AdrenoMend™ Question
Question: Is it okay to use AdrenoMend first if I have more than one hormone problem, and I am not sure where to start?
Answer:
AdrenoMend™ is a great first choice for most hormone problems unless there is a suspicion of excessive androgens, such as excessive testosterone.
AdrenoMend™ supports many of the hormone systems, including the production and function of sex hormones and thyroid hormones, and the balancing of adrenal hormones. In addition it balances other systems, such as the system that controls blood sugar, the system that controls appetite and metabolic rate, etc. You can see all the systems that are normalized at:www.AdrenoMend.com/Homeostasis_Systems.html
It is important to note that AdrenoMend™ improves function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which is the system that promotes production of hormones from the gonads (testes and ovaries). Since the gonads make testosterone in both males and females, people with symptoms of excessive testosterone should address the high testosterone symptoms before starting AdrenoMend™.
In women that have symptoms of PCOS, or an androgen excessive type of PMS/PMDD or an androgen excessive type of menopause, it may be best to also start taking TestoQuench™ for Women. This will tell their bodies not to make more testosterone, while the systems are still allowed to become more active.
Men going through andropause may have relatively high estrogen levels compared to their testosterone levels. For example, a man may have estrogen levels in the 50th percentile (in the middle of the reference range), but his testosterone is in the low end of their range. This relative excess of estrogens, or estrogen dominance, could cause prostate irritation, increased growth of breast tissue, or other signs of estrogen dominance. In those cases, it is best to use EstroQuench™ with the AdrenoMend™. In some men, I recommend starting with AdrenoMend™ and EstroQuench™ even before they start TestoGain™. This allows the body to first balance the systems affected by estrogen dominance in men, such as the blood glucose system, the thyroid system and the system that controls appetite and metabolic rate. The TestoGain™ will work much better after estrogen dominance is treated.
