Application
of Pueraria Mirifica
Pueraria Mirifica has long been
traditionally prepared in the form of pills for oral intakes.
Currently, the dried roots are finely ground, sometimes
mixed with other medicinal herbs, packed in capsules and
marketed as a dietary supplement; however, for some distributors,
the capsules are prepared from the root extract. The formulation
that includes ingredient list and content of each ingredient
varies from one supplier to another.
Pueraria Mirifica in the form
of extract has been introduced just recently. 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 cosmetic industry such
as preparation of breast cream, eye gel, and skin moisturizer.
The extract powder is used as a dietary supplement similarly
to the traditional method, but the product has more uniformity
due to the advantage of standardization.
When Pueraria Mirifica
is taken as a dietary supplement, its phyto-estrogen
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,
gray hair, etc. These aging signs and symptoms will, to
a certain extent, be reversed.
When applied topically to the skin, Pueraria
Mirifica will be beneficial to that respective
part of the body.
Various forms and preparations of Pueraria
Mirifica should provide an effective and
inexpensive alternative to women who wish to take charge
of their own health and to enhance their beauty or utilize
Pueraria Mirifica
for many cosmetic purposes.
With regard to the safety and efficacy of dermal preparations
of Pueraria Mirifica
extract, standard dermal toxicity tests were performed
in various animal species as well as in humans, and no
toxicity was observed, Moreover, the efficacy of breast
cream was recently evaluated in a large group of human
volunteers. |
