I've been digesting a lot of the science from Lotus, Tanya Marie Squirrel, and others... obviously this takes some time, and a lot of cross-referencing.
Desired: breast growth, along with other external feminine characteristics (hair, skin, body shape)... not all that can happen through diet/supplementation, i.e exercise and mechanical (pumping, massage) can and do have a role. But I'm more interested in the phytopharmaceuticals right now (plus I'm kinda of lazy - my activity level depends on how long the grass is is
)
Looking at my program ingredients, it appears I'm not maximizing some of the building blocks.
Starting with DHT blocking: inhibiting 5 alpha reductase (5AR). I don't appear to have much in that department. I was thinking the lignan (flaxseed) but that's not really showing up as being key... Need some GLA- gamma-Linolenic acid.

GLA - wikipedia
GLA is obtained from vegetable oils such as evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) oil (EPO), blackcurrant seed oil, borage seed oil, and hemp seed oil. GLA is also found in varying amounts in edible hemp seeds, oats, barley, and spirulina
What about Coconut oil?
Lotus has compiled quite a bit about CO, but I remain concerned about the saturated fat levels... I don't plan on writing off CO altogether, but if you're already struggling with cholesterol issues, make sure you understand the potential impacts (and get tested regularly while you're using it):

What else for DHT blocking?
White Peony
Project X 3487

A water/ethanol extract of Radix Paeoniae Alba is known as total glucosides of peony (TGP), which contains more than 15 components, including paeoniflorin, albiflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin, oxybenzoyl-paeoniflorin, paeoniflorigenone, lactiflorin, galloylpaeoniflorin, paeonin, paeonolide, and paeonol (Zhang et al., 2001; Tan et al., 2010)
Azalaic Acid: I'm still digging into this one...
Project X post 3540
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16343028
So, at minimum, I should be dropping the flax seed oil, and going for EPO, maybe a little CO, and White Peony.
The azelaic acid has topical possibilities, but I'd like to know more about its effects on DHT in the hair follicles.
More to come...
