Am thinking about taking Activate Xtreme &
Gaspari Nutrition Novedex XT as those two seem to be the best ones that have worked for people. Would you get Gyno from just taking these test boosters? That's the only thing am worried about. Could some please explain?

Any product that "enhance free testosterone" levels can cause gynecomastia. I have seen many patients unhappy after getting male breast enlargement from taking over the counter substances that were designed to boost testosterone. Just because something put in the body is not prescription, does not mean it cannot have a major effect on the body. This can be one of many possible Drugs or Substances that can Cause Gynecomastia

Perhaps not for posts here in this forum, my word search was not effective nor complete. Sorry about that.
But for patients who come to me I have seen breast growth and gynecomastia by their history of taking such substances. I do work with up to 8 gynecomastia patients a day. The point is that the problem does happen when the only offending item was the "nutritional supplement." Sometimes there are multiple factors, but over the many years I have been sculpting gynecomastia there have been many, many patients who told me they had no contour problem until they started taking ---, then they had breast tenderness, breast growth, and for some even nipple discharge. Some then explain that some of the symptoms improved after stopping that substance and then returned when they tried it again.

Ok...well i have a question for you.
I'm definately not here to argue with you, but I do have a question.
How exactly is a natural test booter going to promote muchless CAUSE gyno if theres no rebound effect with estrogen?
Wouldn't your test levels have to be supressed or something else converting to estrogen to cause extremely high levels of estrogen in the body to make this happen in the first place?

Great info as always Dr. B
Who's to say there is no rebound effect? No your test levels would not have to be supressed; on the contrary, if they are elevated it may make for an elevation in estrogen as well.
E-Bol is non-hormonal
it is possible with any hormonal product. It's also an individual thing, you may or may not be predisposed.Realize that anyone with an affiliation to a supplement company in their signature has ulterior motives when making recommendations. They're primarily concerned with pushing their products. Not your safety or what's best for you.

Everyone is different and responds differently to supplements. It is very possible and occurs more often than you think. There are many factors that play the role of possibility's in the individual person, such as higher body fat and a million other things.

Figured that one. Just didn't know if there was anything that I wasn't thinking of.
While that's true, several of the natty boosters I've seen have built-in estrogen reducers/blockers/metabolizers...or some combination of the three. You'd probably need to stack several natty boosters together to put our levels high enough to start worrying about gyno.

Weight Loss can help with the fat component of gynecomastia, but there are often residual gland, fat, and skin contour issues left behind.
The normal Anatomy of Gynecomastia consists of gland, fat, and skin.
Gyno is public slang for gynecomastia. Galen was the first to coin the word gynecomastia in the second century A.D. Although he was aware of the gland, his description was for the fat component. So, no, if it is fat does not exclude it being gynecomastia. It is the same for a female breast. The Anatomy of a Female Breast also has gland, fat, and skin. Just because a female breast has more fat does not make it any less of a female breast.
Pseudogynecomastia is a relatively new term that is simply horrible. At what point does a fatty breast become "pseudo?" Is that 25%, 50%, 75%? If so, what point does a female breast become "pseudo?" It is a terrible term that has little meaning in the real world.
