I've ordered two Carlyle brand items off of Amazon: Pueraria Merifica 10:1 Extract , as well as their red reishi 5:1 extract (175mg polysaccharides). I did this before finding Lotus' Project X in the forum, so now I realize I should order a brand of PM like Barlowe's (powder capsules rather than extract).

What kind of effects and timeline can I expect from the PM extract (less effective) and red reishi versus the PM powder and red reishi? I will incorporate MSM and progesterone cream as well if I start seeing modest effects from the PM and red reishi.

I have earlier tried several extracts, and they didn't work. Many others have also similar experiences. I am speculating that the ineffectiveness is due to the extraction process, which leaves important estrogenic substances behind. For instance,one well known phytoestrogen, puerarin, is poorly soluble in many common solvents, including water. (ref. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332223003694#bib35). 

In my opinion therefore extracts, especially water-extracted ones, don't contain much of the the components we want, promoting breast development. I don't like to carry bad news, but the fact is: I would not hold my breath waiting and expecting any results . Maybe you should order Ainterol or Barlowes or any other proven by other members to work?
