Expert Verdict
Pueraria mirifica contains miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, which are 10× more potent than soy isoflavones at estrogen receptors; adverse events reported include irregular vaginal bleeding and menstrual disorders; contraindicated for estrogen-dependent conditions. Fermentation may or may not degrade these compounds—analytical verification of phytoestrogen content post-fermentation is essential; recommend in-vitro estrogen receptor binding assay (ER-α/ER-β) on finished ferment.
