For comparison, (a Starbucks coffee may contain up to 150 mg and caffeine free coffee may contain between 4 to 7 mg). Question: Does the Milk Thistle, (Silymarin) in Protandim have estrogen like effects? Answer: No. The estrogenic effects of Silymarin are well studied. Below is the abstract of a study that found no binding of Silymarin to the estrogen receptor alpha ERalpha. Binding to ERalpha would be a cause for concern in estrogen sensitive breast or uterine cancer patients. Silymarin is an agonist (positive effector) for the ERalpha receptor, whereby it can positively affect bone density. Question: Does Protandim interfere with any prescription drugs? Answer: Just like prescription drugs, the ingredients in many Supplements are metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidneys in the urine. The ingredients in Protandim, however, are primarily metabolized and excreted by the liver into the bile. This difference decreases the likelihood of Protandim interacting with other over-the-counter products or with prescription drugs. In fact, after years of public availability and use, we know of no significant drug interaction with Protandim. Question: Should I continue to take my other vitamins and anti-oxidants? Answer: Some Western diets are lacking in certain traditional elements, some multivitamin supplementation may be beneficial for some people. You can discontinue supplementing with antioxidants, however, because Protandim is more effective at eliminating free radical damage, then supplementation with conventional antioxidants.
