Buti think if im taking the spironolactone and its helping with the acne, that taking the maca with it should be fine since it should balance it out.

First off, it is probably your excess androgenz dat is causing your acne.  Maca will increase your testosterone or it might balance you will have 2 see if it workz.  Also, because U are takin a medication bein able to take natural supplementz now becomez hard because anything U take might counter or effect your medication or your body in a bad way so if U take medicationz U must ask your doctor about each herb.  I have never heard of people gettin cystz wit saw palmetto, saw palmetto blockz da testosterone da causez acne.  I say try da Saw Palmetto first and see what happenz but remember 2 get da clear from your doctor or you could hurt your health with da saw palmetto with spironolactone.  I got rid of my cystic acne going vegan, most of acne is bad eatin habitz

Maca makez your butt bigger because it increasez da DHEA in your body and dat (most of da time) turnz into testosterone in a womanz body and testosterone buildz muscle.  Men build muscle faster than women because of their testosterone levelz.  Maca is an adaptogen which createz DHEA and dat will read da hormonez in a personz body and will made DHEA into either estrogen or testosterone.  Now, if your hormonez are balanced dat meanz U have more estrogen in your body because U are a woman so da DHEA will make testosterone and you are buildin muscle on da top of your butt.  Muscle on da bottom, U have 2 do gluteus maximus exercisez.  Fish oil containz testosterone as well it grew your gluteus maximus.  Get a hormone test and see where your hormonez are at and dat will help your journey.  Wild Yam is a phytoestrogen but if U are estrogen dominant it will not help U it will only make thingz worse.  Wild Yam is also a prolactin and anti-androgen so more than likely it will go to your breastz before your butt.  If U have excess fat or weight on your body it will have a harder time reachin your butt as well

Nope, is a matter of fact Isabelle on Breast Nexus advisez dat U stay away from aromatase for breast or butt growth, she didn't say why, I should ask her.  If EPO doez somethin for body typez goalz da only thing dat it might be is a phytoprogestin (progesterone) which is for balancin and breast growth, it doez not help wit da butt (unless U have excess estrogen or are estrogen dominant)

Correct, I have been havin a hard time findin info on what kindz of phytoestrogenz are in it to confirm dis.  One thing I have found is dat it doesn't effect men if they eat it which makez me suspect dat Aguaje "re-activatez" a womanz estrogen.  I will continue to look and tell U more about it later but as far as I/we know here it is a phytoestrogen.

You're welcome gurl, it was mostly Isabelle dat gathered da info I just confirmed it so if U belong to breast nexus go thank her too.  Dis info was long past due, I was tryin 2 do da research myself but it was takin a long time.  Knowin da answer first and then confirmin it worked twice as fast

I learned some interestin stuff from my research

I read dis thread on Breast Nexus and then did some research 2 confirm it and Isabelle is right about all dis she is well known as very very knowledgable on BN: if U don't believe it do da extended research

What I learned:

Phytoestrogens
Plant estrogens. They bind to estrogen receptorz in da body to activate them

Phytoprogestins
Plant progesterone. In breast enhancement they grow da milk glandz and alveolas.  They are used to balance estrogen and progesterone

Aromatase
Aromatase is a plant enzyme dat digestz and transforms testosterone into estrogen

Androgens
These are testosteronez

DHEA
Da body makez estrogen or testosterone out of DHEA

Prolactin
A hormone dat causez milk production and swellin in da breastz.  Constant swelling causes growth due to tissuez bein stretched.

Adaptogen
An herb dat producez DHEA in da adrenal glandz

What Common Body Types Herbs Are
Pueraria Mirifica - Strong phytoestrogen and an anti-androgen
Flaxseed oil - a weak aromatase inhibitor (stops testosterone from turnin into estrogen) andweak phytoestrogen
Fenugreek - Very weak phytoestrogen (it'z not usually used as da main source of phytoestrogenz) a phytoprogestin and prolactin
Fennel - Phytoprogestin and weak prolactin
Evening Primrose Oil - Nothing, but believed to be a phytoprogestin
Hops - Phytoestrogen and anti-androgen
Wild Yam - increasez body's natural progesterone, prolactin, anti-androgen, and slowz down the breakdown of human estrogen.
Spearmint - anti-androgen
Peppermint - anti-androgen and weak phytoestrogen
Saw Palmetto - anti-androgen and possibly anti-estrogen
Goat's Rue - Prolactin
Maca - Adaptogen producing DHEA
Borage oil - Anti-androgen
Dandelion Root - weak phytoestrogen (little data on it)
Red Clover - Phytoestrogen and phytoprogestin
Blessed Thistle - Phytoestrogen

Myths POSSIBLY busted:
-Evening Primrose Oil is mostly known as a phytoprogestin
-Borage Oil is not an aromatase but a anti-androgen
-Fenugreek does have phytoestrogens but they are very weak, Fenugreek is mainly used for the prolactin and phytoprogestin
-Flaxseed oil is a phytoestrogen but it is very weak, it is also a anti-aromatase
-Red clover is also a phytoprogestin so be careful
-I couldn't find a true answer about Dong Quai it is still unknown
-Wild Yam is progesterone, prolactin, and anti-androgen it has little to no phytoestrogens it maintains the body's natural estrogen but it is not a phytoestrogen which bindz 2 estrogen cellz and activatez them, it simply preserves estrogen.
-Fennel is a phytoprogestin and a prolactin not a phytoestrogen
