Pueraria Mirifica experiences

To get the most out of PM you need to combine it with other herbs such as Saw Palmetto, Kelp, Blessed Thistle, Fenugreek, Dandelion Root, Fennel seeds etc. Using the right blend of herbs will get you faster results and ensure your breasts grow to their maximum size." http://getcurvynow.com/breast-enhancement/herbal-breast-enhancement/pueraria-mirifica/ - http://getcurvynow.com/breast-enhancement/herbal-breast-enhancement/pueraria-mirifica/

I strongly disagree with that. The thing is PM is extremely potent, almost as strong as actual human estrogen.

Two things can happen if you take other herbs with pm:

1. You will severely overload your body with estrogen which is a huge no-no. There is a reason why we exercise caution and take PM by a plan- because we want results while maintaining a balance in our hormones. PM by itself can overload the body with estrogen if taken with a dose that is too high or taken too long without a proper break and hormonal cleanse.
2. The phytoestrogens in the herbs will actually fight with the PM and cancel each other out making both PM and other herbs less efficient and effective. Your estrogen receptors do not need to participate in a battle of which herb gets its estrogen absorbed. Then there's the matter of "leftover" estrogen.

Ladies, let me stress once again that PM is an extremely potent herb NOT to be taken lightly.

You can experiment with other herbs you can easily buy in stores because they are far less potent in phytoestrogens and take more time to give results. Why do you think PM gives strong results so fast? It is that powerful of an herb and I urge you all to take it responsibly.

Hormonal balance is vital, ladies!

If you want to take any other herbs, let it be when you're not taking PM! I take PM during my follicular phase and stop for ovulation and then switch to Vitex/Chasteberry during my luteal phase to promote progesterone and hormone balance in my body. I would never recommend taking them together or any other herb at the same time as PM.

Midna is so eloquent :^)

Actually, maca is not a phytoestrogenic herb so you can take maca just fine while on PM.
Okay, let me add that I do not recommend taking any phytoestrogenic herbs while taking PM!

And aw shucks, Babygurl!

It has phytoestrogens, but a lot of ppl on breast nexus take them together... just wondering if you have had any personal experience? :-) ******** update I've been on 1000 mg/ day of PM and its going well :) its hard staying away from soy!

Honestly, if I were to recommend taking SP while PM is in your regimen, I would recommend it after your follicular phase- so in the luteal phase as a way to keep the estrogen elevated to keep the breast progress. Chiyomilk, the famous PM Japanese woman who went from a full A to a very full C/D did it that way. PM in her follicular phase, stop for ovulation, and then take Bust Up which was a compound supplement filled with phytoestrogenic herbs in her luteal phase to keep the growing going.

So I recommend luteal phase. I just take PM and its strength very seriously; it's really not an herb you want to mess up on!

Well, I found the article below and after reading it I checked my notes. The first time I took pueraria was 15 days before my period and in 6 days after I started taking 500mg, I was already fitting on a 32C bra, when I had been fitting only on a 32B.I stopped taking pueraria after two months, started again this month on my period and noticed no difference.

"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."



From that I conclude that maybe it's best for me to start taking it 15 days before my period starts...and stop.
