Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Miroestrol is a phytoestrogenic compound isolated from the plant Pueraria mirifica, which has a long history of traditional use in Thailand and neighboring countries for promoting female vitality, breast enlargement, and alleviating menopausal symptoms. The traditional rationale for its use is based on the belief that the plant’s estrogen-like properties can help support the female endocrine system, particularly estrogenic functions. While laboratory studies have confirmed that miroestrol and related compounds can bind to estrogen receptors and exert weak estrogenic activity in vitro and in animal models, robust clinical evidence in humans is lacking. Most published studies are either small, preliminary, or have methodological limitations. As such, the use of miroestrol to support the estrogen body system is primarily justified by traditional use rather than by strong scientific validation. Reports of its benefits are largely anecdotal or based on traditional practices rather than on large, well-controlled clinical trials. Regulatory agencies do not officially recognize miroestrol as an approved treatment for estrogen-related conditions. Therefore, while there is a historical basis for its use, the scientific evidence remains limited and inconclusive.
