Hormones belong to different groups of substances, the most important of which are the peptide hormones and the steroid hormones. The specific effects on the cells of the target organ is exclusively based on the fact that only these cells are equipped with the necessary hormone receptors. Hormone receptors are usually proteins that change their conformation and activity according to their binding state. They elicit a signal within the cell that controls the cell’s metabolism. Thus only the receptor-containing cells are signal receivers.
What is Phytohormone?
Many different plants produce compounds that may mimic or interact with
estrogen hormones in animals. At least 20 compounds have been identified
in at least 300 plants from more than 16 different plant families (1). Referred
to as phytoestrogens, these compounds are weaker than natural estrogens
and reside in herbs and seasonings (garlic, parsley), grains (soybeans,
wheat, rice), vegetables (beans, carrots, potatoes), fruits (date, pomegranates,
cherries, apples) and drink (coffee).
When consumed as part of an ordinary diet, phytoestrogens are probably safe and may even be beneficial. In fact, phytoestrogens have been investigated as possible cancer preventatives and as treatments for menopause and osteoporosis (1). Laboratory animal experiments and comparisons of Asian and Western human populations suggest that diet has a large role in these types of health problems. One study found that Asian populations that eat large amounts of soy products - which contain high levels of phytoestrogens - have lower rates of hormone-dependent cancers (breast, endometrial) and a lower incidence of menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis than do Westerners, who don't traditionally eat these products. Asian immigrants to Western nations also increase their risks of these maladies as they Westernize their diets to include more protein and fat and reduce their fiber and soy.
Even short-term exposure to phytoestrogens may offer some long-term protection against some cancers, including breast, colon, prostate, liver and leukemia. According to some animal studies, phytoestrogens (mostly the soy-based compounds) eaten as part of an adult diet can protect against some types of cancer and may even inhibit tumor growth. Another animal study found that newborn rats injected with genistein (an isoflavone found in soy products) and then exposed to a cancer-causing agent later in life developed fewer tumors and waited longer to develop them than the nonexposed rats (1).
Natural Estrogen is the only phytoestrogen product that's been proven to
work in a clinical trial on human body. Dr. Barry
Gushleff
recently completed a study of 381 menopausal women given Natural Estrogen.
There was dramatic improvement in symptoms such as hot flashes, headache,
nervousness, sleep disturbances, and depression in 87% to 92% of the patients.
Most of the women who participated in the study are still taking Natural
Estrogen. Many of them have been able to stop taking estrogen drugs such
as Premarin.
Summery:
Phytoestrogens are non-hormonal plant estrogen. These compounds are weaker than natural estrogen and reside in herbs like Fenugreek,Soya,Wild yam,Dong quai, Saw palmetto,Black Cohosh etc.
Phytoestrogens have been investigated as possible cancer preventatives and as treatments for menopause and osteoporosis and also for breast enhancement.
Products like Breast Success,Newcurves use these phyto estrogen to enhance brest.These phyto estrogens bind themselves with estrogen receptor sites in breast surface and fool the body into thinking that estrogen has been introduced.

Breast Enhancement Pill Study Report
By
a random selection, we selected for our study 124 women in the age from
18 to 48 years having no physical illness.
After studying one of the popular herbal enlargement pills available in the market (Breast Success)we come to the conclusion that herbal pills certainly can't give you a overnight 38DD breast but as it seems to us from various study reports and testimonials,boobs can be increased by at least 1 to 2 cup size within months if combined with other non-surgical methods like pumps.
