Hi everyone,

I've been doing research and reading numerous threads on the forum about different PM brands and a couple of members have stated that "wild" pueraria mirifica brands don't contain deoxymirioestrol which is apparently stronger than mirioestrol. Thing is, there was no link/evidence to back these comments so I'm wondering if it's true. If this is true, then I guess it means Ainterol (wild) PM would be less effective/powerful than Siriporn (farmed cultivar) PM for example. 
What are your thoughts?

The science goes like this.   It looks like in the plant it is all deoxymirioestrol.   Since wild pueraria mirifica contains 
very little of the chromenes by the time it is processed there is no deoxymiroestrol.   Wild Pm contains typically only
1 to 5mg chromenes/100 gram.  Usually sun drying technques are employed and the deoxymiroestrol picks up 1 O2
molecule, now its miroestrol.   The premium farmed PM can range from 18 to 23 miroestrol and 5 to 7 deoxmiroestrol mg/100.
Remember it all deoxymiroestrol from the start.   The processing is different also.   I am talking about root powder not extract.

How do i know ....because they can measure this in Japan and I mean it is accurate......i have seen the science.
Don't pay attention to the American brands that claim they are standardized.  There stuff is commercial and no one to call them
on their results and not it has never been validated on HPLC.....

The more I look into pueraria mirifica the more complicated it seems.
