Hormone Balance

Nutrients connected to Hormone Balance

A link means the body needs the nutrient for this, or that low intake is linked to it. It does not mean extra supplements help if your intake is already adequate; each link shows how strong the evidence is.

• Pueraria mirifica (kwao krua)Documented risk

  The root has strong estrogen-like activity (miroestrol). No human safety data were found for hormone-sensitive conditions, so this is a caution, not a benefit.

• Tongkat aliPreliminary or mixed

  Reported to raise testosterone in some trials; 'balance' is not demonstrated.

• KudzuDocumented risk

  Kudzu root has estrogen-like activity (isoflavones). MSK advises avoiding it with hormone-sensitive cancers and with tamoxifen.

• SpearmintPreliminary or mixed

  Tea lowered free testosterone in small studies. This is a hormone change, not proof of better balance or health.

• Cynomorium (Suo Yang)Lab or animal research only

  A mouse study reported changes in testosterone and related hormones; human relevance unknown.
