suggests that it has an anti-aromatase activity (which is also another reason I looked into it, to reduce estrigen in order to lose weight), but it also says:
Quote:Conclusions: The extract of Turnera diffusa and two isolated compounds pinocembrin and acacetin could significantly suppress aromatase activity. Moreover, apigenin 7-glucoside, Z-echinacin and pinocembrin showed estrogenic activity.
So it seems to have anti-aromatase activity with estrogen activity.
Thank you for clarification! So it isn't a way to go for those members who are living in a country with very strict import controls.
Luckily I have managed to get hold on some "bio-identical progesterone" cream, so for time being I manage pretty well.
In Europe progesterone in any form isn't available as easily as in USA due to EU:s regulations.
I dont think anything I've read so far before today suggested that Damiana was a source of Progesterone.
However that doesn't mean it isn't a source - just surprises me that it might.
Damiana is available in the UK. (Holland & Barrett usually has it, it's expensive there, ebay is a better source).
But of course not sure about other countries.
As for Progesterone, I thought the NOW brand Progesterone cream (that we talked about in the other thread) was available on ebay, that's where I bought mine, and that's the stuff with USP Progesterone. (maybe I should buy a bunch now then if it is going away??)
