Vana B... thank you so much for this info!
I am ecstatic because this validates pretty much everything that I have been thinking for years about NBE, herbs vs bioidenticals, etc.
I would consider the Co-Pilot discussion to basically be the NBE "bible". Certainly a great guide for newbies but for everyone else as well.
I have always discouraged people from trying the shotgun approach, where they use every product that is mentioned as being of some value, and combining them all, in hopes to get fast results... or taking mega-doses of any product. One's program should be kept simple, using as few proven products as possible to attain one's goals.
An Estrogen source.
A Progesterone source.
An Anti-Androgen source.
BO is a thing of its own. Works great for some people, not for others.
In general, I feel that bioidentical topical creams are the simplest, easiest and most effective regimen.
However, if you can't get them in you part of the world or for whatever reason, herbals are your preference, for a symbiotic effect, I recommend a combination of Fenugreek, Fennel and Red Clover (one cap of each/daily for starters). Though any one of those can be taken alone. Top brands are Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs (esp for PM) and Swanson (esp for BO) All available at Amazon. On a side note, the only multivitamins that ever made a real difference for me are, New Chapter.
Start with low doses, be consistent, pay attention to your body. Expect some loss of libido because you are shifting your hormone balance, so it's inevitable.
