PM Standardized Extract ok? (Swanson's Puresterol)

#1

Has anyone tried the standardized extract of Pueraria mirifica? This one is sold at Swanson's in the form of Puresterol®

There's also one from Nature's Answer which has the same amount of Puresterol:

According to a FAQ on another site, Puresterol contains:

Quote:One serving of Pueraria Mirifica Plus or Pueraria Mirifica Pure, which contains 100mg of Puresterol, contains 300 mcg of miroestrol and >20 mg of total isoflavonoids.

I know some people are going to say "don't reinvent the wheel", but due to my current situation it's more convenient for me to order from Swanson. If I were to take this, how does this compare (in dosage) to the whole herb type sold as Ainterol?

All that vitamin B6 in those formulations can be problematic, and potentially compounded if taking multiples of these a day.

Adverse effects have been documented from vitamin B6 supplements, but never from food sources. Although it is a water-soluble vitamin and is excreted in the urine, doses of pyridoxine in excess of the UL over long periods of time result in painful and ultimately irreversible neurological problems. The primary symptoms are pain and numbness of the extremities. In severe cases...difficulty in walking. Sensory neuropathy typically develops at doses of pyridoxine in excess of 1,000 mg per day, but adverse effects can occur with much less, so doses over 200 mg are not considered safe.

Well, it's only 10 mg and B6 is important for methylation and other important functions in the body.
