On his site, Wahaika has this to say about it: "Same as fenugreek for growth, additional potential as an estrogen receptor resensitizer since it works this way on the hypothalamus. Use in infusion." However, he has always recommended fenugreek over goat's rue, as far as I know. On top of that, very few people on here or other boards choose to take it, and it's never really been a popular recommendation. Is it avoided because it's such a powerful galactagogue, and lactation is terrible for BE? Fennel has certain unique effects unrelated to it's phytoestrogen content. Could that be why it's recommended over goat's rue? I'm very interested in the idea that GR is an estrogen receptor resensitizer, but I haven't been able to find any more info on the subject. Long story short, could someone replace the fenugreek in the usual big 3 combo (FG, SP, WY) with goat's rue and get similar or better results? If not, why not?
