Breakdown of program
Phyto-estrogens:
hops flowers (also called "cones" or "strobiles")
pueraria mirifica root
licorice tea (estrogen, progestin, anti-androgen, and increases prolactin)
red clover flowers (50/50 phyto-estrogen and phyto-progestin)
soy
shatavari tea
yellow dock
sheep sorrel
wild yam (not a phyto-estrogen, but blocks metabolism of estrone to 16α-hydroxyestrone)
fenugreek seeds contain little phyto-estrogens, but also increase natural estrogens a little because they contain diosgenin
milk thistle
blessed thistle
dandelion root and leaves
Fusarium, a fungus, makes zearalenone, a very estrogenic mycotoxin:
barley, oats, hops (can contain fusarium)
malt (certainly contains fusarium)
maize, wheat, buckwheat, rye (often contain fusarium)
Foods are checked for zearalenone nowadays. Anecdotal evidence from the past has influenced the composition of breast enhancement formulas.
Phyto-progestins:
licorice tea
fennel seed tea
red clover
yucca
thyme
oregano
fenugreek and wild yam contain diosgenin, which increases progesterone and prolactin
Anti-androgens:
hops cones
spearmint tea (peppermint is more estrogenic)
saw palmetto berry
stinging nettle root
pumpkin seed oil
borage seed oil
zinc < 80 mg
vitamin B6
azelaic acid (in rye, barley grass, whole grain cereals)
secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG), the main lignan in flax (linseed)
β-sitosterol
Java tea (orthosiphon extract)
pygeum bark
wild yam and pueraria mirifica root (because they contains β-sitosterol)
Androgens:
oats (because it decreases SHBG, releasing free testosterone and dihydrotestosterone)
maca root increases estrogen and testosterone
citrus
To increase prolactin:
fenugreek seed
fennel seed
goat's rue (galega officinalis)
black seed (nigella sativa, black cumin)
basil
dill
caraway seed tea (carum carvi, wild cumin)
aniseed
blessed thistle
barley grass
Human Growth Hormone:
hops
fenugreek
barley grass
GABA
serotonin (= 5-HTP + Vitamin B6)
L-arginine
L-glutamine
L-tyrosine
bee pollen
L-dopa
high intensity exercise
Growth Factor:
deer velvet extract
glandular therapy (bovine ovary)
pig placenta
lamb placenta
vitamin B complex:
vitamin B6 2-10 mg
vitamin B12 50-80 µg
Folic acid 200-400 µg:
in vitamin B complex or multivitamin
spinach (preferably frozen), asparagus, broccoli, avocado, lettuce
beremeal
Vitamin C, D, E:
in multivitamin
vitamin C in rose hips
vitamin E in almonds
Zinc 12-35 mg:
seafood (oysters!), meat, chicken, dairy, oats
never skip a day: the body can't store zinc
Protein:
meat, chicken, fish, eggs
fortified shakes with milk protein powder
no soy: slows the thyroid (or take kelp and L-tyrosine with it)
Healthy fats:
borage oil (highest in GLA, prostaglandin precursor)
omega 3 (flaxseed oil, cold pressed = without lignans, chia seeds, no fish oil)
omega 6 can cause acne (GLA is an omega 6 fatty acid)
evening primrose oil contains less GLA than borage oil, makes androgen excess worse
coconot oil (saturated, can be used for for frying)
Butt:
maca root
aguaje
Waist hip ratio:
fenugreek seed
goat's rue (galega officinalis)
black seed (nigella sativa)
wild yam (hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic)
milk thistle
Grow hair nails lashes:
millet, apple core, oats (contain silicic acid)
horsetail, equisetum arvense, contains silicic acid
gelatin
MSM
collagen
