AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON AROMATASE-INHIBITOR

Blocks estrogen synthesis by inhibiting conversion of progesterone and testosterone into estrogen.

Aromatase is produced in adipose tissue. It converts testosterone and progesterone into estrogen. This leads to obese individuals having high estrogen and low testosterone and progesterone. Aromatase inhibitors negate this effect. Many coumarin type phytoestrogens inhibit aromatase - commonly found in legumes.
