Phytoestrogen support used for perimenopause and menopause.Transitional Years
This formula assists the transition into and out of menopause. Common conditions associated with the menopausal years include menstrual irregularities, vaginal dryness, fatigue, depression, decreased libido, and sleep disturbances. By stabilizing hormonal function, the transition into this scared and powerful time in a womans life is made more smoothly. This formula works primarily to support the balance of estrogen and progesterone.
There are two mechanisms involved with supporting estrogen-like compounds - called isoflavones. These compounds are reported to be hundreds of times weaker in their effect than the bodys estrogens. Environmental estrogens are even stronger. These weak estrogen-mimicking compounds found in plants help normalize estrogen levels in the body. If estrogen levels are low, the weak estrogens act as a small but valuable supply to the woman. If their estrogen levels are high, the weaker estrogens competitively bind to estrogen receptor sites, reducing the ability of stronger estrogens to bind with those sites. The overall result is a gentle normalization of estrogen levels.
The second way this formula addresses estrogen levels is by supporting adrenal function. As a woman ages and her ovaries produce less estrogen, the adrenal glands production of estrogen becomes more important. General nervous system support can assist the adrenal glands role in this production.
