At this point I lost count of the number of of users who were on B.O. to little or no success. I’m not talking 10 users, but closer to 100. Even longer term users of two-three or more years didn’t see major results. I only know of one user that saw some gains, and even then she switched to HRT.
So, my advice is not to take it. Even Lotus has written extensively about not using it.
Best of Luck to You.
I do have to agree, if anyone has a history of blood clots, honestly any HRT is a risk, and either PM or BO is essentially writing a suicide note. It seems to me that the standalone benefits of BO vary greatly by person and by some variables in the supplement. However, i do believe that it can have a place in the program of somebody who hasn't had a blood clot. I feel like if PM and HRT don't mix for risk of blood clots, and PM and BO don't mix for risk of blood clots, we should assume that PM is the problem child here. between a phytohormone and an animal hormone, you can assume that the animal one fits better at similar blood levels.
actually, anybody have results for mixing PM with HRT? this forum doesn't have the best search functions so i can't just search "PM HRT" and get posts for people who incorporated PM with HRT. But what i do know is that there is a list of people who have gotten similar issues as Stevenator from taking PM. The real issue is taking too much stuff out of impatience. High dosage was the case with both Stevenator and Lotus, iirc. Feel free to correct me on that though, Stevenator.
Biggest reason i see for taking Bovine Ovary is possibly in accompaniement to HRT, since people have noticed increase in prolactin and growth hormones from taking it. do fact check this though, because it seems everybody has a different story about every thing, NBE or even with traditional HRT.
tl;dr don't take PM or BO if you have had a blood clot, too risky. but if someone's risk for blood clots is low, either is fine.
