Frequently Asked Questions

Quick, direct answers — the same ones our support team gives every day.

Pueraria Mirifica is a tuberous root native to northern and north-eastern Thailand, traditionally called “Kwao Krua Kao”. It is rich in phytoestrogens, including miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, and has been used in Thai herbal tradition for decades to support skin, hair and breast tissue firmness.

No. Both contain phytoestrogens, but Pueraria Mirifica additionally contains miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, compounds not found in soy, which are considered significantly more potent phytoestrogens.

The root is dried and milled into an extract that is formulated into capsules for internal use or creams and serums for topical application, often as part of a combined daily routine.

Yes. Thai and international researchers have studied its phytoestrogen content and effects since the 1930s, with renewed academic interest from the 1990s onward covering its composition, safety and physiological effects.

Used as directed, Pueraria Mirifica is generally well tolerated. As with any phytoestrogen-containing botanical, pregnant or breastfeeding women and anyone managing a hormone-sensitive condition should consult a healthcare provider before starting.
