When most men think about hormones, one word comes to mind: testosterone. It’s the one that gets all the credit for muscle, strength, energy, and drive.
But here’s the thing few men realize: you also have estrogen. And if your estrogen gets out of balance, it can affect your performance, your health, and even how you look in the mirror.
I learned this lesson the hard way. A few years ago, I was training consistently and eating clean, yet my energy tanked, I carried stubborn fat around my midsection, and my motivation slipped. When I finally got tested, the results surprised me: my estrogen levels were too high.
That moment changed how I approached men’s health forever. It also inspired me to help build EstroControl, the solution for men facing the same battle.
Do Men Have Estrogen?
Yes, even though most men think of estrogen as a “female hormone,” we produce it too. And you actually need it to stay healthy.
Here’s why:
-
Sexual Health: Estrogen works with testosterone to regulate sex drive and erectile function (1)
-
Heart Health: Normal estrogen levels support cardiovascular function and blood flow (2)
-
Bone Strength: Estrogen helps keep bones strong and lowers the risk of fractures (3)
-
Brain Function: Estrogen receptors in the brain influence mood, memory, and focus (4)(5)
The issue isn’t estrogen itself: it’s when you have too much of it. That’s when your testosterone-to-estrogen ratio slips out of balance, and your health and performance take the hit.
What Causes High Estrogen in Men?
Several factors might raise estrogen levels in men:
-
Aging: As testosterone naturally declines with age, estrogen may become more dominant (6)
-
Excess Body Fat: Fat tissue contains an enzyme (aromatase) that converts testosterone into estrogen—so more fat often means more estrogen
-
Alcohol Use: Drinking heavily can increase aromatase activity and disrupt hormone balance (7)
-
Certain Medications: Some drugs (like steroids, antidepressants, or heart meds) might influence estrogen production.
-
Low Testosterone: When testosterone drops, estrogen can take the upper hand

Signs Your Estrogen Might Be Too High
If you’ve been noticing stubborn fat around your belly or chest, losing muscle despite training, feeling low on energy, or struggling with mood swings and a weaker sex drive, it might not just be “getting older.” These are common signs that your estrogen levels could be out of balance, working against your testosterone instead of with it.
That’s the real issue: it’s not about having estrogen: it’s about keeping it in balance so your body works the way it’s meant to.
The Science Behind Estrocontrol™: What’s Inside and Why It Works
Why Balancing Estrogen Is Key
Men don’t need to eliminate estrogen. You need some for health. The real key is balance: enough testosterone to fuel your performance, and just enough estrogen to protect your health.
That’s where EstroControl comes in.
How EstroControl Works
We formulated EstroControl to support men’s hormone health by helping the body keep estrogen in a healthier range. It doesn’t aim to eliminate estrogen completely, because men need some, but instead works to encourage better balance.
-
Supports Liver Function: The liver plays an important role in processing hormones. EstroControl is designed to support healthy liver function, which in turn may help maintain balanced estrogen levels.
-
Helps Promote a Leaner Physique: By supporting hormone balance, EstroControl may make it easier to maintain a lean, defined look.
-
Supports Cognitive Function: Balanced hormones are linked to clearer thinking and sharper focus. EstroControl includes ingredients that support mental performance.
-
Helps Reduce Occasional Fatigue: When estrogen and testosterone are in balance, many men report feeling more consistent energy throughout the day. EstroControl is designed to support this process.
-
Supports Confidence and Drive: When your hormones are balanced, you may feel more motivated and in control. EstroControl is designed to support that process.
The result: you stay leaner, stronger, and more in control of your body.
Does EstroControl Work?
I get asked this a lot, and I honestly understand the skepticism. With so many under-dosed or poorly researched supplements out there, it’s natural to wonder: is Beyond Alpha legit?
The answer is yes. We’ve built our reputation on formulas that are grounded in science, tested for quality, and designed to support real results. EstroControl isn’t about wiping out estrogen. it’s about supporting healthy balance.
I’ve seen it in my own bloodwork and performance, and in countless men who’ve supported their hormone balance with it.
Final Takeaway
Estrogen isn’t just a female hormone. Men have it, men need it, and when it’s in balance, it helps keep you healthy. But when it’s out of control, it can hold you back from looking, feeling, and performing at your best.
EstroControl was built to help men strike that balance. To give you the benefits of estrogen where you need it, and the testosterone power where you want it most.
At the end of the day, it’s not about choosing between hormones: it’s about keeping them working for you, not against you.
