I took them for 6 months and the side effects were crippling. It has been 11 weeks now and I am clear headed, sleeping better, still have stiff joints and fingers not bending at all, but those are also side effects of radiation. I now take DIM plus, calcium, Vd3, selenium, Ve, garlic, and an immunotherapy vitamin. Have felt 80% better and improving every day. Went for mammo (1 yr) and ultrasound and should hear from Dr tomorrow. I will not put that poison in my body. It causes too many other issues. The starvation of all estrogen to the brain in that short time has now caused head tremors. No way.
My cancer coach is 9 years clear.

In my limited research on the subject of natural, plant-based aromatase inhibitors, it seemed to indicate that that study of phytophenols let to the development of current AIs. Also, I noted that there were a number of studies of phytophenolic natural products in the 1990s and early part of this century without conclusions of their efficacy. Taken together, I had concluded that the research community was not promoting them.
Perhaps you have recent and shareable research studies which can shed more light on the subject?
I did....Dr. Said am now in remission....2016 was surgery. Took Beta Toucan from health food store.
