This is how Dr. Reiss treats his patients for the following conditions:
BREAST CYST/ BREAST PAIN

Women's Longevity Formula (Reproductive Years)

This is for woman under 45. This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin.

I recommend 2-8 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly. *

Women's Longevity Formula (Anti-Aging & Balancing)

This is for woman over 45. This is a vitamin, mineral and herbal blend I have been using for 25 years that I constantly update and change. Clinically, I find this product has great success. It is a basic multi-vitamin.

I recommend 2-8 pills twice a day. Take with food. When you are taking too much you will have indigestion, so you will want to decrease the amount and increase it back up slowly. *

This section is divided into three main categories:

A. Supplements to decrease estrogen level

B. Supplements to decrease water retention in the breast

C. Supplements to decrease inflammation in the breast

A. Supplements to decrease estrogen level

Red Wine Extract

This is a very unique extract of red wine with strong aromatization blocking activity.

I recommend 1-3 pills twice a day as needed. *

Indole 3 Carbinol

This is a unique cabbage extract that overall changes the balance of estrogen and strongly protects the breast from breast cancer.

This Comes as 400mg. I recommend 1-2 pills twice a day as needed.

Please note: those with a sensitivity to cabbage my have increased flatulence with this product.*

Estrogen Support

This is a propriety blend of DIM (a metabolite of Indole 3 Carbinol), Curcumin, and a special herbal blend called Bioperine, all used to enhance its absorbtion.

I recommend 1-2 pills twice a day.

Please note: may cause flatulence. *

There is a debate between the supporters of DIM and the supporters of Indole 3 Carbinol. From what I have studied, I believe most of the negative information on Indole 3 Carbinol is written by people that hold the patent for DIM. To make it simple, there is very strong evidence that Indole 3 Carbinol can be more beneficial for people with a family history and personal history of breast cancer. In my practice, for prevention and benign breast disease I use estrogen support. For family history and personal history of breast cancer, I use Indole 3 Carbinol.

Calcium D-Glucarate

This prevents reabsorption of estrogen from the gastrointestinal tract.

Each pill contains 500mg. I recommend 1-2 pills twice a day.*

All the supplements above can cause significant decreases in your available level of estrogen. Side effects of decreasing estrogen may be: depression, insomnia, hot flashes etc. In my practice I either decrease the level of supplements to a point where there is no symptom of estrogen deficiency or at the same time, I may add back, bio-identical estrogen to get you up to level.

B. Supplements to decrease water retention in the breasts

BioPMT

This is an herbal product that helps decrease breast water retention.

I recommend 1-3 pills twice a day. *

I recommend 1-2 pills a day. (For each pill of B6, you must take 1 pill of B Complex) *

Spectra B (B Complex)

Spectra B is a high-potency vitamin B Complex with mineral co-factors, zinc, manganese, and chromium. Spectra B supports optimal B Vitamin metabolism and promotes healthy mitochondrial function, glucose regulation, and adrenal response.

I recommend 1 B Complex pill per B6 pill. *

This is essential to prevent water retention.

I recommend 1-3 pills twice a day.
