MENOPAUSE

What Happens To Women’s Hormones During Menopause?

We actually start losing progesterone early on in life. It’s at this point that a lot of women who are even perimenopausal can suffer from primary estrogen dominance, because there's nothing balancing the estrogen out since our progesterone levels have been declining early on.

What Does Menopause Feel Like?

It's like a yo-yo. Your estrogen levels are just up and down. That's why some women will say, "Oh, I have hot flashes one day, and then they go away for a week, and then they come back, and then I can't sleep." You never know what's going to happen.

What Triggers Hot Flashes?

Whether we want to admit it or not, there are definitely foods that can trigger hot flashes. They include too much wine, chocolate, dairy, cheese just but to mention a few.

What Are Some Natural Alternatives For Menopause?

Black cohosh, sage, vitex, evening primrose, oil. Maca can be excellent for the adrenals as well as for menopause. A lot of these ingredients, not all of them, are actually found in a formula called Menosense.

What Is It Used For?

For the hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, sleepless nights.

What Is The Daily Dosage?

Two capsules twice a day- two capsules with breakfast and then two capsules with dinner.

Making A Smooth Transition Through Menopause

Once treated by mainstream medicine as a disease, menopause is a normal transition in a woman's life from an age of fertility to one of wisdom. Like anything important in a woman's life, this transition can sometimes be a challenge. With the recent revelation that standard hormone replacement therapy for the relief of hot flashes caused a significant increase in the risk of cell growths, a course of action for support during this transition can be confusing. But there are effective and safe alternatives to HRT with drugs.

Clinically, menopause is complete when one year has passed since the cessation of menstruation. The perimenopausal period can last for several years. During this time women experience gradual cycle changes like more or less bleeding and variations in cycle length. Anemia can occur due to heavy menstrual bleeding. Another way to experience menopause is through the removal of the ovaries. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause or after ovary removal cause hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, urinary incontinence, dizziness, heart palpitations, headaches and mood swings.

Around menopause hormone release occurs sporadically and produces symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, urinary incontinence, dizziness, heart palpitations, headaches, irregular cycles, irregular bleeding and mood swings. Estrogen receptors are located on non-reproductive cells too. Therefore, menopause affects the aging of a women's whole body. Skin cells need estrogen to stay smooth and moist. The thyroid gland uses estrogen to maintain body temperature. Proper bone formation requires estrogen. The arteries and heart require estrogen for maintaining their functioning

Relieving Menopause Symptoms:

The relief of these symptoms and natural support for the increased risk of other health concerns aggravated by menopause should include some or all of the following:
Balancing of hormones (sex hormones as well as adrenal & thyroid hormones),

• Reducing symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings 


• Supporting bone health


• Supporting heart health.

Natural support of the menopausal woman involves supporting the whole body because at menopause women lose the protective effect of estrogen on the body. The skeletal and cardiovascular systems are especially susceptible to degeneration due to low estrogen levels.

Hormones are very powerful substances that regulate bodily functions and cause dramatic changes in our health. As estrogen levels decline and fluctuate during the perimenopausal and menopausal periods, the normal balance of this group of hormones is disrupted and typical menopausal symptoms result. Many herbs contain safe and naturally occurring estrogens and can be used as natural hormone replacement therapy without the side effects of conventional HRT. Some of these herbs include:

• Vitex / chaste tree berry


• Dong quai


• Black cohosh


• Damiana


• Soy extracts


• Licorice and others.

Use standardized extract versions of these plants as they are stronger than the raw versions and contain a consistent amount of active ingredient.

Black cohosh (1mg of triterpene glycosides measured as 27-deoxyacteine) is the most researched herb for the treatment of menopause symptoms and replacement for standard hormone replacement therapy (estrogen and progestins). Effective in the treatment of the following perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms: hot flashes, profuse perspiration, headaches, heart palpitations, depression, PMS, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), sleep disturbances, vaginal atrophy (thinning of the vagina causing painful intercourse), vaginal dryness, nervousness, irritability and loss of concentration. It was also researched in women with estrogen dominant breast cell growths and found to be safe. Black cohosh works. Menosense has 80mg of black cohosh per capsule.

Chasteberry, commonly called Vitex, is effective at balancing hormones and has been traditionally used for the treatment of menstrual abnormalities, PMS, and menopausal complaints. It is especially important for women who are estrogen dominant with conditions including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breasts and to improve the progesterone to estrogen ratio. Menosense contains 80mg of standardized black cohosh per capsule.

Dong Quai is an effective treatment for the symptoms of menopause, especially to reduce hot flashes, as well as painful menstruation, lack of menstruation (spotting but no full blood flow), and will relieve too frequent menstruation (more than one menstrual cycle per month). In menstruating women it is also recommended for treating infertility. Menosense is formulated with 100mg of high potency, standardized dong quai per dose.

Gamma oryzanol, isolated from rice bran oil, is used for the reduction of hot flashes and to improve mood. Not only is it a very effective substance for alleviating menopausal symptoms, but it also lowers triglycerides and total cholesterol thereby protecting our heart. Menosense contains 75mg of gamma oryzanol.

Hesperidin, a potent flavonoid, has been shown to aid the vascular system and capillaries thereby improving cardiovascular health, reducing night sweats, hot flashes and those annoying night time leg cramps. It has also been shown to reduce bruising. There is 75mg of hesperedin in Menosense.
