable?
