Phytoestrogen is naturally occurring non-steroidal plant compounds found in every part of plants, including the roots and are therefore also said to be plant oestrogen (estrogen). For Pueraria Mirifica, the hormonal effect comes from Isoflovans like Daidzein, Genistein, Puerarin, etc. and natural chemicals like miroestrol, ß-Sitosterol, Stigmasterol, Coumestrol and others.

There are a lot of contradictions with regards to Phytoestrogen and often a debate if it works or not. Now those that have been on "bad" herbals or no herbals at all would say "no herbals does not work and it's only rubbish" and including in this group are also those that have been on "good" herbals but for just too short time or were heavy smokers, had a lot of coffee, tea or alcohol that would automatically give them less effect from herbals no matter how much herbals they would take. Another thing is that to really take advantage of phytoestrogens you must have a healthy gut flora.

Anne Selene's Pueraria Mirifica or Kwao Krua Kao capsules "MiroHealth Tonic and MiroHealth Extra" is a herb that contains several valuable Phytoestrogens where Phytoestrogens are oestrogen (estrogen) hormone-like chemicals found in plants where the major of Phytoestrogens are Isoflavones, Flavones, Coumestrans and Lignans. Most people therefore knows that Soy, Yam, Red Clover etc. contains Phytoestrogens but very few knows that they only contains a tiny amount of estrogenic compounds and therefore have little or no effect on the body other than acting as a dietary supplement.

Miroestrol found in Anne Selene's Pueraria Mirifica "MiroHealth Tonic and MiroHealth Extra" is about 3000 times more potent than the estrogenic activity shown in soy Isoflavones named Genistein. Furthermore it has more than 1000 times the estrogenic activity of i.e. other plants like Red Clover, Soy and Yam. It is to be noted that no other plants than Pueraria Mirifica contains Miroestrol.

There is several evidence showing that Phytoestrogens have protective action against several diverse health disorders such as breast, bowel, prostate and other cancers, brain function disorders, cardiovascular diseases, menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis.

So this is just the point with herbals, some are really weak and really crap and some are really potent and would work in feminisation also for transsexuals and maybe even better than what "real" pharmaceutical hormones would do. Why? Because really good oestrogenic herbals like Pueraria Mirifica have matrix sources of phytoestrogens with lignans, coumestans, isoflavones and more as well as minerals, vitamins, fibres and so forth that would give greater benefit than just a single source pharmaceutical hormone would do.

As said earlier, the older generation of females and transsexuals would maybe not benefit from pharmaceutical hormones at all, so the matrix source in herbals are offering an alternative, also because pharmaceutical hormones are associated with far grater risks but also herbals may have their own risks so it's not totally risk free and each individual must assess their own situation before start taking herbals. The best is to ask advice from an herbalist as most doctors does not understand herbals more than ordinary people does.

There are not many herbals out there that can really offer females and transsexuals good results in the terms of feminisation and in fact there might be only one or two kind where Pueraria Mirifica is one of them. The rest are just not potent enough to feminise anybody but would still be a good source for healthy body. Combined with breast cream, it would also makes the skin covering the breast more elastic and softer as in the same time its enhancing the breast shape and size.

We could read about the gut few lines up and the key to get advantage of Phytoestrogen are to make sure the gut works well because humans can't easily make use of plant hormones without it. However with the help of our gut bacteria we can in fact take use of almost all plant hormones and to do so we must take the MiroHealth capsules with good natural yoghurt, unpasteurised sauerkraut, wine or even a glass of milk if you wish. In that way your gut bacteria will help you to do feminisation wonders.

So Phytoestrogen can be our best friends and offer us ways to stay safe and healthy, so long as we use them with wisdom.
