Supports Natural Changes Before, During & After Menopause

Menopause is defined as the end of a woman's monthly menstrual periods. It is sometimes called "the change of life". The ovaries produce hormones (including estrogen and progesterone) throughout the childbearing years of a woman's life. After about age 40, as hormone levels decline, a woman may begin to notice irregular menstrual periods. Periods stop when the ovaries produce low levels of hormones or almost none at all. She can then no longer have children. Menopause occurs either naturally or surgically (often referred to as a hysterectomy).

For that Special Time in a Woman’s Life

It’s no secret that many women start menopause around their mid 40’s to 50’s, and most women begin to respond to the stress associated with “midlife” during this time. It’s natural, and it’s inevitable, but women can begin to look forward to this part of their lives with minimal anxiety. Proper diet, a positive attitude, and regular exercise along with Feminine Balance can make an incredible difference for women approaching midlife. Feminine Balance blends harmonizing herbs, key mycoceuticals, gamma oryzanol, and 16 different synergistic herbs that can help women ease through this transition, as well as relieve occasional symptoms commonly experienced during their peak years. Help maintain your vitality and harmony with Feminine Balance.

Harmonizing Herbs, Nutraceuticals, and Mycoceuticals

Feminine Balance blends harmonizing herbs (Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Mexican Wild Yam, Chastetree Berry, Saw Palmetto, Siberian and Chinese Ginseng, Nettle, Red Clover, Turmeric, Burdock root, Alfalfa, Kava and Licorice root), key nutraceuticals (vitamin E, phospholipids, boron, hesperidin, bromelain, gamma-oryzanol and isoflavones) and a proprietary immune supporting combination of nine different mushrooms, each prized in traditional Asian health systems for thousands of years.

When Does Menopause Occur?

Menopause, the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle, occurs naturally in the age range of between 40 and 60, with the majority of women experiencing its onset near the age of 50. Menopause is a process that ordinarily takes several years to complete after the first signs of physical changes begin to appear. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered post-menopausal. Although this phase of profound physiological shift often opens the door to many positive life changes and opportunities, it can be quite uncomfortable for a period of time. Exercise and improved stress management are helpful during menopause, presumably because they improve function of the adrenal glands.

Hot Flashes

Researchers have linked societies with high dietary intake of soy products to a lower incidence of hot flashes during menopause. Soy and a number of other food plants and herbs contain compounds called isoflavones (also known as phytoestrogens) that are plant compounds with weak estrogen like effects. Considerable research has focused on the effects of isoflavone containing foods, such as soy, flaxseed, kudzu, and red clover.

Several randomized trials have shown that increased dietary intake of isoflavone rich foods and/or supplements, providing between 40 and 160 mg a day, in women with menopausal symptoms, has resulted in improved vasomotor stability as well as overall improved quality of life.
