I already have my PM :3
this makes me want to look in fenugreek & now wild yam, I like that wild yam increases progesterone, prolactin, anti-androgen..
but what does phytoestrogens do? & anti-androgen for breasts, does anyone know?
Hi there missboobshirt,
The reason why Wild Yam is listed to contain progesterone in this thread,
Some of these creams have synthetic, or man-made progesterone added to them, although most don’t advertise this addition; if they do, it is often mentioned as natural progesterone. Wild yam is also sold as a capsule, liquid, dried root, and tincture to be taken by mouth. Some sellers combine it with vitamins, minerals, or other herbs, such as black cohosh (see Black Cohosh). In homeopathic medicine, the wild yam from the Dioscorea villosa plant is used fresh or dried and put in liquid extracts (see Homeopathy). The Chinese yam can also be used fresh or baked with flour or clay. Wild yam capsules and other forms are available in herbal shops and over the Internet. Dosages vary by manufacturer.

The prevailing evidence against synthetic estrogens must be understood alongside evidence about the effects of plant estrogens (phytoestrogens). Foods such as whole grains, dried beans, peas, fruits, broccoli, cauliflower and especially soy products are rich in phytoestrogens. Although scientific evidence suggests that plant-based estrogens offer nutritional benefits and are associated with healthy diets (Cederroth, 2009), the data are conflicting as to whether soy-based diets are beneficial, harmful or neutral in their effects on breast cancer risk (Andres, 2011; Rice, 2006).

Some of the disparity in the literature may be related to type of soy products or other phytoestrogen-containing vegetables consumed by individuals. For example, although two natural phytoestrogens found in soy — genistein and its metabolite genistin (both referred to as isoflavones because of their chemical structure) — have been shown to increase breast tumor growth in a number of different models, highly processed soy flour that does not contain isoflavones has no effect. Purified soy protein isolates are often processed to contain different concentrations of isoflavones, and their influence on mammary tumors is related to the amount of isoflavone, not the total amount of soy protein consumed (Helfrich, 2008).

Phytoestrogens can promote breast growth, while a potent androgen (DHT) prevents breast growth, anti-androgens (albeit from herb, pharma and even food sources) works to prevent androgens from preventing boob growth.
