Research of Pueraria mirifica
Our researcher has started research on Pueraria Mirifica since 1991
and then later on Butea Superba. Pueraria Mirifica (White Kwao Krua)
is Thailand's endemic species found mainly in the northern and western
part of Thailand and has local name as "White Kwao Krua". The Thai
vine herbal plant is grown in association with the moderate-size
trees ranking from timber wood to bamboo in the deciduous rain forest.
Pueraria Mirifica Study
......The enlargement underground tuber accumulates "phyto-estrogens"
(Hormone from Plant) comprising isoflavones (daidzin, daidzein,
genistin, genistein and puerarin) and others such as miroestrol
and its derivatives, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, coumestrol,
puerarin, mirificoumestan, kwakhurin and mirificin. The scope of
our study is biotechnology of the White, Red and Black Kwao Krua.
Our study has be done by traveling to many forests in many parts
of Thailand to search and select for the right and best cultivar
of these herbs by rely on botanical characteristic, chemical analysis,
consumption history, toxicology test as well as laboratory test
and clinical trial.
The result of study under
controlled by researcher
......According to our research has revealed that Pueraria Mirifica
and Butea Superba are safe to be used in human in certain dosage
as well as consumption period.
Our researcher has been conducting a series of researches covering
the chemical analysis, tissue culture, mass propagation, cultivar
improvement, production, product development and testing and so
on for 9 years. Because this finding showed a great impact to the
herbal food, cosmetic, drug and beverage industries, so he has submitted
patents concerned these findings and application in both Thailand
and abroad.
......The result shows that our selected Pueraria Mirifica cultivar
contains very high isoflavones contents and showing high anti-mutagenic
effects as well as high killing effects to human mammary cancer
cell line.
Nowadays nutritionists recommend the consumer to consume isoflavones
regularly for the purpose of cancer protection normally found on
post-menopausal and people who are Hormone Imbalance.
What
is benefit of Miroestrol and its derivatives?
......Miroestrol and its derivatives are also precious chemicals
in the White Kwao Krua which promote estrogenic and monogenic effects
to various tissues as Breast Enlargement or Breast Tissue Reformation.
(See the result of Clinical study about Breast Enlargement by Pueraria
Mirifica herbal and FAQ Breast Enlargement Forum ) and organs such
as uterus, ovary and skin as HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)
What is different between Soya and Pueraria Mirifica?
......Soya, the main oriental food and Alfalfa, the western health
food products contains lower amount of phyto-estrogens especially
there is no miroestrol and its derivatives. Their benefit to the
body is far less than that of Pueraria Mirifica. The researches
confirm that these chemicals are potent anti-breast cancer, anti-prostate
hyperplasia, anti-colon cancer, anti-osteoporosis and also anti-cardiovascular
disease via the potent reduction of blood cholesterol and also anti-menopausal
syndrome. Further information about: Chemical Composition and Hormone
