What do hormones and mid-life physiological changes, anti-aging, osteoporosis, heart disease and Alzheimer’s have in common? They are all major concerns
of women regarding menopause. This natural
course of life takes on an intense focus when symptoms begin to throw the
balance of nature out of control. Millions of women seek relief from such
complaints as hot flashes, night sweats, bloating, indigestion, allergies,
headaches, insomnia, fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, weight gain, hair
loss, facial hair growth, mood swings, aging skin, irritability, foggy thinking,
lack of concentration, anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, bone loss, heavy
bleeding and other related symptoms. Whether it is an estrogen deficiency or
insufficiency, or whether it is related to any number of causes, the need for
relief is the primary motivating factor for seeking a solution. With all the negative information now being released about HRT (hormone replacement therapy), women are looking for a natural and complementary formulation that can provide relief without the worry of severe side effects.
