I already babbled the Mr. Larry about these but if anyone else has any insight, I'd apprecaite it before I swallow my first pill. LOL
I got my bottle of PLUS from Mannatech today- it says it is to support optimal endocrine health.
Here are the ingredients:
*Wild Yam (root) 200 mg
standardized for 25 mg phytosterols
*L-Glutamic acid 200 mg
*Glycine 200 mg
L-Lysine 200 mg
L-Arginine 100 mg
Beta Sitosterol 25 mg
Ambrotose Complex 2.5 mg
All this stuff is french to me. For all I know it could be rat poison. Any ideas??

Spriggy you have to be especially careful with herbs. That has become the first question my new pdoc asked me and also the psurgeon. They can interract very badly with other medications. Make sure you bring it with you to the docs. Fondly, Phillipa

Wild yam contains steroid precursors.

Beta sitosterol is a very common plant steroid. It's in many different herbs.
The amino acids might help boost libido a bit, or be stimulating.
Here's a doctor's review of Ambrotose (which is nothing more than larch gum (from Larix decidua). The dose here is trivial, even if the stuff is useful.
http://www.ds-health.com/ambr.htmBasicly, the stuff is unlikely to hurt, and might help with "female problems".
