- Flax-Phytoestrogen, increases SHBG, source of omega-3 fatty acids, anti-estrogenic activity/aromatase
- Goats rue-Builds breast tissue and increases milk supply
- Hops-estrogen receptors alpha ER-a (which stimulates breast growth), increases SHBG which binds free testosterone
- Ladies Mantle--The Tannis (6-8%) in LM causes contractions, protects conjunctive and elastic tissues, contains salicylic acid (a mild painkilling action) for painful menstrual periods, It's astringent increases blood flow for circulation and helps with saggy breasts.

- Red raspberry--Balance hormones, promotes breast health
- Red Reishi-Significantly reduces levels of 5-alpha reductase (DHT)
- Saw palmetto-DHT inhibiting effect, acts on progesterone receptors (causing a reduction in estrogen levels)
- Shatavari-Phytoestrogen, normalizes estrogen levels, prolactin source, adaptogen
- Senna-To increase absorption and effectiveness of herbs, eliminates toxins
- Spearmint-Anti-androgenic properties, reduces the level of free testosterone in the blood, while leaving total testosterone and DHEAS unaffected
- Watercress-Increases energy, high in iron and vitamin E
