hey isabelle,
so i usually mix the following...
1/2 tsp fenugreek
1/2 tsp saw palmetto
1/2 tsp wild yam
1/2 dandelion root
1/2 hops
1/2 maca
...together in a cup, throw some hot water on it ( its disgusting i know but i'm motivated lol) and drink it in one shot. Is it okay to mix all the herbs together and take it like that or it is better to ingest each herb separately?
In addition, i know when hops is ingested in different ways it can be a phytoestrogen OR an anti-androgen. when it is ingested with food it becomes a phytoestrogen correct? to ingested with food would i just throw it into whatever i'm eating or would i swallow the hops by itself then eat right after? Sorry if the questions may be stupid, just wanted to be sure of what I am doing.
btw, say for example if I add red clover to this regimen, would the combination including the red clover allow me to have estrogen excess but not be estrogen dominant since red clover is 1/2 phytoestrogen and 1/2 phyto-progestin?
Thanks as always
