Hormone-Sensitive Conditions and Herbs: Cautions Sources List for SodaPeak's Names
People with hormone-sensitive cancers or other hormone-sensitive conditions should ask a physician before taking herbs that act like hormones. Memorial Sloan Kettering advises avoiding Epimedium with hormone-sensitive cancers and says wild yam has estrogenic effects. It describes saw palmetto as having antiandrogen activity. SodaPeak lists all three.

Cautions01
What do sources say?
That three of the eight names carry hormone-related cautions.
| Name | Source note |
|---|---|

| Wild yam | Estrogenic effects; talk to a physician first with hormone-sensitive cancers (MSK, Wild Yam) |
| Saw palmetto | Described as having antiandrogen activity (MSK, Saw Palmetto) |
| Boron | Might affect steroid hormone function; sheet does not address men's testosterone (NIH ODS, Boron) |
Meaning02
What does hormone-sensitive mean?
That a condition can be affected by hormones, so a product that acts like one may matter.
Which conditions count is a clinical question. This site does not list them, because only a clinician who knows your history can say. What it can say is that the sources above flag these names, and that no source says the blend is safe for such a condition.
SUPPORTS HEALTHY MUSCLE*
A structure/function line: the star leads to the FDA statement. No source linked here tests SodaPeak. Muscle responds to training on 2 or more days a week, protein and sleep, and the sources on this site say so. (FDA, Structure/Function Claims) (CDC, Adult Activity)
Test Boost Proprietary Blend 1200mg
A blend name and one total. The panel prints no amount for any of the eight names, so the real split is unknown. The blend name is not a finding: no study tested this blend. (21 CFR 101.36 (eCFR))
ADVANCED FORMULA
A product description. It names no ingredient, amount, test or standard. (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements)
*Daily Value Not Established
No Daily Value exists for these names, so the panel cannot show a percent of one. It is not a measure of how much to take. (FDA, Q&A on Dietary Supplements)
