I've read that a small amount of PM can be fairly safe. Ive heard 50 - 100 mg quoted online.

(Eg. Based on available studies, a safe dosage of PM as a dietary supplement
for humans was suggested at 1–2 mg/kg b.w./day or about 50–100 mg/day [3]. )

My problem is the capsules say things like :

Active Ingredients per tablet:

2500mg Pueraria Mirifica (10:1 concentrated extract equivalent to 2500mg raw herb)

(Here : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174776850213?hash=item28b1831725:g:niIAAOSwWeFgqCXC&_trksid=p5731.m3795)

So would these capsules fall into that safe dosage? I'm not sure how to calculate the amount of PM in the capsules.

I hope this all makes sense - can anyone help please?

Also, for now I've just been using some topical cream, but again I don't know how much PM is in it for the same kind of reasons.

Any help appreciated thankyou XX

Typically 10:1 means how much it is concentrated.  So if a pill contains 250mg of concentrate at 10:1 it is equal to taking 2500mg of the raw substance.    If your taking enough to alter your hormone levels enough to grow boobs,  it would probably be considered "not safe" by the medical community.  Given, it would put you at slightly higher risk of issues such as breast cancer or blood clots. 

Safety is always relative to the risk vs reward.   In my case,  even a small amount (500mg) of PM causes a spike in blood pressure for about 4-6 hours.  2500mg at once would not be something I would take.  Everyone is different, just be careful and watch for adverse side effects.
