Natural Female Support

For many years, women had limited options for relieving menopausal symptoms. Those who advocated safer approaches were vindicated when clinical studies confirmed that synthetic estrogen-progestin drugs increase risk of breast cancer, stroke and other diseases.33

Fortunately, natural plant-based extracts have been discovered that reduce menopausal discomforts and support healthy estrogen metabolism during menopause and beyond. These findings have resulted in a proprietary formulation combining a patented hops extract with a super-standardized lignan (HMRlignan™).

This patented hops extract contains a phytoestrogen (8-prenylnaringenin) that offers natural female support during menopause.34 In two human clinical trials with this special hops extract, menopausal women experienced significantly fewer hot flashes along with improvement in a variety of other menopausal discomforts.35,36 This hops extract (called Lifenol™) has been combined with HMRlignan™ (containing 7-hydroxymatairesinol) to make it even more useful. A recent study indicated that postmenopausal women using 50 mg HMRlignan™ daily over eight weeks experienced a 53.5% reduction in hot flashes as well as a reduction in other common menopausal complaints.37 In addition, clinical data suggests that a lignan-rich diet supports breast health.

Natural Female Support offers powerful nutritional support to help decrease menopausal complaints and maintain healthy estrogen metabolism during menopause.
