The 3 main ways to take PM.
"#1. The reason why people advocate the taking of Pueraria Mirifica during the first 15 days of your cycle is that since the phytoestrogens present in Pueraria Mirifica are to serve as additional estrogen in your body, it makes sense to introduce the additional estrogen alongside the body’s natural boost of human estrogen. Also, since it is progestin that should be dominant in the second-half of your cycle – the Luteal Phase – it makes no sense to interfere with that by introducing excess estrogen.
#2. Still, others recommend that Pueraria Mirifica should be taken in the latter half of the cycle, after ovulation and during the Luteal Phase. The reasoning behind this is that introducing excess estrogen – on top of what the body is naturally producing – can either overwhelm the body’s estrogen receptors and be counterproductive OR that the extra estrogen will be too much for the body to handle and worsen PMS and menstrual cramps. These Luteal Phase advocates reason that since the body’s production of estrogen decreases during the Luteal Phase, it makes sense to supplement what is reduced with a potent phytoestrogen.
#.3 Still yet others recommend that Pueraria Mirifica can be taken regularly, everyday, just as any other supplement. The basis of this reasoning is that that was how it has been consumed by the Thai population for over a century and it has had no adverse side effects. In fact, Thailand has one of the lowest incidents of breast cancer in the world. Advocates of month-long Pueraria Mirifica claim that the whole argument between whether the Follicular Phase or the Luteal Phase is best for Pueraria Mirifica is based on cycles that are meaningful for contraceptives but inapplicable for Pueraria Mirifica.
So, there you have it. The 3 most popularly recommended ways of taking Pueraria Mirifica.
Our recommendation? Listen to your body, experiment, observe, and choose what works for you."
