[Lotus]

Lotus, not sure if my NBE IQ has doubled. I had to read your post at least three times until I understood it. Maybe it is because english is not my first language and it is written very complex or maybe it is just because I am blonde, lol. But I think i got it now.

I would like to ask you if you could edit your post and add to point 1) which herbs are PRO AROMATASE herbs, like white peony root + licorice root or if there are other ways how to increase the activity of aromatase (with food maybe??).

Please add to point 2) which herbs inhibit 5α-reductase, like pygeum, chinese skullcap, reishi, white peony and licorice.

Thanks. :-)

That's a great idea Peggy and yes, I will edit and add those items. Btw, you're doing great, I'm only including the basic description so trust me, I had to read multiple times myself. The important thing is that we're learning what happens when we put things in our bodies and the reactions that occur.


Here's one thing to consider about enzymes,-some household products use enzymes to speed up biochemical reactions (e.g., enzymes in biological washing powders break down protein or fat stains on clothes; enzymes in meat tenderizers break down proteins into smaller molecules, making the meat easier to chew).

Next, I will attach a diagram about digestive enzymes that will be easier to understand.
