Hi, i have just read that antibiotics may inhibit the effectiveness of breast enhancement products by detroying the 'foreign' phytoestrogens entering the body. I am currently on a long course of antibiotics for acne and really dont want to stop them because my skin is a lot better when using them. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, i have read that when in large doses phytoestrogens can actually have a negative effect on breast growth because they block the estrogen receptors, but that in small doses they may enhance the effect of estrogen at receptors. I was going to add fenugreek to my perfect c tablets but am not sure about this now.

Your info sounds a bit garbled, but what I think you are referring to is this. Phytoestrogens do not have estrogenic properties when they are eaten, but become estrogenic during digestion. This means that you need to have adequate digestive bacteria to make phytoestrogens estrogenic Since antibiotics destroy bacteria you automatically have a problem.

Antibiotics destroy bacteria, but they destroy friendly bacteria as well as harmful bacteria. Because of that antibiotics can compromise digestion.
