Kudzu Root (40% Isoflavone)

History:

The creeping Kudzu vine is native to Japan and China and was brought to the United States in the twentieth century as a noble experiment to prevent soil erosion and to provide fodder for animals. What is a protected vine in the "Land of the Rising Sun" has been called the "Green Menace of the South" in the United States. Kudzu is a coarse, high-climbing and fast-growing plant that can grow one foot per day. It has engulfed many of the southeastern states, covering and killing trees and other growth and thriving in its warm climate, well-drained soil and sun. The root is used for therapeutic purposes and may be traced back for centuries. Kudzu was first mentioned in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs, begun during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.- A.D.23), for head, neck and blood pressure health, and it was also used to discourage alcohol use (tea made from Kudzu is called xing-jiu-ling, which is literally translated as "sober up").  Its use in modern Chinese medicine includes cardiac support. Kudzu has many uses in Japan, including herbal preparations, food and commercial products. Kudzu starch is used for thickening soups and noodle making, and the stems yield an important fiber called kokemp that is important in the manufacture of cloth and paper. Some chemical constituents in Kudzu include puerarin, p-coumeric acid, quercetin, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, starch, vitamin B-2, genistein, daidzin and daidzein.
