Pueraria Mirifica in
Breast Actives Cream -
Clinical Studies
The major ingredient in the breast enhancement cream which is part of the
Breast Actives system is
Pueraria Minifica. Pueraria Mirifica (known locally as White Kwao Kreu) is a
herb that is found in the forests of Northern and Western
Thailand, at elevations of 1000 to 3000 feet above sea level.
The Pueraria Mirifica
root is a tuber that is an excellent source of phytoestrogens (compounds found
in certain plants that are similar in structure and action to the hormone,
estrogen).
The levels of phytoestrogens in the Pueraria Mirifica root are
substantially higher
than in plants such as soya or alfalfa. Phytoestrogens are the main substances
that create
the natural breast enlargement results of Breast Actives therapy.
The rhizome extract of Pueraria Mirifica
contains groups of phytoestrogen - comprising isoflavones (daidzein,
daidzin, genistein, genistin, and puerarin) and miroestrol and its
derivatives - stigmasterol, beta-sitosterol, coumestrol, mirificoumestan, puerarin,
kwakhurin, mirificin, b-sitosterol, alkane alcohol, sugar and fat. The
Peuraria Mirifica phytoestrogens - miroestrol and its derivative, deoxymiroestrol
- have stronger effects than the isoflavones of soy and red clover. Miroestrol
and deoxymiroestrol
are currently being studied for the possible use in hormone replacement
therapy (hrt) for women going through menopause.
It is known that isoflavones can enhance the firmness, shape and uplift of
female breasts;
can alleviate the discomforts of menopause; and can improve skin tone in women.
By using products containing
Isoflavones in high concentration, most women experience enhancement of breast
size and firmness .
 Professors
Kuramoshi (of Japan) and Yuthana (of Thailand) conducted the first documented
study of herbal breast enhancement on human females. The tests were conducted on
50 Japanese women of ages ranging from 20 to 49 years. Daily doses of 100 to 600
mgs of Pueraria Mirifica extract were administered to the women. At the
end of the study period, over 70% of the women in each group showed significant
increase in breast size and/or firmness.
Studies of breast
enhancement on women with Pueraria Mirifica extracts have since been
carried out at Chulalongkorn University of Thailand. In these trials,
Pueraria Mirifca therapy increased breast size by up to 80%. Tests with this
plant in England have found beneficial effects on hair, skin and breasts of
women.
The formulation of the enhancer cream in the Breast
Actives system is based on such research findings.
In Eastern countries like Thailand and others, from
one generation to the next over centuries, women
have passed on the knowledge of the amazing
rejuvenating properties of
Pueraria Mirifica root. It is only in recent
times, that the Western world has become aware of
these properties and have started controlled trials
to examine these.
In addition to the enhancement of breasts, recent studies indicate that Pueraria
Mirifica could be of help in the prevention of cancer of the breasts. Studies have been
conducted at the the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Phramongkutklao
College of Medicine, Bangkok, Thailand and at the Emory
University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, that involve breast cell lines and the activity of
Pueraria Mirifica in vitro. These studies have demonstrated that the root
extract of Pueraria Mirifica
has effective anti-estrogenic
properties against aggressive cell cancer lines in vitro, particularly against the
proliferative estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer lines (T47-D,
MCF-7, and ZR-75-1). In these studies, extract of Pueraria mirifica
has been found to promote
fibroblasts in normal breast cells and to inhibit the growth of breast cancer
cells that are estrogen-dependant.
