Drew BairdHigh testosterone and androgen levels in PCOS can be responsible for symptoms such as acne, hirsutism (male-pattern hair growth), androgenic alopecia (male-like baldness/hair thinning), mood issues, and irregular menstrual cycles.
HERE ARE THE 5 SUPPLEMENTS TO LOWER YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVELS
1. ZINC [20-30MCG DAILY]
Zinc helps to reduce the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase which converts testosterone into a far more potent androgen called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone).
This will help to reduce excess hair, acne, mood changes, all associated with high testosterone levels.
2. DIM (DIINDOLYLMETHANE) [100MG DAILY]
DIM is a natural substance caused by the digestion of vegetables such as kale and broccoli. DIM helps to block androgen receptors and inhibit the aromatase enzyme. This will help to better manage hirsutism (hair growth) and acne.
