Scientific studies suggest that along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, consuming phytoestrogens (plant estrogens) may compensate for some of the reduced production of hormones during menopause.
Menopause Balance Complex is a natural, concentrated source of phytoestrogens from various plants and herbs proven to help regulate hormonal balance in women during the transitional period of menopause.
Review: Shaklee Menopause Balance Complex
How Does Menopause Balance Complex* Work?
Phytoestrogens, or plant estrogens, such as those which are found in Shaklee's Menopause Balance Complex, are believed by researchers to produce clinical benefits during menopause by influencing hormone-regulatory mechanisms. During menopause, when hormones fluctuate, plant estrogens can bind to estrogen receptors on the surface of many cells of the body, thereby exerting a mild estrogen-like effect.
Who Might Benefit from Taking Menopause Balance Complex*?
• Women, usually those between 45 and 55 years of age, who are experiencing symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia.
• Younger women who experience induced menopause, due to surgery or other causes, and are experiencing the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia.
Phytoestrogens — What Are They and What Do They Do for Menopause?
Phytoestrogens are plant-derived xenoestrogens which occur in significant amounts in specific plants and are remarkably similar in molecular structure to the female hormone estrogen. They are thought to exert estrogen-like activity in the body, thus helping regulate the normal fluctuation of female hormones which occurs during menopause.
What Are the Phytoestrogens Found in Menopause Balance Complex*?
Black cohosh contains compounds that appear to act on the hypothalamus and vasomotor centers of the brain, areas that help regulate bodily functions such as temperature control, sleep patterns, and a sense of emotional well-being.*
Phytoestrogens present in soy and flaxseed may also influence a woman’s transition to menopause because these compounds are similar in chemical structure to the estrogen produced by the body.*
Menopause Balance Complex* also contains phytoestrogenscfrom dong quai, red clover, and licorice.
The combination of these actions appears to be beneficial, and Menopause Balance Complex* provides these amazing plant-based compounds in a convenient, concentrated form.
Black Cohosh
A member of the buttercup family and a native American plant, black cohosh is one of the most intensively researched herbs for natural menopause relief.
Black Cohosh is an herb which has been used by Native Americans for hundreds of years. It also has been intensely studied in Europe for more than 40 years as a natural means of regulating hormone balance during menopause.
Recent European clinical studies of this valuable herb have shown that black cohosh has several chemical actions applicable to relief from menopause.
Black Cohosh herb has long been used in Germany to help regulate hormone balance during menopause. Taken as directed, Menopause Balance Complex* provides the amount which is recommended by the German Commission E.
Soy Isoflavones
Recent evidence indicates that increasing your intake of plant-based foods which are good sources of phytoestrogens, provides many potential benefits. Soy is naturally high in these important plant compounds and the most common source of them in our diets.
The class of phytoestrogens found in soy is called isoflavones; the two major isoflavones found in the human body are genistein and daidzein. Forthe menopausal woman, soy has particular interest, as it is studied for both its apparent beneficial effect during menopause, as well as for bone-building and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Flaxseed
Whole grains are universally recommended as an important part of the diet. They are valuable sources of nutrients that are sometimes in short supply in our diets, including fiber, trace minerals, certain vitamins, and compounds such as antioxidants and phytoestrogens.
Flaxseed, also known as linseed, is one of the most valuable whole-grain sources of a class of phytoestrogens called lignans. Like soy isoflavones, these lignans are structurally similar to endogenous estrogen (that found in the human body) and can bind to estrogen receptors, thereby exerting an estrogen-like effect.
Other Natural Ingredients Found In The Proprietary Shaklee "Phytofem" Blend
Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) — One of the best-known Chinese herbs, dong quai has been widely used in combination with other herbs such as a uterine tonic. The roots, harvested after a three-year cultivation, are rich in a number of chemical constituents, such as essential oils, coumarins, and flavonoids.
Red clover (Trifolium pratense) — A plant that grows throughout the United States, Europe, and northern Asia, the blossoms of red clover contain phytoestrogens similar to those found in soy. The isoflavones formononetin, biochanin A, daidzein, and genistein are present and have been found to exert estrogen-like activity.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) — Along with dong quai, licorice root has a long history of use dating back thousands of years in Asian culture. It, too, has been found to be a source of phytoestrogens.
