I was hoping to find a list of herbs and what they do. After a couple of days reading on this website here are my conclusion. Please add or comment on the items I do not have right. I will try to update this list as much as possible. I would like for starters or converters of NBE to be able to understand/navigate the forums here. I was very much confused. And if I ever decided to stop the program and resume, I will have a nice list ^_^

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane):
Purpose: Supports healthy connective tissues like tendons,
ligaments, and muscles. Breasts are composed of connective
tissues. MSM helps with hair, skin, and nail growth.
Possible Side Effects: Might feel nauseaous, headache, or
diarrhea if taken in excess.
Notes: Get a higher quality of MSM, because the lower
quality of MSM the more trouble you will have. If you
have allergies to pine nuts and milk, you may want to
avoid this herb. To find out if you have a good/bad batch
check to see if the MSM has been purified by distillation.
Crystallization causes toxins to accumulate.

HOW TO USE THIS LIST
===========================================
This list is beneficial for use in determining the types of herbs you would like to take. By knowing what the herb does/functions, you can make a good program for yourself.
For example: Since SP, PM, and hops are sources of anti-androgen, you can take two and eliminate the other. (Thanks Isabelle!). So for the anti-androgen portion, you can take PM and hops.
===========================================
Notes
===========================================
I am still confused on how to make combinations of herbs to take. All I am assuming is not to take more than two of the same types.
Drink LOTS & LOTS OF WATER!! You don't want to dehydrate yourself and get kidney stones.
