The abstract of Botanical modulation of menopausal symptoms: Mechanisms of action? shows yam which has the same active chemical as fenugreek, diosgenin, to have possibly both progesteronic and estrogenic properties.
Apart from that, from fenugreek's specific action, its main action is the same as progesterone.
A different subject, "Botanical modulation of...", shows how kudzu (related to P. Murifica) is believed to have an estrogenic and serotonic (this potentially translates to prolactin) effect.
If fenugreek isn't Estrogenic do you think I am missing an Estrogenic herb in my program? I take fenugreek, dandelion root, white peony tea, Msm and a protein supplement. Any suggestions or tweaks?
