Confused on Estrogen/Testosterone

[speedy-vet]

Ladies, I'm about to become 46 and need your input here. I thought that Testos.. was for man and Estrog.. was for woman?

I want to gain muscle size and product 6-OXO was recommended to me and I have been on it for a month. I'm just not understanding why do I want to increase Testosterone??? -- didn't realize we woman can produce this?

NOTE: (6-OXO stimulates the pituitary gland to increase LH and thereby increasing natural testosterone production)

speedy: women also have testosterone, but in much lesser degree than men, and so man also have estrogen, but not like women.I dont know about this product but i recommend u to do some reading about the hormone topic and about the prduct too, so u could have a better idea.

Testosterone is the hormone that makes men bigger, with more muscle, more bone density, less fat retention, more hair, etc.

Estrogen is the hormone that makes women softer, smaller, wider hipped, retain precious fat stores, etc.

You want a slightly elevated level of testosterone if you want to retain less fat and if you want to have bigger muscles and more bone density.

Women produce estrogens (there are 3), progesterone and testosterone. The latter is associated with strength and libido, and diminishes with age (as do the other hormones), so some women choose to supplement with it.

I don't think the 6-OXO will help you, however, as the increase in LH in women will result in increased estrogen more easily than increased testosterone. I believe most products like 6-OXO are labeled "for men only."

Thanks for all the great answers here.. Exactly my purpose, to have bigger muscles and less fat. I'll also do more reading on this.

Someday took 6-Oxo and it she thought it helped her, she is over in the over 35 section. I took it while cutting and it made me sick to my stomach and I did NOT see any results with it, unless you count not being able to eat at all.

I think that 6-Oxo is best used when cycling and in conjunction with steroids.

good luck =)

I have been on 6-OXO for a bit over a month now. I take 2 pills per night with food and I have no reactions at all. I do see my arms with a bit more definition and muscles getting hard when targeting them. I like this. I am also eating more during day time to achieve.

THE ONLY tiny reaction here might be a here and there break out under my chin, but not severe to the point I want to stop.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you try Blue Up. I used it until I got pregnant, and basically what it does is release YOUR test for you to use. We all have some, but with women, it is more often bound to other chemicals, thus not free to our use.

This way, you don't elevate your levels abnormally, you just increase the usefulness of what you have.

I used the non-stim Blue Up, and I noticed HUGE differences in my workouts.

I don't see anything there that addresses women using Blue Up. Is it safe?

Hi, I have been wondering the same issues about test for women, and from what another member has said about test boosters, Im sorry I cant remember who, that it raises the LH wich in men causes them to increase test, but for women that would be estrogen.... so, would it be that blue up would make women increase estrogen? I would like something to up test, Im trying to gain some mass...
