The capsule I am taking right now says 1000mg but it is from 100mg of 10:1 extract, does that mean I am only getting 100mg of effective doseage out of one capsule? I also saw on the Ainterol website that they sell extract and powder, I don't mind spending the time to prepare the powder but how much should I take daily for the 1500mg recommended by others? And how does doseage of the powder form translate to the extract form?

Quote:So a solid cycle could look like:
1 estrogenic herb
1 pro-hormone
1 pro-aromatase
1 potentiator (vitamins/minerals, etc)
1 anti-androgen
Quote:You only need one [[Anti-androgen]], such as Red Rishi, White Peony or Saw Palmetto, but there are others if you cannot get these.
You only need one [[Phytoestrogen]], such as [[Pueraria Mirifica]], [[Fenugreek]], [[Red Clover]], [[Fennel]] (there are so many)
and hopefully, a [[Progesterone]] source, such as [[Wild yam]].
Additional useful supplements, such as MSM, Vitamin C, Calcium/Zinc/Magnesium supplement, might be likely also locally available.
Quote:[[Estrogenic Herbs]] :
- [[Pueraria Mirifica]] - Awesome for breast growth.
- [[Red Clover]] - Minor [[Aromatase inhibitor]], but highly estrogenic. Binds some to alpha estrogen receptors(boob growth receptor).
- [[Hops]] - Not as estrogenic as [[Pueraria Mirifica]] or [[Red Clover]], but activates alpha estrogen receptors which stimulate breast growth.
[[Pro-Hormones]]:
- [[DHEA]] - The direct building block of other hormones
- [[Fish oil]] - provides plenty of good fats and nutrients for hormone production.
- FATS/Protein - Go to town. The more fats you take in the more your body has for hormone production. Cholesterol is a direct building block for all other hormones. No more 'light' anything. Whole and saturated fats.
- Bovine ovaries - Also estrogenic, and I think pro-aromatase, as well as 5-AR inhibiting.
[[Pro-Aromatase]]:
- [[Peony Root]] - Estrogenic, blocks 5ar and pro-aromatase - Strong.
- [[Genistein]] - Estrogenic and pro-aromatase
- [[Licorice]] - Anti-androgenic and activates alpha and beta estrogen receptors and blocks 5-ar - Strong, but take in moderation! [Link with more info.](http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2011/11/licorice-more-estrogenic-than-estradiol.html)
[[Potentiator]]:
- [[Dandelion root]] - Good for detoxing the liver, and upregulates estrogen receptors so your body uses the estrogen you are putting in.
- [[Nettle Root]] - Binds to [[SHBG]] (hormone that binds to excess hormones decreasing hormone levels), and decreases 5ar and aromatase. Taking this tends to increase estrogen and testosterone. Would need to be taken with a pro-aromatase, and maybe estrogen.
- [[PABA]] - Decreases breakdown of estrogen in your body so you have more free estrogen.
- [[Gaba]] - Increases growth hormone
- [[Grape fruit]] - Slow the breakdown of estrogen
- [[Deer velvet]] - Increases growth hormone
