Description: Safe and Natural Relief of Menopausal Symptoms
By age 55, 95% of women reach menopause. During perimenopause, this transition time, a woman’s body experiences fluctuating hormonal levels ( decreased estrogen production and increased leutenizing hormone ( LH ) and follicle stimulating hormone ( FSH ) ) and often corresponding symptoms such as hot flashes, moodiness, irregular periods and vaginal dryness. Such symptoms last for more than one year in 80% of women and for up to five years in 33%. Normal treatment for this condition is with estrogen therapy. However, some major concerns about the use of estrogens include increased risk of cancer, blood clotting problems, increased blood pressure, gallbladder disease, nausea, migraines, and mood changes. On the other hand, the use of ‘phyto-estrogens’ natural plant chemicals that mimic estrogen, has also been shown to be effective while minimizing side effects.
The following combination of ingredients in Estro·Logic help to support women undergoing the change of life:
- Black Cohosh possesses some hormone-like properties and may help decrease symptoms such as hot flashes, profuse sweating and sleep disturbances.
- Soybean Isoflavones may reduce hot flashes and vaginal dryness by decreasing mid-cycle surges in hormones and may protect the heart by reducing cholesterol, preventing oxidation of cholesterol, and reducing scarring of veins.
- Wild Yam is traditionally used for ovarian and uterine pain.
- Sage may inhibit excessive perspiration.
- Chastetree Berry may stimulate estrogen ( 17ß-estradiol ) and progesterone production by the body and may decrease cyclical breast pain by normalizing hormonal imbalances.
- Vervain has been traditionally used for menopausal complaints and is recommended for its nerve-calming effects.
- Astragalus may provide nutritional support for healthy immune function. A combination herbal containing Astragalus membranaceus was shown to enhance vital energy.
- Motherwort has shown calming effects, particularly in regards to the heart and may thus reduce palpitations that may occur during menopause.
Caution: Not to be used during pregnancy or by nursing mothers.
