Perhaps you mean phytoestrogen? Another commenter suggested that the applicable phytoestrogen found in soy may actually be protective against excess estrogen.
Idk I'm not a scientist
I get that. But you are making a number of statements/claims about the effects of estrogen on men, so at the very least it would help your credibility to get the word right. Hell, when I tried Googling "protoestrogen", the Google AI said it wasn't a word in any kind of normal use but was in a 1998 paper about the possible origins of estrogen.
Yeah sorry
