Today I'm back on PM after a one week, cold turkey break. Before the break I was taking 500 mg of PM at each meal (1500 total/day, down from 2000 mg the month before). Some observations:

1. Growth continued through the break as evidenced by the constant soreness of my breasts. There was no visually detectable regression.

2. My libido jumped back up very strongly. My spontaneous male sex impulses returned on day 5. I felt an urge to visit a porn site. I was able to achieve an erection fairly easily.

3. I felt anxious and impatient again. My wife commented about my not replying to a question directed at me (yes, I heard her). I screwed up a work piece I was making in my shop through unnecessary hurry and inattention.

4. Joint stiffness returned. That really surprised me. I felt a general achiness throughout my body. Sitting too long in one position left me stiff.

I'm back on PM today at 1000 mg/day. It's an experiment to see if the benefits of PM can be had at the lower dosage. If not, it's back to 1500.

I can see myself taking PM forever with these results.

That's not-surprising,

Pueraria mirifica is a great choice for people who want to naturally fight aging. This supplement contains flavonoids and miroestrol compounds, which have all been shown to be effective for fighting aging. A reduction in gray hair and cellulite, increased energy, improved memory and improve circulation are some of the benefits that people have reported after taking pueraria mirifica.

Pueraria mirifica helps hydrate the skin and boost collagen production. This gives you a healthier, more youthful-looking complexion. It also helps protect against wrinkles. There was a study published in the Journal of Fertility and Sterility in 2005. One group of women was asked to take an estrogen supplement while the other group was given a placebo. The results of the study showed that the women who took the estrogen supplement had fewer wrinkles than the group who took the placebo. As discussed, researchers believe that human estrogen and phytoestrogens have similar effects on the body.

Yup, I've been back on PM after my break for 5 days now at just 1000 mg/day and the stiffness in my joints is nearly gone. It must be the PM that's responsible. It stimulates collagen production in the body which is needed for healthy ligaments, tendons, skin, and dozens of other tissues in the body. I've tried other supposed remedies for stiffness and never got this kind of relief. Anybody have a similar experience?

BTW, dropping to 1000 mg/day from 1500 seems to be working just as well in other respects, too, but it may be too early to tell for sure.
