Herbal Supplement???

Anonymous

I am considering taking an herbal supplement for women.  I am concerned about whether it is safe for ER and PR +  and don't know about the safety of the ingredients, such as Ginseng, Acai Berry, Hawthorne Berry, Stinging Nettle, Saw Palmetto, Avena Sativa, Niacin, Zinc, and these are only the ingredients, I am familiar with and can pronounce.  Any information on whether or not those of us with hormone fed BC can safely take a vitamin herbal supplement like this?

At first blush, I don't see anything that jumps out...niacin and Zinc are important and Magnesium.  Acai Berry and Hawthorne Berry are very good too.  With some things having contra indications - just run in by the pharmacist to be sure - the Saw Palmetto would be the only one that I would question but better to check your meds list against it and get a for sure answer!

Lowrider54, yeah the Saw Palmetto, caught my eye, and I question it because of it's possible breast effects.
