Wow, thanks for this info!

So, to summarize, I've got a better chance at achieving my goals going with a low dose of PM, rather than working with some weaker phytoestrogenic herbs, right?

And then offset that somewhat (is that what you mean by balance?) with some SP or zinc? (I currently take both; any ballpark for the dosage?)

(Sorry if I'm beating this to death. I've been known to do that occasionally, or so I've been told. I claim it's an occupational hazard of being an engineer. )

Like they say, YMWV

It's not scientific, just my opinion!

But since your just starting off, I'd say keep in the normal range (recommended amounts). Members often supplement with weaker herbs, meaning there's no one magic pill, if it did exist, it'd be a big seller. But the overlap between supplements is undeniable, and can be tricky or even dangerous when you don't know what you're doing! So best to go slow until you learn the ropes and how your body reacts to each supplements. Introduce them one at a time, and give it time on each. The compulsion is when you first get the supplements is to start gulping handfuls at a time, (guilty) Do not do this people!!!, not worth the risk!

Slow and steady!!
