Scientific Summary
Pueraria mirifica, often called Thai kudzu, is a root of a tropical leguminous plant. The root is used mainly to ease menopausal symptoms, support bone and skin health, and improve hair vitality and blood glucose control. Because it contains estrogen‑like isoflavones, it should be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with hormone‑sensitive conditions, and used cautiously by those on hormone therapy or blood‑thinning medications.
