Good to know, thanks Lotus, it's interesting how your own views around BO have shifted, your own experience wasn't great (unless it was just bad coincidence) and you were fairly anti use. Would you consider using it yourself now?

Hi Lisa, yes... My experience with BO ended badly, which pretty much ended my interest in using BO and pursuing research until recently. So, I began researching science based info on BO (for the benefit of others here) because I think we owe it to our community to have an updated version on the science of BO. 

Much of the information on BO is anecdotal, hearsay and misinformation… Or, like I say, BS. 

I've had issues when folks spread misinformation, for instance I just read today (from someone who should know better) make a claim that “breast growth isn't permanent”. I mean come on, really?Of course that's BS cause breast buds are permanent. 

Or, “the point of no return” nonsense after 6 months of using BO. There's no scientific to this absurd claim… more BS. Everybody is different, someone may be a fast metabolizer of meds/supps and experience faster results, and vice/versa to having a slow metabolism. 

I thought to myself I needed to rethink how BO is metabolized in bovine’s before it reaches the market for human consumption. 

Low and behold, the scientific research emerged (like a floodgate) on the benefits of BO… which I shared in this thread earlier. BTW, I don't think using bovine pituitary with BO is necessary because bovine ovaries have already been stimulated through HPA (hypothalamus pituitary axis), therefore more stimulation of the pituitary is redundant and quite possibly counterproductive. 

How do I know? I ran my own test trial using BO (w/pituitary glandular) and came to the conclusion to the above statement. 

In closing, determining the usefulness of BO is seeing how it reacted in the BO uterus and endometrium after it was synthesized by the ovaries. And, that's where (and why) I changed my position on using BO after seeing the science.

I believe BO should be considered an adaptogen/potentiator.
