Kwao Krua Kao Overview
Super phytoestrogen Pueraria mirifica is a unique herbal hormone supplement. The ground root bulb herbal powder is unprecedented in terms of women's health, menopausal symptoms, longevity from its rich content in Mirosterol that activates the bodies natural female hormone receptors. It's also an excellent topical skin care & beauty treatment for removing wrinkles and sagging skin.
Pueraria Mirifica contains a valuable phytoestrogen named miroestrol. Miroestrol is similar to the safest human estrogen estriol. Miroestrol is 3000 times stronger than the estrogenic activity exhibited by soy isoflavones(genistein) and 1000 times that of red clover. In addition to miroestrol, Pueraria Mirifica contains substantial amounts of other phytoestrogens including daidzein, genistein, puerarin, and mirificin.
When miroestrol enters an estrogen receptor it modulates the effect on the receptor. Pueraria Mirifica supplements when the estrogenic activity is low and dilutes if the receptor estrogenic activity is high. Miroestrol has no effect on estrogen levels in the body as it only influences the estrogen receptor.
Menopause: In a clinical study on menopausal women in Thailand miroestrol lowered hot flashes 11 fold and night sweats 4 fold within 30 days. Most women start to notice relief of symptoms within one week. [1]
Breast cancer: A series of studies involving breast cell lines and the activity of Pueraria mirifica in vitro have been performed by the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Bangkok, Thailand. These studies have shown that Pueraria mirifica root extract has potent anti-estrogenic properties against aggressive cell cancer lines in vitro, especially the proliferative estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer lines (T47-D, MCF-7, and ZR-75-1) obtained from the MD Anderson Cancer Institute (Texas) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). [2]
Anti-aging: 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, and gray hair. The claim of antiaging and rejuvenation effects of this plant appears to be from these [coumarins, flavonoids (daidzein, daidzin, genestin, genistein, puerarin) and chromene (miroestrol)] compounds, especially miroestrol which is a known potent estrogenic principle. [3]
Osteoporosis: Postmenopausal women are more inclined to use natural remedies to alleviate postmenopausal symptoms and help reduce their risk for chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. Recent reports support the notion that certain bioactive constituents, e.g., phytoestrogens, in plants play a role in maintaining or improving skeletal health. [4]
Skin care and wrinkle reduction: With modern extraction technology, the extract from dried roots is standardized and prepared in the form of powder and solution. The extract solution is used in the cosmetic industry such as preparation of breast cream, eye gel, and skin moisturizer. Topical uses of Pueraria mirifica have been known to include: Wrinkle reduction - Eye Gel, Body Gel, Day and Night cream
Breast firming - Breast Creams, Cataplasm and Patches. [5]
