I’ll be starting a new NBE program from today on. Read my last post if you want to know why I’m taking a break from pumping for now.
I decided to start a PM and progesterone cream program. I’m on birth control, so I won’t be cycling. I’ll be taking all these supplements all month long. I tried Ainterol PM a long time ago, but I think I gave up on it too quickly, and I was much thinner and a AAA at the time. I’m also not convinced that Ainterol isn’t adulterated with cheaper species of pueraria that don’t work as well true PM. I decided to try using a high quality standardized pm extract this time, instead of Ainterol. Purestrol is the only standardized pueraria extract available in the west as far as I know. It might be the only standardized PM extract in the world, but I’m not sure. There are only three brands that contain Purestrol. The brand I decided to go with is Amata Life.
This is what I’ll be taking all month long:
Phytoestrogens:
Amata Life Pueraria Mirifica Plus (which contains 100 mg of PM extract) twice per day, morning and night.
Anti-androgens:
656mg reishi extract morning and night
675mg white peony root extract morning and night
665 mg spearmint extract morning and night
Progesterone:
USP progesterone cream, one 20mg pump per day
For PCOS:
2000mg Myo-inositol, morning and night
50mg D-Chiro-inositol, morning and night.
Growth Hormone and IGF-1:
10mg MK-677 once per day. Mk-677 is a growth hormone secretagogue. This a grey market product (meaning that it’s not entirely legal since it was never officially released onto the market by it’s creators). It’s controversial around here, and for good reason. I’m not suggesting that anyone run out and buy it. I’m trying it out because I saw a study where researchers were attempting to do non-surgical breast augmentation by giving biological women huge doses of estradiol (a very bad idea that they abandoned). In their study the women who produced more IGF-1 in response to the estradiol grew a lot. The women who did not release more IGF-1 did not grow at all. That doesn’t mean that MK-677 will necessarily increase breast growth, but I haven’t responded well to any form of hormonal NBE before, so I’m trying it out regardless.
???:
Otsuka Placenta C Beauty Jelly, one stick per day. This is a strange jelly candy stick that contains placenta extract. People usually take it as a skincare supplement. I honestly only bought this on a whim because Chiyomilk used it, but I’m not sure it’s necessary and it might even be counterproductive since I’m also taking birth control and PM. Placenta extract contains estrogen, progesterone, possibly IGF-1, and some other unusual hormones that may or may not be useful for our purposes. After I use up my one month supply, I probably won’t repurchase it.
While I’m following this program I’ll also be following a diet high in protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, and low in carbs. I’ve already been doing that somewhat, but I haven’t been very consistent. I also plan to get more serious about working out regularly. If I actually stick to this part of my program, I should be able to stop taking the inositol after a few months, since it balances hormones by increasing insulin sensitivity.
