Nelson Montana - How Much ???

[StephenDFW]

Mr. Montana,

I have been reading your posts and find them extremely interesting. I also enjoyed reading your book. I have done many searches on here trying to find out the amount to take of several substances you recommend but have come up "dry". It would be a great help if you could recommend a daily amount of the following:

1. Stinging Nettle - mgs? x a day? on/off AAS cycle?

2. Avena Sativa - mgs? x a day? on/off AAS cycle?

3. Calcium D-Glucarate - mgs? x a day? on/off AAS cycle? Also, are you concerned this will also remove other excess hormones (i.e. natural test and/or AAS) besides estrogen?

4. DIM - mgs? x a day? on/off AAS cycle?

5. Anything else you would recommend ?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. If anyone else has any info on the above it would be a big help as well.

Dosages are approximate. Some experimentng is in order.

Stinging Nettles -- only for BPH 1000mgs 2X's a day.

Avena Sativa -- 1000Mgs 2X's a day -- every day on and off.

Calcium D Glucarate -- 750 mgs 2X's a day to control excess estrogen -- if necessary, whenever necessary. Don't take for maore than 2 weeks in a row.

DIM: 100mgs 2X's a day. Same as above

And yes, too much of either CDG or DIM can give similar negitive side effects of Clomid or Nolva such as lowered libido and increased LDL -- unsure if it raises SHBG like Clomid.

Nelson Montana,

Thanks for answering back so quick.

Dumb question but what is "BPH"? I believe it is dealing with prostate. I just got my PSA done and it was 0.56

Calcium D Glucarate -- 750 mgs 2X's a day to control excess estrogen -- if necessary, whenever necessary. Don't take for more than 2 weeks in a row.

How long should one stay off the CDG and the DIM before starting on it again?

Can they be alternated without any time between (ie. 2 weeks CDG, 2 weeks DIM, 2 weeks CDG, etc...)?

I appreciate all the help. I am 39 years old and just qualified for prescribed HRT and I am looking for the healthiest way to do it. I get estrogen based bloat and fat very easy.

Great info, thanks Nelson.

I can answer BPH (personal experience):

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition that affects the prostate gland in men. The prostate is a gland found between the bladder (where urine is stored) and the urethra (the tube urine passes through). As men age, the prostate gland slowly grows bigger (or enlarges). As the prostate gets bigger, it may press on the urethra and cause the flow of urine to be slower and less forceful. The word "benign" means the enlargement isn't caused by cancer or infection. The word "hyperplasia" means enlarged.

Nettle root inhibits the binding of DHT to attachment sites on the prostate membrane. Nettle extracts also inhibit enzymes such as 5 alpha reductase that cause testosterone to convert to DHT. It is the DHT metabolite of testosterone that is known to cause benign prostate enlargement.

Doublebicep, thanks for the info. I guess I am OK in that area since my PSA showed 0.56 and normal is <4.01 ng/ml.

Is there any need to take a lesser dosage to keep from getting any problems? If so, how much?

Nelson, how about the 2nd part of the follow up questions?

Thanks
