One or two people have been sending me PM's lately. Probz cuz most of the real experts have dissappeared :p Anyway, it's amazing how much writing things down can clarify your thinking, and the same is true of having a sounding board in the form of another person. I noticed a while ago that most of the japanese women with extremely impressive NBE blogs were taking both PM and pig placenta, but fir some reason it didn't strike me as being especially important. Ginie used it as well and Ive said before that her program is my primary inspiration.

AbiDrew has made the case recently that animal hormones play a distinct role, different from phytoestrogens. Check out her thread for more info. I've heard that the estrogen (or was it progesterone?) in pig placenta is more similar to human hormones than other animal source hormones, but Ive never seen any actual studies to back up that claim. I have no idea how it compares to BO chemically, but pig placenta is one of the few supps that's virtually impossible to get in the US (unless your willing to buy it directly off of pig farm), so I guess it's a moot point. BO is the default choice of glandular therapy for me since there's plenty of anecdotal evidence for it, and I can buy it easily. Of course, it's possible that the pig placenta was really irrelevant to their growth. It's very hard to say.

I take my hormone test next month. Depending on the results, I will very likely add a low dose of BO to my program, but Ill probably need to change my PM dose if I do.
I might add pig placenta instead, if I can somehow get my hands on some. I dont want to go with lamb placenta because theres nit much evidence for it just yet.
