What are estrogen blockers for men? Estrogen blockers reduce the amount of estrogen in your body. And it’s done by either stopping estrogen or limiting the amount. The most powerful estrogen blockers are the pharmaceutical ones. One of the most common pharmaceutical estrogen blockers is clomid. Other estrogen blockers are tamoxifen, anastrozole and letrozole.

If you decide not to go the pharmaceutical route and want to go the natural estrogen blocker route, then here are a couple:
• Grape Seed Extract– The extract in this compound has shown to act as an estrogen blocker particularly in postmenopausal women. And men can experience the same natural estrogen blocker effects.
• Wild Nettle Root– This has compounds that can act as natural estrogen blockers.
Some of the advantages of estrogen blockers are:
• Will increase sex drive
• Can reverse some cases of infertility
• Can potentially increase the amount of testosterone in the body.
• May enhance muscle mass gains.
Some of the disadvantages are:
• Formation of gynecomastia which is the appearance of breast tissue.
• Increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.
• Can potentially increase the risk of blood clots.
• Can heighten the risk of cardiovascular and heart problems.
If you have too much estrogen because of low testosterone, then taking Testosterone replacement therapy can assist with bringing down your estrogen levels.
The main goal of estrogen blockers should always be to rebalance your hormonal levels.
The Bottom Line is some of the best estrogen blockers for me are clomid, letrozole, tamoxifen, anastrozole. Some natural estrogen blockers are wild nettle root and grape seed extract.
