Applications
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.

of Pueraria Mirifica extract,
standard dermal toxicity tests were performed in various animal
