Hi, hi ! I'm new to NBE and don't have a clear idea on how to start or what approach to go with.
From what I could see through the forum threads, @surferjoe2007 seems to be the most comprehensive NBE program that doesn't require a lot of supplements or high priced herbs, however, I'm having a difficult time understanding the dosages and how to increase them after starting. Summarizing his NBE program, I'm wondering if I need to take the supplements that say "optional":
The key components of the example program are:
Here's the program I planned:
- maca root powder (good for stamina and maintaining libido levels)
- soymilk
- legumes (lentils, garbanzo beans/chickpeas, beans)
- Omega 3 (salmon, sardines, tuna)
- 50% saponin fenugreek or shatavari extract
- MSM
- saw palmetto extract
- breast massages
- workout / exercise
I'm not entirely sure if it will work or if there is any adjustment or corrections to be made, I understand that I didn't put in the dosages but I think surferjoe2007 has laid out a good dosage plan, I just don't really understand it. I'm also on birth control, the DEPO shot and when I asked my doctor if I can get a hormone balance test, she said I would need to get off birth control to test my hormones prior to birth control to see if I have a hormonal imbalance. I don't think I do since she explained the symptoms I would have if I did have a hormone imbalance but I thought it would be useful to know prior to starting NBE.

The key components of the example program are:
- 1. Nutritional mix (see above).
- 2. 3,000 mg MSM.
- 3. 300-1200 mg 50% saponin fenugreek or shatavari extract. Ramp up after a couple weeks or so.
- 4. 50-100 mg pueraria mirifica (optional). Cycling is not necessary. Use more if already top heavy, or if carefully balanced with progesterone (both your tested levels and progesterone cream). If you use more then you usually cycle it.
- 5. 1/8 tsp progesterone cream or 500 mg vitex (optional). Cycling is not necessary. Use more PC (and not vitex) if already bottom heavy, or if carefully balanced with estrogen (both your tested levels and a phytoestrogen such as pueraria mirifica). If you use more then you usually cycle it.
- 6. 1 320 mg capsule saw palmetto extract. Omit if libido disappears or if it seems unnecessary.
