Pueraria Mirifica is a rejuvenating dietary supplement extracted from the plant of the same name. With its naturally high content of specific phytoestrogens (miroestrol et dioxymiroestrol), it is traditionally used for reducing the effects of the menopause and increasing breast size. However, the scientific literature shows it also offers many additional benefits for health.
Also known as ‘kwao krua’, pueraria mirifica is a plant indigenous to Thailand, the benefits of which are largely attributed to its exceptionally high content of phytoestrogens, natural molecules able to mimic the action of oestrogen sex hormones.
Pueraria mirifica contains 3 types of phytoestrogen (1-2): isoflavones (genistin, genistein, daidzein, daidzin, kwakhurin, tuberosin, puerarin, mirificin, and puemiricarpene), coumestans (coumestrol, mirificoumestan, mirificoumestan glycol) and chromenes (miroestrol, dioxymiroestrol, et isomiroestrol). These compounds are all structurally similar to the hormone oestradiol which is necessary for maintaining fertility and secondary sexual characteristics in women. Oestradiol is important for:
Miroestrol is the phytoestrogen with the most significant oestrogenic activity. It is chemically very similar to oestriol, the oestrogen considered to be the safest for men (3-5).
Attention: Pueraria mirifica should not be confused with Kudzu (Pueraria hirsuta) which has different properties and uses.
In their comprehensive guide, ‘Pueraria mirifica: benefits of the wonder herb‘, Drs Richard Passwater and Margaret Ritchie describe in detail the scientifically-validated properties of this plant.
Last but not least, the scientific literature has also identified very interesting anti-ageing properties for this plant (6).
Some of the phytoestrogens in Pueraria mirifica, such as daidzein, may be converted into more active molecules when they come into contact with gut flora. However, this conversion depends on the composition of this microflora, and appears to be more effective in vegetarians (7).
Taken under the guidance of a skilled therapist, the supplement Pueraria mirifica may be considered as a safer and more effective alternative to hormone replacement therapy, the potency of which can lead to an increased risk of blood clots and even certain cancers. Pregnant women should not take phytoestrogen supplements.
To boost its effects against menopause symptoms, it can be combined with other supplements available to buy at Supersmart such as the natural liposomal progesterone cream (extracted from wild yam) while symptoms persist. It can also be combined with the bone-strengthening supplement Bone Health to reduce bone loss, or with the aphrodisiac Damiana extract to add extra spice to your sex life.
