MENOPAUSE FORMULA
DESCRIPTION
Peri-menopause describes the natural biological processes and changes in a women’s body caused by the diminishing production of estrogen and progesterone. For most women, this period of hormonal change typically starts around 45 years of age and can last for several years.
The fluctuation in hormone levels during the peri-menopausal period can cause significant discomfort for many women. Common complaints and symptoms include: hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, fatigue and irregular menstrual cycles.
Once the menstrual cycle ceases and menopause is reached, women are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and breast cancer. Although several large, well-designed studies such as the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) were launched to help understand these troublesome health issues, many questions remain unanswered.
In the meantime, abundant medical evidence suggests that by simply adopting a health-promoting diet and lifestyle, most women can expect to lead healthy, active lives for many years following menopause. In addition, natural and herbal therapies such as black cohosh and St. John’s Wort have been demonstrated to be effective in the management of the common symptoms associated with menopause.
