The problem for the average individual is sifting through the mounds of BS to find out which products are real and work, which products are real and sort-of work, and which products are simply overpriced gimmicks!

Lef's Super Mira Forte works by means of inhibiting the aromatase enzyme responsible for converting T to E by means of a natural, plant based herb called Chrysin.
LEF is also VERY detailed on who should use what products and which products will work naturally. Had you followed these specific rules, you would have saved yourself much hassle. -

They specifically adrress it here - "Low Free Testosterone, Low Estrogen, Low Testosterone"
This situation suggests low production of testosterone, with resultant low conversion to estrogen. Suggestions include:
* Use testosterone patches, pellets, or cream. Do not use testosterone injections or tablets. If tests reveal low levels of LH, ask your physician about the possibility of using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG function is similar to LH function, and HCG can restart gonadal production of LH.
* Take 15 to 75 mg/day of DHEA.
They ONLY suggest that one use their product Super Mira Forte when:
Low Free Testosterone, High Estradiol, Mid Total Testosterone
This situation suggests excessive aromatase activity, which converts free testosterone to estrogen. Inhibition of aromatase and reduction in aromatase-containing tissue (fat) is indicated. Suggestions include:
* Take the following supplements:
o Zinc—50 milligrams (mg)/day
o Acetyl-L-carnitine—1000 to 2000 mg/day
o Muira puama—850 mg/day
o Chrysin—1500 mg/day
o Piperine—10 mg/day to enhance absorption of chrysin
o Quercetin—500 to 1000 mg/day
* Lose weight to reduce aromatase activity.
* Reduce or eliminate alcohol to enable the liver to better remove excess estrogen.
* Review all current medications to see if they are interfering with healthy liver function. Common medications that affect liver function are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin; the statin class of cholesterol-lowering drugs; some heart medications; some blood pressure–lowering medications; and some antidepressants. Drugs being prescribed to treat the symptoms of testosterone deficiency (such as the statins and certain antidepressants) may actually aggravate the testosterone deficit, thus making the cholesterol problem or depression worse. However, do not discontinue any prescription medicine without consulting your physician.
* If all of the above fail to increase free testosterone and lower excess estradiol, consider discussing with your physician the use of the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole at the very low dose of 0.5 mg twice per week.
Lurkers, the Dec LEF article on natural Test boost omits HPTA suppression.
