Hi NotSobusty,
Even pure fish oil lowers Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). Lowering SHBG releases free testosterone. Free testosterone becomes dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT cause breakouts, and chin hair.
Your flax seed oil capsules may be better than whole flax seeds for this purpose. Flax seed oil increases SHBG. Try taking a flax seed oil capsule with each aminoacid formula capsule, and each time you eat fast carbs.
The breakouts may become worse because of the flax seed oil too, because flax seed oil inhibits aromatase. You need aromatase to make estrogen from testosterone. Try not to take more than two flax seed oil capsules a day.
The roundness is from the fennel. If you adjust the cocktail, you can make any shape you want
Hi lled,
Green tea can be anti-estrogen and anti-androgen at the same time. I got it off the acne forum, but they're still debating whether green tea really helps:

If you don't trust green tea, try spearmint or peppermint tea.
I don't know if DIM is an anti-androgen. Check the acne forum: they should know.
Thank you Susan,
I use that list a lot indeed. My emergency formula contains more than half of what's on that list. But I never need it, because hops is also an anti-androgen. I am not a fan of using too much anti-androgen: weepy, depressed, unable to cope with stress, etc.
Note that vitamin B6 and zinc are also on the list. Vitamin B6 between 2 and 10 mg a day, and zinc between 13 and 35 mg a day, should already do a lot.
