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.
