Effects of Phytoestrogen From Pueraria Mirifica in Improvement of Serum Lipid Parameters in Postmenopausal Women

Effects of Phytoestrogen From Pueraria Mirifica in Improvement of Serum Lipid Parameters in Postmenopausal Women

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica in improvement of serum lipid parameters. The primary question it aims to answer are:

• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL and increase HDL or not

Participants will receive capsules which composed of dry weight 50 mg of Pueraria Mirifica twice a day for 2 months. Researchers will compare with diet control&life style modification to see if there is the improvement of serum lipid parameters

The secondary question it aims to answer are:

• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce menopausal symptom score or not
• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce body mass index(BMI) or not
• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce waist circumference or not
• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica can reduce blood pressure or not
• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica effects to creatinine, BUN, eGFR or not
• phytoestrogen from Pueraria Mirifica effects liver function enzymes or not
