Have any ladies tried reduce xt? Did you get any side effects?
After a week of using it I’ve developed facial hair, acne, oily skin all due to elevated androgen levels. This is definitely hormonal for me and it’s too bad because I really like the way I feel on it.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
I'm not really sure where to begin with this. On one level, this statement seems like something that deserves an enormous amount of skepticism and your reasoning seems extremely flawed. For one, as pointed out already, you were only using it for a week?
The issue is that 7-Keto isn't a hormone - it is a metabolite of a hormone and this metabolite cannot be converted back into any active hormones.
But there is some science showing that 7-Keto can have an effect on hormones - particularly an initial REDUCTION in testosterone - so your assumptions do not really jive.
Further, not to create a "you can't win" situation - but you took blood work a month before starting 7-Keto and then a few weeks after stopping? Why was that? Did you really take it in preparation for the 7-keto run? Was it routine? Or was there a reason you were having blood work done to begin with?
Using 7-Keto and assuming it caused a hormonal imbalance would be a mistake IMO. You should dig deeper. Lots of things change and people attribute an effect to all kinds of weird things, just because those were the things they were conscious of. You may have a different problem and you have misdiagnosed by attributing it to 7-Keto when it could be something altogether different.
Now, having said all of that - that's assuming we're talking about 7-Keto and such. What we are really talking about is Reduce XT which CLAIMS to be 7-Keto. I generally trust SNS as a decent company, but all kinds of things happen in this industry - spiking, fake products that may be labeled like SNS made it but it's a knock-off, you name it. And having said that, maybe another ingredient could be the culprit...an ingredient not listed on the label.
I would be extremely skeptical of saying 7-Keto had this effect though, and I certainly wouldn't be warning anyone about it as if I had facts or proof in hand.
