Kudzu
Brand: Samsara Herbs
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active compounds in Kudzu are isoflavones, such as puerarin, daidzein, and daidzin. At a cellular level, these isoflavones act as phytoestrogens, interacting with estrogen receptors to modulate hormonal activity. They influence neurotransmitter systems, particularly those involved in alcohol metabolism and cravings, by affecting dopamine release. The 20:1 concentration ensures a potent dose of these bioactive compounds, supporting the body's natural regulatory processes for vascular health and oxidative stress response.
