Good work, Its always great to see someone who enjoys researching, of course I'm biased in that regard.
Another great resource is actually BN, you'd be surprised how much info has been covered. I still find it very useful, EVE M (our site admin) has said in the past 'you'll find as good if not better research inside our forum'. We've have some legendary researchers here, which has motivated my interest in the technical side of NBE ( the more you know the better you grow, lol).
Wild Yam - also contains an anti-androgen (β-sitosterol), WY increases progesterone receptors, although falls a little short in converting them though lol.
Estrogen activities and the cellular effects of natural progesterone from wild yam extract in mcf-7 human breast cancer cells.

You should look into Isabelle threads if you've got the research bug.

It is one of the two metabolites of natural estrogens. Wild yam may keep your estrogens levels up, by not letting them leak away to 16α-hydroxyestrone. But it's not watertight, because your natural estrogens will still leak away to the other metabolite, 2-hydroxyestrone.
There's so much to learn, good luck!
lotus; is there or could there be a pre-cursor for converstion of the diosgenin? how do they do it in the lab?
