Caution for those who may be new to the ASCB group or this subject:
From reviewing the web site, it appears that these products contain
phytoestrogens and plant progesterones.
If you have ER+ or PR+ tumor pathology, the plant-sourced hormones may
have the same effect on tumor growth as your own body's
estrogen/progesterone do, i.e., could help cancer cells to thrive,
essentially counteracting your Tamoxifen, Aromisin, Arimidex, Femara, etc.
While there's some controversy over whether phytoestrogens behave like
your own bodily estrogens, this is an area where you should research the
question and use extreme caution.
Just because it's a plant doesn't necessarily make it safe, of course!

I was ER/PR- and HER2 negative and was told to stay away from them.
Soooo....it sounds to me that like Ann said just because their "natural"
doesn't automatically make them good/better for us. I was given a Rx for
Premarin also and never used it after I read the enclosed
literature...not good for those that have had breast cancer. PERIOD!
Take care there/God bless

Ultimately.....we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a
freedom.
"Courage"...is *fear* that has said it's prayers.
