Pueraria Mirifica Root Extract Powder

Pueraria mirifica root extract is the concentrated form of the root of the Pueraria mirifica plant, native to Thailand and Myanmar. Compared to the raw root, the extract is standardized to contain higher levels of its main active compounds — especially miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, which are the strongest natural phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) known.

What It Contains (Standardized Extract)

• Phytoestrogens:
• Miroestrol & Deoxymiroestrol → mimic estrogen strongly.
• Isoflavones → milder estrogenic effects (also found in soy & red clover).
• Flavonoids & coumarins: Anti-inflammatory & antioxidant.
