Suggested Dosage

Adults only: Take 5ml twice a day, in a small amount of water or juice. Shake well before use.

Be Warned!! Menopause Releif has a very strong taste. If you are squeamish about tastes you may want to choose a product in a capsule, such as Femaprin or Menopause Complete.

Health Information

Phytoestrogens are compounds found in plants that have mild estrogenic effects. Unlike conventional HRT, phytoestrogen containing herbs are unlikely to have adverse side effects. In fact, experimental studies in animals have demonstrated phytoestrogens are extremely effective in inhibiting mammary tumours not only because they occupy estrogen receptors but also because of other unrelated anticancer mechanisms.

Herbs containing these components have a balancing effect on estrogen levels - whether they are to high or too low. Many herbs, such as those found in this product, can offer effective treatment in managing the hormonal fluctuations that occur during menopausal states.

Plant sterols have the ability to mimic hormone-like substance that have a hormone-like activity and can then compete with endogenous hormones for receptor binding sites. These plant sterols have scientifically demonstrated hormone balancing effects. Many woman can achieve a smooth passage through the menopause with the assistance of herbs and without the many side effects often attributed to HRT.

Lower levels of phytoestrogens are present in some foods including seaweed, beans, peas and lentils, whole grains including barley, corn, oats, carrots apples and the cabbage family. These foods may be used alongside of a phytoestrogenic product such as Menopause Relief as a wholistic menopause treatment.
