Hey there rocket,

Well, according to a 2007 (pay study) Peppermint has a stronger estrogenic activity, so we know that phytoestrogens exert there activity through ER-(estrogen receptors) mediated transactivation as the binding induces phytoestrogens ER's to act as ligand-dependent transcription factor.

Just remember that tea inhibits iron absorption:

So, imo (peppermint) activates receptors, and PM needs a metabolic activation to help it work better.

thank you lovely11 & lotus =]
and as lovely said it can be used an anti-androgen so it's fine without spearmint ...... lovely11 link showed peppermint is a lil cross bred plant...(des plants spearmint & water mint have being getting in on ;] ) so it's got the genes of spearmint which makes it a--OK right ?..and it's not as toxic as corn-mint so "yay" then (=

so you feel if peppermint activates receptors it's good to mix with pm?

and overall peppy peppermint is something I can take as long as I watch muh iron levels... do you know foods good for promoting iron absorption or counteracting peppy mint's bad behavior ?

(= it's really a nice tasting tea ..I wonder if spearmint is this nice ...I take a whole lot not just for nbe but taste is great!

aw thnx everybody ;] lotus/lovely

Oh yeah, you know I do space-nut,

Check this one out,

Eating strawberries, green peppers, citrus fruits, leafy greens, seafood (proteins), grains, dried beans (legumes), foods rich in vitamin C can triple the bio-availability of iron.

However, I've found that some of these foods also inhibit iron absorption, so go figure right?.

Eggs, peppermint, coffee, tea, cocoa , fiber, etc!

Oh yeah, spearmint and peppermint are from the same genus mentha family known as Lamiaceae.
