I made the gradual switch from SP to LR as my SP was running out and I was wanting to make a switch to something with a bit more 'kick'. And LR certainly has kick, as everyone warned. I only take LR about 3 times a week and fluctuate between 2 capsules and 4 capsules: sometimes I do 2-4-2 and other times I do 4-2-4, depending on how I physically feel. I have found that spacing out LR intake is best. Too much at one time has led to minor migraines. Has it 'worked'? Like I said, it's only been a month but in the past month I've made the most substantial progress. I'm not entirely sure if LR is the reason for this or if my body was just going through a growing phase. Nevertheless, I'll stick with using LR until the bottle runs out and then see where I go from there.
One question: Is it best to take you AA like an hr or so before PM or PM an hr or so before your AA or does it matter?
Good question E, I think it makes more sense to have the path ready or open so to speak for the binding to occur. In this case (scenario) AA's have shut down those receptors and making them unavailable for synthesis , so once aromatase occurs and there locked then it's possible for AA's to work. A good example of this is how 5-AR's work, they bind up free T before the conversion takes place to DHT.
This is why (and proof) of how free T can be converted to E with aromatase, and WP is so far the only choice in herbs (IMO) with the exception of some foods.

Hey there Sammie,
From what I've come across about LR and WP is that there often paired (suggested or complimented for each other) when trying to purchase them.
Hugs!
Wow.Lotus.Thank you,you can help me very much.You have better and better idea.androgen blocker/estrogenic too this is great!
What is that aromatase?
What it means: blocks 5-ar?
is extract more effective than capsules?
Well i have a little confusion.
I take PM 1000 mg now,I'll be careful LC 250 mg /third days
And what is the white peony right dose with these together?
This is the rank: one day PM/another day LC and White Peony?
furthermore: does not Maca work against estrogenic?
Another thing,The effects that i could see:
I loose my libido.Luckly.I don't need to see porn.I hated it otherwise,this "urge".
And my hand gestures were more feminine.I have been suprised,i cannot see other effects.I think about my skin for example.Perhaps i have high level of testosteron.
My body hair is relativley strong.
Do you had experienced change on your face,after that more use of NBE?
dear lotus do you know if peppermint works as good as spearmint ?..I only managed to get peppermint..turns out it tasted crazy amazing and I can't stuff drinking it <3 aw man you have to try dis stuff...anyway.....is this good for nbe ...I hear it is estrogenic so will it interfere with pm? (you know estro clash) ?_? is it an-andro thingy ?
can I keep drinking it cause I really love it =/
thanx

you can use other mints. Cornmint has the same effect for lowering testosterone. but be careful of some mints' toxicity. Pennyroyal can be deadly with 1 tablespoon of extract. Other mints have way less of that harmful chemical. Peppermint and pennyroyal listed here

Hey there rocket,
Well, according to a 2007 (pay study) Peppermint has a stronger estrogenic activity, so we know that phytoestrogens exert there activity through ER-(estrogen receptors) mediated transactivation as the binding induces phytoestrogens ER's to act as ligand-dependent transcription factor.
Just remember that tea inhibits iron absorption:

So, imo (peppermint) activates receptors, and PM needs a metabolic activation to help it work better.

thank you lovely11 & lotus =]
and as lovely said it can be used an anti-androgen so it's fine without spearmint ...... lovely11 link showed peppermint is a lil cross bred plant...(des plants spearmint & water mint have being getting in on ;] ) so it's got the genes of spearmint which makes it a--OK right ?..and it's not as toxic as corn-mint so "yay" then (=
so you feel if peppermint activates receptors it's good to mix with pm?
and overall peppy peppermint is something I can take
as long as I watch muh iron levels... do you know foods good for promoting iron absorption or counteracting peppy mint's bad behavior ?
(= it's really a nice tasting tea ..I wonder if spearmint is this nice ...I take a whole lot not just for nbe but taste is great!
aw thnx everybody ;] lotus/lovely

Mints are probably better for males who are doing nbe to take. I forgot to mention, mints increase LH and FSH which are given to cause multiple pregnancies. It might start menstruation sooner. it might extend it too. For women, one dose would be good to help the body go through menstruation.
