A recently proposed variational mass expansion approach to dynamical chiral symmetry breakdown is reviewed. We briefly explain how a specific integral ansato over the analytically continued, arbitrary Lagrangian mass parameter, resums the usual variationalmass expansion ("delta-expansion".) The construction is then generalized to obtain non-perturbative expressions for the order parameters of the SU(nj)x, X SU(nf)n breakdown (nj = 2 or 3), in QCD. Emphasis is put on some general aspects as well as possible limitations of this approach.
