 | | Pueraria mirifica Airy Shaw and Suvatabandhu is an indigenous herb of Thailand, known in Thai as "Kwao Kreu" or "Kwao Kreu Kao" (White Kwao Kreu), It belongs to the Family Leguminosae, subfamily Papilionoideae or the soy, bean and pea subfamily. |
 | | It is quite likely that phytoestrogens from Pueraria mirifica will work just the same or even better than isoflavones since, in the previously mentioned toxicity study in rats, a very significant reduction of blood cholesterol levels in all groups of Pueraria mirifica-treated rats was also observed. |
 | | When Pueraria mirifica is taken as a dietary supplement, its phytoestrogen constituents will naturally alleviate symptoms occurring as a result of the aging process and a deficiency in estrogen levels, e.g., sagging breasts, wrinkled skin, bone loss, gray hair, etc. These aging signs and symptoms will, to a certain extent, be reversed. |
