Bones really have estrogen receptors? That is soo cool. Do you know which herbs work for relaxin or increasing hip size?

If I remember correctly, bones have ERβ.

I haven't heard of relaxin until this thread, but... it is a hormone that is released by the corpus luteum. MESH: Relaxin . This only shows that there is a such thing as "relaxin receptor". MESH: Relaxin Receptor

By knowing this, I can tell you that, since the corpus luteum is only available during pregnancy, and during the luteal phase inside the ovaries, Progesterone or Prolactin herbs during the luteal phase are likely to raise it. During other times, prolactin herbs and progesterone herbs are unlikely to have an effect on relaxin.

The Corpus Luteum releases Progesterone, and Relaxin; It also raises Estrogen.

Prolactin (and possibly Progesterone) herbs taken during the luteal phase signal for the corpus luteum to not disintegrate, by lowering LH. It is normal for the menstrual cycle to vary a few days, but try not to skip two cycles in a row.

Vitamins, especially vitamin D, is important here too.

I still don't know of relaxin's main effects here, but it is the corpus luteum that seems to cause the traits.
