The idea behind BO is NOT that it has female hormones (though it certainly does), but that it supposedly reprograms your system to produce female hormones instead of predominantly male hormones.predominately.
Theoretically you are "reprogramming" your pituitary to direct your endocrine system to produce female hormones. The theories further propose that after about 6 months this change in your endocrine system is permanent, hence the claim that you won't need a long term maintenance dose. I believe the general recommendation is also that it takes something like 2 to 3 months before noticeable changes start to become apparent and the typical first signs of that are changes in the areola and nipples.
Hope this helps.
