Labisia pumila var. alata (LP), long used in traditional women’s health remedies, is now gaining scientific validation for its oestrogenic properties. Research shows that LP contains plant-based phytoestrogens capable of binding to estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ), mimicking the body’s natural estrogen activity.
This is especially relevant during menopause, when declining estrogen levels contribute to hot flashes, mood swings, sleep problems, and reduced vitality. Unlike hormone replacement therapy, LP appears to support estrogen pathways without altering natural hormone levels, making it a potentially safer, plant-based alternative for easing menopausal discomfort.
