When women reach menopause, their bodies produce less estrogen. This can cause an array of uncomfortable symptoms as their systems adapt to the changing levels of hormones. Certain plant constituents, called phytoestrogens, weakly imitate human estrogen to restore hormonal balance.
However, some phytoestrogens are more powerful than others. Solgar’s PM PhytoGen Complex™ includes Thai Kudzu extract (Pueraria mirifica), standardized to contain 16 mcg per tablet of miroestrol – the most active phytoestrogen yet discovered. True Pueraria mirifica, which grows only in two provinces in Thailand, has a long history of traditional use for promoting youthful skin and hair, strength, and vitality. In fact, use of the herb dates back nearly 1,000 years. Modern research has discovered that this particular species of Thai Kudzu contains a complex of phytoestrogens, including miroestrol, which makes it ideal for relieving symptoms of menopause.
Unlike phytoestrogens contained in red clover and soy, such as genistein and daidzein, miroestrol is
bio-similar to human estrogen – making it many times more powerful. Initial human studies have found
miroestrol-containing Thai Kudzu effectively relieves common menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, mood instability, nervousness, and fatigue.
Selecting the correct species of Thai Kudzu is essential to a quality product. Solgar uses a patented analytical procedure to validate PM PhytoGen Complex’s™ miroestrol content. Select B vitamins further address the emotional stress and fatigue that come with menopause.
PM PhytoGen Complex™ is manufactured using Solgar’s proprietary Smartabsorb™ process, which
enteric-coats select ingredients to ensure proper absorption.
