Our body needs estrogen to function properly, but too much estrogen can cause detrimental health effects, and severely limits our ability to produce future testosterone. It is a common fact that estrogen is produced by our body; but more serious and lesser known is that estrogens are produced outside of our body and brought in. These are known as environmental estrogens, "pseudo-estrogens," or "xeno-estrogens," which may not be estrogen, but are treated as such by our body. Some of the places in the environment where these "estrogens" may be found include:

• Water - Herbicides / pesticides act as endocrine disrupters, which elevate estrogen, and are washed into our drinking water.
• Liquids - Milk has been found to contain concentrations of estrogen.
• Meats - This industry uses estrogen to hasten growth of animals used for food.
• Plants - Produce a mild form of estrogen known as "phyto-estrogen."
• Grains and Starches - Become digested into simple-sugars and cause the body to increase production of estrogen.
• PVC and Plastics- Leach "estrogens" into surrounding materials.

Our body attempts to regulate the amount of estrogen present and its ratio to testosterone through a process called negative feedback. This means that the end product in a chain of events affects an event higher up causing the entire process to stop or decrease. The end product, estrogen, causes the hypo-thalamus / pituitary gland to decrease the future production of precursors to, and testosterone. This process is flawed. Once the levels of estrogen are elevated and the resulting levels of testosterone are decreased, the negative feedback process is unable to correct itself due to the influx of environmental estrogens. This is where DeAromatase comes in.

DeAromatase works with the negative feedback process to help increase the levels of testosterone, decrease the levels of estrogen, and realign their ratio to a healthy normal range. This is accomplished because some of the receptor sites DeAromatase binds to affect the negative feedback process, causing the body to sense the need for more testosterone and increase production. The selective inhibition of the arornatase enzyme allows the increased testosterone production to adjust and realign itself to its normal ratio with estrogen. Even with the influx of environmental estrogens, our body is able to maintain healthy concentrations of testosterone and estrogen.

People all share the same hormonal make-up, the difference lies in its ratios and concentrations.

Sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver that is mainly responsible for the modulation of the sex hormones in men and women. Its role is to modify the amount of bioavailable hormones which it does in two ways. First, SHBG will bind to testosterone much more readily than it will to estrogen; when it binds to a hormone, it makes it inactive. Secondly, estrogen promotes SHBG production, whereas testosterone decreases it.

When we become estrogen dominant, not only does our body decrease production of testosterone, it increases production of SHBG which binds the testosterone lowering levels even further. Some of the negative effects of estrogen dominance include:

• Impaired Immune Function
• Weight Gain, Fat Accumulation
• Fatigue, Lowered Energy Levels
• Emotional Imbalances, Mood Swings
• Decreased Mental Clarity, Inability to Concentrate
• Loss of Libido

Probably the most severe negative effect of estrogen dominance is the impaired immune function. When our immune system is compromised, we tend to get sick more often and the severity of the sickness increases.

Weight gain is another severe negative effect of estrogen dominance. To briefly explain, die hormone estrogen causes the body to store fat. It also binds to die thyroid hormone, triiodothyro-nine (T3), which causes the metabolism to slow. In addition, estrogen
causes insulin insensitivity, which is when the body produces excessive amounts of insulin to shuttle calories. The inefficiency of insulin, along with the slowing of metabolism causes the body to increase fat stor¬age. The real kicker is that fat cells produce estrogen! This means that the more fat accumulated, the more estrogen produced, which causes more fat gain, and so on.

Once in this vicious cycle, it is very hard to ever get out, which is evidenced by the soaring rates of overweight and obese Americans.

Research has shown that DeAromatase works in a dose dependent fashion. This means that the amount taken is direct-ly tied to the amount of conversion enzymes and estrogen receptors that are blocked. Through testing, we have established that five (5) servings per day works adequately to restore hormonal balance in men; women need take only three (3) serving per day.

Why Take DeAromatase?

As stated earlier, DeAromatase works to optimize the body's hormonal levels and create a healthier environment. The hormonal repositioning will begin within the first few days; effects of this repositioning have been noticed as early as two (2) weeks.

Some of the Possible Benefits:

What is DeAromatase?

DeAromatase is a fully patented, proprietary blend of natural herbs and phyto-nutrients designed to optimize hormonal levels and ratios enabling improved performance for a healthier body.

This is accomplished via a threefold mechanism:

• DeAromatase works to selectively inhibit the aro-matase enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of both androstenedione and testosterone to estrogen.

• DeAromatase has also been shown to help control the enzyme Salpha-reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

• Testing has shown that DeAromatase attaches to estrogen receptor sites blocking excess estrogen from attaching and exerting its effects.

The cumulative effect of these mechanisms is increased bioavailable* testosterone levels and decreased estro-genic effects within the body. Since androstenedione's conversion to estrogen is limited, more androstenedione is available for its conversion to testosterone. The increased testosterone is able to remain elevated because less is converted to estrogen or DHT. This enables a greater chance for testosterone to exert its positive effects upon the body; whereas, the excess estrogen is restricted in its ability to exert negative effects due to less receptor sites available for attachment.
