meno retores hormonal balance and eliminates
menopausal symptoms naturally. Menopausal symptoms are caused by the hormonal
imbalance brought on by a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production.
meno is a unique blend of herbal extracts that
contain plant estrogens called phytoestrogens that naturally increase or
decrease estrogen levels, providing you with natural balance for a natural
change.
meno is formulated with the hormone-balancing
power of proven herbs that alleviate the symptoms of menopause. This unique
combination of effective ingredients including both Black Cohosh and Red Clover
will provide you with a natural balance for a natural change. With
meno you get the best of both these ingredients and
more. In less than four weeks, many women have naturally reduced or eliminated
symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, energy or
memory loss, and poor sleep without any side effects.
First, herbs are far safer than isolated chemicals when used appropriately
for benign disorders. Second, people have been using herbs for centuries. We
therefore have centuries worth of information on the uses, effects and
contraindications. We know what herbs can do and we know what their long-term
effects are. And finally, herbs work. Although they may take a little longer,
they are generally more effective and safer than isolated drugs for chronic
benign symptoms like those of menopause.
As we approach our mid thirties, the gradual decrease in hormone production
is a very natural process. By the early to mid forties, physical symptoms may
become more obvious. With a daily regimen of meno
to maintain hormonal balance as you age, you may not even feel as though you are
going through menopause!
The balancing act between estrogen and progesterone, the two primary female
hormones, is essential. These hormones have several functions in your body: the
preservation of bones, emotional balance, memory and libido to name a few. With
the decrease in estrogen and progesterone production during menopause, your
hormones can become unbalanced and symptoms begin to appear.
Many women address menopausal symptoms by taking HRT - synthetic hormone
replacement therapy. Unfortunately, this ignores the fact that menopause is not
a disease requiring ongoing drug treatment;it is a natural transition. Also,
studies show that there can be significant health risks involved with HRT.
That's why more and more women turn to herbs or products such as meno as a
safer, more natural alternative.
The primary use of meno is to alleviate menopausal symptoms by improving
hormonal balance.
Two (2) capsules of meno contain the following standardized herbal extracts:
- Dong quai (provided by 250mg of a 10:1 P.E.)(1% ligustilide)
- Dong quai is an excellent source of plant estrogens and improves
hormonal balance in menopause. It has been shown to help increase the
absorption of Vitamin E and is particularly useful in reducing hot
flashes. It is often referred to as women's ginseng.
|
2,500mg |
- Dandelion (provided by 125mg of a 4:1 P.E.)
- Dandelion has been proven to gently detoxify the body and support
liver function. It has also demonstrated a variety of preventative effects
and like most herbs, it contains plant hormones which can improve hormonal
balance.
|
500mg |
- Black cohosh (provided by 40mg of a 12:1 P.E.)(2.5% triterpene
glycosides)
- Yet another excellent source of plant estrogens. In Germany, black
cohosh is the most prescribed herb to treat hot flashes and is recognized
by the official German regulatory body Kommission E as an effective
support for menopausal complaints.
|
480mg |
- Chaste tree berry (0.5% agnuside)
- Chaste tree berries are a good herbal remedy for PMS, menopausal
symptoms and irregular perimenopausal bleeding. Standardized extracts of
the plant can lead to greater progesterone-like effects. In Britain, the
most important use of the herb is to help alleviate menopausal symptoms.
|
250mg |
- Red clover (8% isoflavones)
- This herb, acclaimed for being the most balanced source of plant
isoflavones, compensates for the decline in natural estrogens with
something called estrogenic isoflavones (isoflavones are the most potent
type of plant estrogens). Furthermore, red clover is the only edible plant
known to supply all four isoflavones: daidzein, genistein, formononetin
and biochanin. Clinical research has shown it can help reduce several
menopausal symptoms.
