- Pueraria Mirifica-The most potent phytoestrogen, targets E receptors, minor anti-androgen (daidzien)
- Fenugreek-Prolactin stimulate, increases production of estrogen, phytoestrogen, adaptogen
- Blessed thistle-Increases the flow of milk, (causes irritation of GI tract)
- Nettle root-Binds to SHBG, increases estrogen and testosterone
- Saw palmetto-DHT inhibiting effect, acts on progesterone receptors (causing a reduction in estrogen levels)
- Hops-Activates alpha estrogen receptors which stimulates breast growth, increases SHBG which binds free testosterone
- White peony root-Estrogenic, blocks 5-ar and pro-aromatase, strong
- Fennel-Promotes milk production, nutrient rich for NBE growth, stimulates the growth of breast tissue
- Wild yam-Stimulates hormone production, increases progesterone, prolactin, anti-androgen, and slows the metabolism of estrone, one of the body's own estrogens.
- Dong Quai-Balance hormones, assists breast enlargement, improves gland function activities
- Red clover-Minor aromatase inhibitor, highly estrogenic, Binds to alpha estrogen receptor
- Licorice Root-Anti-androgenic, activates alpha and beta estrogen receptors and blocks 5-ar, DGL is thought to have fewer side effects
- Anise-Stimulates breast growth by increasing E, (1980 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology)
- Black cohosh-Appears to bind to estrogen receptors, mimics hormonal effects of estrogen, estriol
- Alfalfa-Natural phytoestrogens, helps with menopausal symptoms, inhibits bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency
- Chaste tree-Corrects hormone imbalances, increases LH in favor of E and progesterone
- Maca root-Abundant in amino acids, phytonutrients, healthy fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, increase in energy and libido, adaptogen
- Goats rue-Builds breast tissue and increases milk supply
- Red Reishi-Significantly reduces levels of 5-alpha reductase (DHT)
- Shatavari-Phytoestrogen, normalizes estrogen levels, prolactin source, adaptogen
- Ashwagandha-Adaptogen, restores a sense of well-being, similar to Panax ginseng
- Dandelion root-Upregulates estrogen receptors, uses the estrogen you are putting in
- Damiana-For hormone imbalance, improve poor mammary gland development
- Milk Thistle-Cleanses the liver of excess hormones
- Chinese Skullcap-Inhibits 5-alpha-reductase enzyme
- Marshmallow Root-Inhibits Hyaluronidase, increases tissue permeability
- Watercress-Increases energy, high in iron and vitamin E
- Red raspberry--Balance hormones, promotes breast health
- Passion Flower-Calming agent that adds to total well being
- Senna-To increase absorption and effectiveness of herbs, eliminates toxins
- Pygeum-Reduces the level of DHT, reduces prolacting levels, Inhibits 5-alpha reductase
- Spearmint-Anti-androgenic properties reduces the level of free testosterone in the blood, while leaving total testosterone and DHEAS unaffected
- Flax-Phytoestrogen, increases SHBG, source of omega-3 fatty acids, Lignans (Flaxseed) are phytoestrogens with estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity.
- Oats-Phytoestrogen, decreases SHBG, source of zinc, iron, vitamins B6, vitamin E and amino acids
- Yogurt-Rich in vitamins, calcium and minerals, growth factors stimulate fibroblast proliferation, collagen, probiotic , and has lactic acid component
Always consult with a medical professional when having concerns about NBE and NBE supplements.
