Estrogen is defined as the main sexual and reproductive hormone in women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men have estrogen but in much smaller amounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to various factors, estrogen levels in men can become too high. When that happens, various symptoms occur and affect your quality of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are ways you can balance your hormones. Green tea is often dubbed effective for this purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does green tea lower estrogen? Read on to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is green tea?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green tea<\/a> is a tea made from leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis<\/em>, a species of evergreen shrub or small tree native to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, green tea comes from the same plant as black tea. The difference is that unoxidized leaves are necessary for green tea, whereas oxidized leaves are used for black tea production. Basically, leaves are grown the same way for both teas, but they are treated differently after harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, green tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages. What\u2019s more, the value of the green tea market in 2019 was $13,000 million, and it is expected to jump to $20,000 million by 2026. In other words, the value of this market grows consistently, and it\u2019s all due to high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is estrogen dominance in men?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Estrogen dominance<\/a> doesn\u2019t only affect women. Men can experience this problem too. In men, progesterone production takes place in the testicular and adrenal tissue. As men age, the declining progesterone levels lead to a reduction in testosterone levels too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estrogen dominance occurs when both progesterone and testosterone levels are too low or insufficient to balance estrogen circulating in your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, estrogen dominance can occur even when your estrogen levels are normal as long as progesterone and testosterone are low. But in most cases, men have low testosterone<\/a> and higher estrogen<\/a> due to lifestyle and other causes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, estrogen dominance<\/a> occurs due to alcohol consumption, obesity or being overweight, an unhealthy diet, and exposure to environmental estrogens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms of estrogen dominance in men<\/a> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
