If you have enough of the weaker RC phytoestrogens to flood all the estrogen receptors it'll also block real estrogen. Thus it's also in female balance formulas meant to combat excess estrogen, even though the RC itself still provides a little estrogen effect. I've seen 1500-2400 mg recommended for this purpose, maybe less (500 mg?). RC contains a very large concentration of the weak phytoestrogens so it shouldn't take much to flood receptors, but I don't know how much RC that is. Smaller amounts of RC so as to not flood the receptors should be fine. Or hops is a stronger phytoestrogen, and pueraria mirifica is a much stronger phytoestrogen. You can browse other threads to find the right amount of those.
