The process of aging brings about changes in a woman’s body. Fluctuating hormone levels are behind many of these changes. Most noticeable are changes in the monthly cycle culminating with menopause.
Women’s Support is designed to combine a number of natural supplements shown to ease many of the symptoms a woman can experience as her monthly cycle changes. Irregular cycles along with PMS symptoms like cramping, irritability, and insomnia can give way to a variety of menopausal symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, depression, insomnia, weight gain, and other challenges.
Women in countries with high intake levels of soy report far fewer problems with menopause symptoms especially hot flashes and night sweats. Researchers believe this can be attributed to the isoflavones in soy. Soy Isoflavones are phytoestrogens. These are compounds which work similarly to natural estrogen although not as strongly. Black Cohosh also exerts estrogenic effects and has been used for centuries for menstrual and menopausal symptom relief. Repeated clinical studies have verified black cohosh’s positive effects on symptoms like mood swings, hot flashes and sleep disturbances.
Dong Quai is a traditional Chinese herb believed to increase blood flow to the uterus helping ease menstrual problems. Chasteberry may ease PMS symptoms by restoring normal estrogen to progesterone levels.
In 1936 scientists discovered a compound in Mexican Yam useful for producing synthetic progesterone and DHEA. False Unicorn, Squaw Vine, Red Raspberry, and Blessed Thistle can each help in regulating menstruation.
Red Clover may be helpful for easing hot flashes and Sage night sweats.
The complete formulation of Women’s Support provides the best known herbs and supplements for easing difficulties associated with a changing monthly cycle. Because of the estrogenic effects of black cohosh and other ingredients, women with a familial history of breast cancer may wish to avoid using the supplement until more is known regarding its affects on breast tissue.
