Hi everyone! First time poster 
I am currently on HRT (Estradiol monotherapy) + Dutasteride. I’m looking to maximize my breast growth potential (and overall fat redistribution). I’ve done quite a bit of research on Breast Nexum, specifically diving into Lotus's "Project X," but I still have some specific questions.
I’m aware that adding phytoestrogens to an injectable Estradiol regimen is generally counterproductive, as the weaker phytos might compete with the bioidentical E for receptor sites. I plan to avoid them.
I’m very interested in adding a pro-aromatase, which seems logical given the Dutasteride in my system. However, finding reliable sources is tough. White Peony Root is the gold standard but it’s extremely difficult for me to source where I live.
Forskolin: I’ve heard it induces aromatase expression, but I’ve also read it can simultaneously increase testosterone. Could borage oil be a viable alternative?
Does anyone have suggestions for other reliable aromatase inducers?
I’m curious about natural anti-androgens. I’ve read some mentions of Lemon (specifically lemon water) potentially blocking the CYP17 enzyme to suppress T levels. Is there any truth to this or did I misunderstand the mechanism?
Are there other effective ways to lower T levels naturally (without increase SHBG levels)? I know having a small amount of T is beneficial for growth, but I want to ensure it’s properly managed.
Aside from the above, I want definitely to integrate:
Vitamin D3
MSM
Amino Acids
I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully combined pharmaceutical HRT with these specific NBE principles. Thank you!
