I'm so pleased its helping your wife. The releif you get when something works is immense.

Sadly I think while this is great for women it could lower t levels too much in men. The men I know who tried it seemed to get really depressed.

I think for women tagamet, zantac and Spiro are all probably worth trying. As they won't have the issues around testosterone.

Even so you're making me want to give it a go!! Sadly my window for experiments has come to a close as I am about to start a new job so doubt I'll be able to try it anytime soon which is annoying.

I do agree, Spiro is worth a try for women, especially those with acne issue and signs of high Hepcidin (attention deficit, restless legs), as Sprionolactone has also shown to reduce Hepcidin
