Kwao Krua is a herb, which has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. It’s a plant, which grows in certain parts of Thailand and Myanmar.

There are two types of Kwao Krua: White and Red. The plant helps in boosting the production of hormones in the body. White Kwao Krua is taken as a supplement during menopause and Red Kwao Krua is beneficial for andropause.

White Kwao Krua is a rich source of phytoestrogen,  a nutrient which imitates the natural estrogen produced in women. The supplement is a part of the Mirifica species and is called Pueraria Candollei (shortened to Pueraria Mirifica). It helps in coping with menopause since the production of estrogen drops during that stage.
