What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a normal part of life. It’s part of a long, slow process of reproductive aging. For most women this process begins silently somewhere around age 40 when periods may start to be less regular. The decrease in hormones estrogen and progeterone cause changes in your periods. These hormones are important to keep the vagina and uterus healthy, for the normal menstrual cycles and for successful pregnancy. Estrogen helps to keep bones healthy. It helps women keep good cholesterol levels in their blood. Some types of surgery can bring on menopause such as, removal of your uterus (hysterectomy) which stops periods and removal of both ovaries (oophorectomy) In these cases menopause symptoms may start right away, no matter what age a woman is.

Menopause Symptoms

Most women have few obvious symptoms of menopause other than the ceasing of menstrual periods, most women will have some other symptoms. Symptoms may come and go, and more may develop, as the process of menopause progresses.

Symptoms that generally improve with time include:

  • Menstrual period changes.
  • Hot flashes.
  • Emotional changes, such as mood swings or a change in sexual interest or response.
  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia).
  • Rapid, irregular heartbeat (heart palpitations).
  • Generalized itching.
  • Joint pain.
  • Headaches

  • Problems with concentration and memory.

Symptoms of menopause that can be long-term and get worse with time include:

  • Vaginal changes, such as:
  • Vaginal dryness and itching.
  • An increased risk of vaginal infections.
  • Pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Urinary tract problems, such as: An inability to control the leakage of urine (urinary incontinence). Urinary tract infections (UTIs). Changes in appearance.

Is There Any Relief?

Yes, there are 2 available means of relief for women who suffer the symptoms of Menapuase.

HRT Hormone Replacement, ERT Estrogen Replacement Therapy – both these therapies present side effects which include headaches, nausea, fluid retention, weight gain, breast tenderness, spotting or darkening of the skin, particularly on the face, Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary emboli and rarely, an increased growth of preexisting uterine fibroids or a worsening of endometriosis. Some of these disappear after a few weeks. Recent studies are recommending that hormone replacement therapy using estrogen and progestin (HRT) be used only for short periods of treatment. ERT alone increases the risk of endometrial cancer. Studies of these therapies are still on-going making these therapies dangerous and not the best of options.

Phytoestrogens - Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds obtained from plants that have estrogenic activity. They have a similar chemical structure to estrogen and bind to the receptors, acting like hormone regulators. As a group of compounds they display many properties and can behave by boosting estrogen effects even though the dose is minute. They can also act to lessen the effect of estrogen when there is excess and seem to have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and reduce the effects of viruses. One of these is Menozac.

The Best And Safest Relief

Menozac has been developed as a natural alternative support product, put together with the best-known mixture of high-potency phytoestrogen botanicals which have a long experiential history of relieving menopausal symptoms, and supporting the body's hormonal balance.

The herbs below which are present in Menozac have all been recommended as alternatives to HRT by leading herbal experts. In a recent milestone study the herbs actually worked better than estrogen in eliminating hot flashes, mood swings, irritability, insomnia and anxiety. And compared to estrogen, they actually helped to prevent cancer.

Vitamin E (as d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) – Antioxidant. Combining vitamin E with other antioxidants such as selenium, chromium, beta-carotene, and vitamin C may offer a synergistic effect. That means they work better together than separate.

Soy (Glycine max) (seed) – phytoestrogen - Although phytoestrogens are weaker than human estrogens they behave similarly in the human body. In the body, phytoestrogens balance a woman's estrogen level. Moreover in relieving menopausal symptoms, research shows that soy helps promote heart health and relieve many menopausal symptoms. With all these, we can say with confidence that Menozac is the safest alternative product to relieve menopausal symptoms in the market today.
