Amalth Pueraria Mirifica Extract 10000mg Strength-90 Veg Capsules Supports Women Wellness Naturally
Visit the AMALTH Store
i found this on amazon while looking for PM extract. its says 10:1 ratio.. does that mean that even though the caplets each contain 10000 mg even though they say they are 1000 mg each? funny thing is recommended serving is 2 caplets per day... thats a lot of mg's per since most people only take 1000 to 2000 mg max..,
any thoughts or revalations ?

I have no revelations, only thoughts: The extracts are not all created equal. From my little faded memory, I have seen some research which concludes that the estrogenic stuff in PM is alcohol-soluble, and in water extraction you get mainly polysaccharides, which aren't estrogenic - however, many of them seem to be anticancer-agents.
Therefore PM extracts without knowing how they are extracted and which fraction is used in the pill/capsule can be very different. (And, as everybody nows, water is cheaper than alcohol. Therefore extracting with water usually is cheaper).
A short version: For NBE use, I'm skeptical. They aren't very likely 10 x more powerful than plain and pure PM.

The logical interpretation for me would be that the extract contains a 10-fold concentration of phytoestrogens. Or so they claim. There are two caveats: first one obviously is that the claim is rubbish. The second one you should be aware of, is that if the claim is valid, the amountbof phytoestrogens could be very dangerous. As a toxicologist I would stress the second one. Either way: don’t buy
