In fact ALL real Pueraria Mirifica comes from Thailand because that's the only place it growns and the law protects the plant and the root so you can't export live plants, just dry root or powder made in Thailand. Even PM from Japan or Hawaii for that sake, comes from northern Thailand. But I can see you can buy MiroHealth from Anne Selene in Canada too and pay with Canadian Dollars http://ca.anne-selene.com/ShopDetails.cfm?OrderNo=H1010002-060
So if you Carlaa did not buy from Thailand then you're taking some of the many fake stuff that comes from other plants in the same family or parts of the waste from the production of the best qualities around (it takes 22 lbs. or 10Kg to produce 2.2 lbs. or 1Kg good quality PM. The rest is sold as "waste").
As far as I know, the Thai government only allows for export of ready products and the standard in Thailand is as good as any other countries because herbs are a huge industry for Thailand and they can't afford to have bad standards for sure.
I buy my herbs and creams as well as serum from Anne Selene in Thailand and I'm sure their products are not only good but also very safe compared to many other brands that pay less attention to ensuring that what you get is clean and good.
I would never buy from e-Bay or from dormant UK companies because after all PM is classified as food supplement and I like to know whom are selling the "food" I eat - or creams I use for that sake.
