Abstract

A phytoestrogen supplement and methods of preparation are described. The basis of the oral phytoestrogen supplement was a preparation of the pomegranate material, preferably pomegranate seeds, which were contacted with an appropriate solvent as described below, preferably including water and ethanol. Preferably, the supplement also included an herbal mixture, including schizandra berries and Chinese asparagus root, and most preferably including Chinese licorice root and Chinese angelica root. The phytoestrogen supplement can also be prepared from pomegranate material alone without the addition of other herbals, which involves fermenting the pomegranate material including the pomegranate seeds. The basis of topical phytoestrogen supplements was a mixture of a preparation of the pomegranate material, preferably pomegranate seeds, which were pressed as described below to produce pomegranate oil, and of the coconut milk. Preferably, the supplements also included schizandra berries and Chinese asparagus root.
