I, for one, am so glad you take the time, Lotus. I guess I've always been the type that wants to know how stuff works. It's the engineer in me, I guess.
One the things I've noticed about PM, is the effect it has on my range of movement. I've read that PM helps to stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is a hugely important protein that goes into making up the connective tissues in the body including ligaments, tendons, skin, etc. Collagen production drops off as we age which causes our skin to wrinkle and joints to stiffen.
Am I right to assume it's the miroestrol in PM that is responsible for boosting collagen production?
For me the effect is obvious. I went back on 1000 mg of PM three days ago after a 7 day break, and my joint stiffness is already clearing up. Fantastic!
