Does Macelignan Affect Male Testosterone Or Estrogen Levels?

default
Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2014
Question: Would it be safe to expose the male buttocks to Macelignan and other ingredients in a topical solution? (Macelignan: an active ingredient from nutmeg seeds, it acts on the cell differentiation process of the adipose tissue, which simply means it interacts with the fatty tissue in the buttocks, causing the fat cells to grow in quantity and volume.) Could this affect male testosterone or estrogen levels and be dangerous to males?

Hi Dr.

Thank you for answering my question. Were you able to review the product on the website? I also attached a screenshot of the ingredients. Do you feel as if all of the ingredients listed on the product should be safe for topical use on the skin without the chance of affecting hormonal balance or libido in men? This is my main concern as I have read that phytoestrogens can have a negative affect on men, but I have not heard about topical isolated solutions.

Again, thank you greatly for taking the time to answer, sir.

Brief Answer:
Checked- no issues

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have reviewed the contents.
I think none of them will cause the affects you are worried about.
Of course, most of them come onto purview of a homeopath or ayurveda specialist
But I have seen the background of these compounds and conferred with some concerned specialists.
Libido should be safe
Best of luck
Dr Mittal
