Relief For Menopausal Symptoms.Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Primarily as a result of decreases in estrogen, postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. A number of unpleasant symptoms may also accompany menopause. Some, such as vaginal dryness, result from the lack of estrogen. Others, such as hot flashes and decreased libido are caused by more complex hormonal changes. Sedentary women are more likely to have moderate or severe hot flashes compared with women who exercise. In one trial, menopausal symptoms were reduced immediately after aerobic exercise. Many years ago, researchers studied the effects of vitamin E in reducing symptoms of menopause. Most, studies found vitamin E to be helpful. Many nutritionally oriented doctors suggest that women going through menopause take up to 800 IU per day of vitamin E for a trial period of at least three months to see if symptoms are reduced. If helpful, this amount may be continued. Natrol Ester-E® is a patented formula, unlike any other Vitamin E. Only Ester-E® contains tocopheryl phosphates, a form in which the body naturally stores Vitamin E. Supplementation with Ester-E® helps to support cardiovascular function and promote healthy immune function. In addition, Natrol Ester-E® also helps to provide powerful antioxidant defense during aging and to fight free radicals produced during exercise or periods of stress. See
Doctor's Trust Ester-E, Here Researchers have also linked societies with high consumption of soy products to a low incidence of hot flashes during menopause. In one double blind trial, 60 grams of soy protein caused a 33% decrease in the number of hot flashes after four weeks and a 45% reduction after twelve weeks. Many other supplements, and herbs have also been helpful. Native Americans valued Black Cohosh and used it for many conditions, ranging from gynecological problems to rattlesnake bites. Some nineteenth-century American physicians used black cohosh for fever, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and insomnia. Black cohosh contains several important ingredients that may relieve the symptoms of menopause and menstration including triterpene glycosides (e.g., acetin and cimicifugoside) and isoflavones (e.g., formononetin). Other constituents include aromatic acids, tannins, resins, fatty acids, starches, and sugars. Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex) contains several different constituents, including flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, and terpenoids. The whole fruit extract, rather than one of its individual constituents, appears to be necessary for the medicinal activity of vitex. Vitex does not contain hormones. The benefits of vitex stem from its actions upon the pituitary gland—specifically on the production of a hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH). This indirectly increases progesterone production and helps regulate the menstrual cycle. Vitex also keeps prolactin secretion in check. The ability to decrease mildly elevated prolactin levels may benefit some infertile women as well as some women with breast tenderness associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

See Doctor's Trust Menopause Specifics, Formula Here Progesterone has a number of important roles relative to menopause. It is the natural balancer to estrogen, as well as being necessary for optimum estrogen utilization. Many women find that
supplementing with progesterone cream allows them to achieve a balance once again. Pro-Gest® has been available for over 20 years and is the natural progesterone cream women ask for by name. Health care professionals and leading
physicians support its use as it is the only natural progesterone cream
