Who should not take Pueraria mirifica?
The Pueraria mirifica products are often not recommended for women under 18 years old, women using birth control drugs or prescription estrogen and pregnant or nursing mothers. Although it may improve some kinds of vaginal irritation, it’s not proven to be more effective than a traditional estrogen gel or cream. Animal studies have shown that pueraria mirifica can minimize bone loss during menopause. Other emerging research suggests that the supplement may have antioxidant effects.
Will Pueraria mirifica feminize you?
For transgender women, Pueraria mirifica is sometimes used as a supplement to support feminization, although it is not a substitute for prescribed hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Pueraria mirifica (PM), a plant whose dried and powdered tuberous roots are now widely used in rejuvenating preparations to promote youthfulness in both men and women, may have major estrogenic influence.
