Pueraria Mirifica

Although research into the use of Pueraria mirifica is fairly limited, several smaller studies have found that the herb is beneficial in treating common menopausal symptoms. A 24-week study published in Menopause in 2007 supported an earlier study in the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand in which Pueraria mirifica improved vasomotor symptoms (such as hot flashes and night sweats) in 37 women experiencing menopause. After 24 weeks, women provided a daily 50-mg dose of Pueraria mirifica experienced the same level of relief as those given 100 mg per day. Pueraria Mirifica has been shown to alleviate vasomotor and other menopausal symptoms. The herb reduces FSH and LH levels in menopausal monkeys suggesting that an oestrogen-like effect exerts negative feedback to pituitary gonadotrophin (Peptide hormones that regulate ovarian and testicular function and are essential for normal growth, sexual development and reproduction) release. FSH and LH levels returned to pre-treatment levels upon cessation of the Pueraria supplementation. 

Pueraria Mirifica has also been found to decrease serum parathyroid hormone and calcium levels in aged monkeys suggesting reduced bone loss. Flavones from Pueraria roots were found to prevent uterine atrophy and prevent increases in total cholesterol and triglycerides that typically follow rapid declines in system-wide oestrogen levels. This study also showed that Pueraria Mirifica limits the increase in abdominal fat stores that occur in ovariectomised menopause animal models. A human clinical study demonstrated that Pueraria lobata, a close but less potent relative of Pueraria Mirifica, improves cognitive parameters and attention span compared to placebo. Mirifica has also been shown to increase sex drive. It can also increase vaginal moisture.

Another study done in Thailand where a group of women were given a Pueraria Mirifica supplement for one month. At the end of the study, the subjects noticed a significant decrease in night sweats and hot flashes. In fact, many of the women started to notice an improvement within one week. Pueraria Mirifica contains a compound called miroestrol (A phytoestrogen, a plant-derived chemical that mimics the biological activity of the hormone oestrogen). Researchers believe that this is the active constituent for alleviating menopausal symptoms. 

A clinical pilot study found that Pueraria Mirifica at either 50 - 100mg daily for 6 months reduced perimenopausal (Around menopause) symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats. Serum estradiol increased slightly with no detectable changes in FSH or LH levels. A larger follow up clinical trial compared the effects of Pueraria Mirifica to conjugated equine oestrogen, with and without medroxyprogesterone. There were no significant differences between treatment groups with respect to climacteric symptoms, and all participants reported some relief of vasomotor, urogenital, and psychological symptoms. There were no significant differences in FSH, LH, or serum estradiol levels between the groups, indicating that Pueraria Mirifica was as effective as conventional pharmaceutical therapy.

Women who are looking for an alternative to breast augmentation often turn to Pueraria Mirifica. One study has suggested that 70% of women who use Pueraria Mirifica notice an increase in their breast size. Not only does it increase breast size, but it can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Many sellers of Pueraria Mirifica claim taking the capsules will add 1 to 3 cup sizes to your breasts and will make them fuller and firmer by stimulating the development of the mammary tissues and glandular tissues. Women in Thailand have been using the herb for decades to add firmness and fullness to their breasts.

Peuraria Mirifica has been featured on UK television and had articles in mainstream newspapers showing how Mirifica has actually worked for over 90% of women used it. Typically Pueraria Mirifica gave women gains after just 2 months. Further tests have given great news in that Peuraria Mirifica doesn't have to be taken repeatedly. After around 2 or 3 months, changes can be permanent. Remember this does is specifically for breast growth, Ancient Purity recommends continued use under the cycling regime for the other benefits.

A 24-week study published in Menopause In 2007 investigated the use of Pueraria Mirifica in doses range from 10 - 50mg and concluded that it was far more effective in reducing vaginal atrophy (wasting) and alleviating vaginal dryness and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) than a placebo. More recently, a 2017 study published in Menopause reported that a vaginal gel containing Pueraria mirifica was nearly as effective as conjugated oestrogen cream in preventing vaginal atrophy. Although the following information talks about topical use of Pueraria Mirifica, we still want you to know about its overall abilities. It may be an effective topical therapy for promoting the health of vaginal tissue and treating vaginal dryness. Also you are able to get creative with these Pueraria Mirifica capsules and add them to a natural gel and apply yourself. The decreased production of oestrogen and progesterone can affect the thin layer of moisture that coats the vaginal walls. 

A 28-day study in postmenopausal monkeys evaluated the effectiveness of a gel containing 1% Pueraria Mirifica on vaginal tissue. The topically applied gel significantly improved the tissue’s health, pH, and skin tone. Similarly, a recent 12-week study in 71 postmenopausal women with various uncomfortable vaginal symptoms evaluated the efficacy of a Pueraria Mirifica cream compared to a standard oestrogen cream. The Pueraria Mirifica cream significantly improved symptoms of vaginal irritation and dryness. Nonetheless, the study concluded that the oestrogen cream was more effective overall. Though these results are promising, more research is needed to understand how the plant may be used to support vaginal health and whether its benefits are better than other conventional treatments.

Pueraria Mirifica may also benefit your heart health especially since heart health may be affected by decreased oestrogen levels during and after menopause. Oestrogen is involved in the metabolism of fats and sugars within your body. Reduced oestrogen levels can negatively influence factors that affect your heart health, such as higher cholesterol, increased inflammation, and weight gain. One 90-day study in rabbits with low oestrogen production on the effect of Pueraria mirifica on artery function found that the supplement significantly improved blood vessel function, compared to the control group.

The plant may also improve heart health due to its potential effects on cholesterol levels. HDL or “good” cholesterol plays a role in keeping your arteries free from plaque. Thus, higher levels of this type of cholesterol promote heart health. Conversely, having higher levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol is associated with a greater risk of heart disease. Therefore, lower levels of this compound are favourable. A 2-month study in 19 postmenopausal women concluded that taking Pueraria Mirifica supplements increased HDL cholesterol by 34% and reduced LDL cholesterol by 17%. These studies point to a possible heart-protective effect of Pueraria Mirifica in certain populations. At this point, larger human studies are needed to draw conclusions regarding the specific role the plant supplement may play in preventing heart issues.

Pueraria Mirifica is known to have powerful anti-ageing benefits... As the body ages, hormone levels begin to slow or stop altogether, which can cause various issues in some individuals, including fatigue, thinning hair, decreased libido, wrinkles, and more. However, Pueraria Mirifica’s Phytohormone content, which mimics the effects of our body’s own hormones, can help restore hormone balance to the body and alleviate many symptoms associated with ageing. These Phytohormones known as Phytoestrogens adhere to the hormone receptors similar to how the body’s own hormones work.

When the herb is consumed, its Phytoestrogens increase blood circulation and bind hormone receptors in various organs, which help restore hormone balance in the body. Pueraria Mirifica is a great choice for people who want to naturally fight ageing. This supplement contains flavonoids and miroestrol compounds, which have all been shown to be effective for fighting ageing. A reduction in grey hair and cellulite, increased energy, improved memory and improved circulation are some of the benefits reported after taking Pueraria Mirifica.

There are other factors that lead to thinning hair for women such as stress, insufficient nutrition, hair follicle inflammation, and depression. Pueraria Mirifica eliminates clogged hair follicles, balances the hormones, boosts blood flow, helps hair grow healthy, and nourishes the scalp and hair follicles to prevent hair loss.

Hair loss could also be due to poor supply of nutrients and blood to your scalp. Pueraria promotes healthy heart by improving blood circulation throughout the body while maintaining hair health. Pueraria Mirifica nourishes plus increases scalp blood circulation to improve hair growth. Historically in Burmese and Northern Thailand folklore it is said that Pueraria Mirifica can darken white hair. Ancient Purity doesn't recommend Pueraria Mirifica for men becuase it boosts oestrogen, but for trans-genders who are losing hair and happy with oestrogen increase, Mirifica would be a good choice.

Some of the great information we have on Pueraria Mirifica was originally understood through a publication of the booklet containing the reference to the plant's use in ancient times, with the author Luang Anusan Suntara claiming in his publication use of the ingredient reduced wrinkles, got rid of grey hair, improved eyesight and memory, along with other benefits. The plant's name originates from the Latin puer 'boy', 'child' and mirificus 'wonderful', 'miraculous'. And this truly is a miraculous natural gem!

Evidence of the use of Pueraria Mirifica can be definitively identified as early as the 13th Century AD. The ancient capital of Burma, known then as Pookham but now called Bagan, was one of the most important centres of knowledge in the Asian region until being sacked and partially destroyed by Kublai Khan's Mongol invasion of the late 13th Century. In 1931 a text was discovered secreted within the walls of a Buddhist temple that predated the Mongol invasion. Originally written on palm leaves, and translated into English and published in 1931, the document includes the instructions.

Pueraria mirifica is a famous plant in Thai traditional medicine. The tuberous root of this plant has been used for over 100 years regarding its estrogenic efficacy.The phytochemical constituents of this plant including chromenes such as miroestrol (MI), deoxymiroestrol (DMI), and isomiroestrol (ISO) and isoflavonoid class such as genistein, daidzein (and their glycosides form, puerarin, genistin, and daidzin), and kwakhurin, have estrogenic activity. Nowadays, the plant’s roots have been reported as strong oestrogenic properties in the MCF-7 cells proliferation assays, yeast oestrogen screen test assays, in vivo studies and clinical studies. Pueraria Mirifica is presently used as the main ingredient in the health and cosmetic products that widely distributed in the global markets. Ancient Purity provides Mirifica Pueraria capsules filled with 100% pure root powder, which is the most effective.
