And what happens to zinc and magnesium and the issues associated with too little of them such as hypoglycemia and depression, when the cause of the excess estrogen (pill, pregnancy, menstrual, other) ends?
"The connection with estrogen, the female hormone Postnatal depression, depression during menopause and depression after stopping the anti-conception pills all have the same cause. These three situations have in common a decrease of estrogenvalues in the blood. After pregnancy the estrogen levels decrease, during menopause the estrogen levels decrease and after quiting the anti-conception pill the estrogen levels drop to normal levels (during pregnancy and anti-conception they are increased). Estrogen causes a higher absorption and use of magnesium and zinc. Estrogen is normally associated with pregnancy. During pregnancy the body needs more minerals en estrogen takes care of the higher absorption. The estrogen enables a female to get just enough magnesium out of a low-magnesium diet. When the estrogen levels drop, the magnesium absorption drops and hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency) is the result. This can then cause a severe depression or diabetes or hypoglycemia or many other problems. The anti-conception pill is often used to heal acne. Possibly this works because the estrogen increases absorption of zinc, which is essential for a healthy skin."
