Grapefruit

I used to eat a lot of grapefruit tillI found out about its potential to increase estrogen. Apparently the risks are greater if you are taking any kind of hormones.
As much as I love them I'll stay away from Grapefruit at least while on cycle.

4EVER-POWERI never worried about it...
look at the subjects; postmenopausal women. Are you a postmenopausal woman? If not, don't worry about it.
eating or drinking grapefruit while taking an oral steroid, will increase the way it is absorbed. i think grapefruit juice is great and should always be used while taking an oral.
AnonReally ? So you give no creedance to its ability to create estrogen ? You feel that the amplification of testosterone or other oral; products is worth the extra estrogen creation that may occur ?
the ability to create estrogen is so slight its barely nill. the article is saying The estrogen boost is only slight when you drink grapefruit juice by itself. However, when combined with medications containing estrogen, such as birth control pills, grapefruit juice can greatly increase your estrogen levels, which can cause problem side effects. which goes back to my point, drinking grapefruit juice with any oral increases the way the oral is absorbed, thats why if taking an estrogen pill such as birth control the effect is amplified. so absolutely yes, it is worth it bc the estrogen increase is almost non existent while the oral test your taking will be increased significantly.
AnonAllright well this is good to hear, because I thoroughly enjoy them as an evening snack, or at least used to and can now start again.
What do you think about someone not on orals ?
go ahead bro, its fruit, its healthy for you. as long as your taking an ai while your on, you have nothing to worry about.
AnonHey NYJ I have a question.
I recently added proviron to my regimen, but I take it at night. Do you think to enhance the results the way you mentioned I have a time window where the grapefruit will enhance it best ?
