The cessation of a woman’s menstrual cycle typically occurs in midlife, during the late 40s or early 50s, and signals the end of the fertile phase. For some women, the accompanying signs and effects that can occur during the transition years can be strong enough to significantly disrupt daily activities and sense of wellbeing. Female Formula contains five key ingredients each of which plays a role in supporting a woman’s unique needs during this period. Specifically, Female Formula addresses hormonal balance, maintains normal inflammatory balance and provides antioxidant support, as well as cardiovascular and bone support for a full spectrum of protection and menopausal symptom relief.
Black Cohosh Root Extract
Black cohosh root extract has been extensively studied for its hormone balancing benefits during peri-menopause and menopause.
Trans-Resveratrol
Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes and red wine, has been shown to have an effect on free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties in various tissues. Trans-resveratrol provides a range of supportive activities including hormonal balance and maintaining normal inflammatory balance.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice root has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Its active compounds, including glycyrrhizin and certain phytoestrogenic flavonoids, may help modulate estrogen levels by interacting with estrogen receptors, potentially providing hormone-balancing effects.
Gamma Oryzanol
Gamma oryzanol (ferulic acid) is a natural compound extracted from rice bran oil. Gamma oryzanol was first shown to be effective for relieving hot flashes in the early 1960s. Numerous studies have highlighted the benefits of gamma oryzanol for menopausal complaints.
Dong Quai
Considered by many as the woman’s herb, Dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is native to China and Korea, where it is considered as a “female ginseng” due to its ability to reduce painful menstruation, support a regular and healthy menstrual cycle, and reduce menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes.
