Pueraria mirifica’s root have been study, and shows low anti-oxide activity. Puerarin is one one the chemical component inside Pueraria mirifica that have high anti-oxide activity along with α- tocopherol.

Researcher have collecting samples of Pueraria mirifica from 28 different location all around Thailand, finds that among all the fitoestrogen, only Puerarin that have significant correlation with anti oxide activity. Meanwhile, daidzin compound, daizen and genistein shows low activity of anti oxide activity even though it contains many anti oxide. It is said to be depending on the season and location of the plant itself. 

University Emery Medical School located at Atlanta, Georgia, United States have conducted one scientific research and collaborate with Department of Obstetrik and Ginekologi, Phramongkutklao College of Medicine, Bangkok, Thailand involves breast cell’s line and Pueraria mirifica activity in vitro. The research finds that, Pueraria mirifica root’s extract contain anti-estogenic traits that are effective to battle aggressive cancer cell in vitro, mostly estrogen proliferatif positif reseptor (ER +) towards the line of breast cancer. Pueraria mirifica encourage fibroblas in breast cells become normal and avoid estrogen that are depending towards the cancer cells itself.

The low level of estrogen would encourage the elimination of free radical because estrogen assist to control the production of free radical ( free radical is assumed danger to body as it excels degeneration of organs inside the body ). Because of that, the extract from Pueraria mirifica is compatible to be used as a natural estrogen substitute compare to ERT treatment   (estrogen replacement theraphy) that are commonly being used to cure low level of estrogen in human body. The long term effect of these synthetic estrogen or ERT could lead to the growth of of cancel cells and lead to breast cancer and endometrial cancer (Sulak, 1997).
