Balance Your Hormones Naturally with Herbal Balance Maintaining balance in the female physiology is complex…because women’s hormones are in a constant state of flux, waxing, and waning like the moon. The balance becomes even more delicate when the body begins to decrease its estrogen production. Although many women do not experience the physical symptoms of menopause until later in life, the menopause transition-called premenopause-can actually start as early as the mid 30s. Forty percent of premenopausal women complain of heightened PMS symptoms including: decreased energy, tension, uterine cramps, breast tenderness, irritability, depression, headaches, backaches, and abdominal bloating. And it’s estimated that half of all premenopausal women have some PMS. Women typically enter menopause in their mid-40s and emerge by their mid 50s. Some women may pass through this transition within one to two years, while other women may be menopausal for several years. The symptoms, including: hot flashes, depression, irritability, night sweats, vaginal atrophy, and bladder infections can continue until the body adjusts to the decrease in estrogen and progesterone level. This can take from between 12 and 20 years. "Now you can balance your hormones with nourishing herbs that will support your system in a healthy way…and allow you to experience a better quality of life." More than 30 million U.S. women are now at or beyond menopause and another six million will reach this stage during the next decade. Although it’s a normal, natural process that your body must go through, it can get rough sometimes. Fortunately, now you can balance your hormones with nourishing herbs that will support your system in a healthy way…and allow you to experience a better quality of life. What is Herbal Balance? Herbal Balance is a unique phytoestrogen supplement designed to help you deal with the physical and emotional stresses unique to premenstrual and menopausal women. Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like compounds necessary for the development and growth of all plants. In humans, phytoestrogens function in a manner similar to the hormone estrogen, but their activity is much weaker. Studies have shown that women on typical Western diets are more likely to experience the symptoms associated with menopause and PMS than women in cultures with plant-based diets. Researchers believe that Japanese women have 1/3 the menopausal symptoms of American women because of their high consumption of soy foods (tofu, soy beans, miso) – a rich source of phytoestrogens. Asian women also have a relatively low incidence of reproductive and hormone-related disorders, including osteoporosis, and breast cancer, and are less likely that American and European women to develop coronary heart disease-again, because of their consumption of soy products. The Herbs in this formula contain Phytoestrogens, and Preliminary Research Has Shown That They Will Help: ·
bring your system back into balance Natural alternatives including herbs, vitamins, minerals and phytoestrogens offer women a safe approach to reducing the symptoms that accompany hormonal imbalances. Conventional therapies involve using pharmaceutical hormones. Unfortunately, these treatments also involve possible side effects and health risks, including a higher incidence of breast cancer. That’s why more and more women are turning to centuries-old traditional medicine. Just remember that the key to success with an herbal hormone balancer is to start taking it early –before the onset of menopause and to stick with it. Sometimes it takes a month or two to experience relief of symptoms with natural products. But the good news is that relief will come, along with a stronger, healthier, more balanced physiology-without the side effects. BioGreen Herbal Balance - All-Natural Ingredients for Enhanced Well Being Don Quai--dubbed the "female ginseng," has been used in Asia for thousands of years by women as a remedy against hot flashes and other symptoms caused by hormonal changes. It has also been used in Europe since the 19th century for gynecological problems. Rich in vitamins and minerals including A, B12, and E, this herb supports healthy blood. Don Quai also supports the rhythmic contractions of the uterus and intestines by relaxing smooth muscles. Wild Yam Extract--has a long history of medicinal and food use. Not to be confused with tuberous sweet potato yam, Wild Yam contains diosgenin, a precursor of progesterone, and has been used traditionally to nourish the female reproductive system and reduce the symptoms of PMS and menopause including hot flashes, irritability, depression, and insomnia. In 1943, Wild Yam attracted the attention of mainstream medicine when scientists extracted the female hormone progesterone from this plant. In fact, until 1970, this plant was the sole source of progesterone used in birth control pills. Today Wild Yam is widely used to supply nutrients essential for optimal glandular function. Soy Isoflavones--a type of phytoestrogen from Soy, has a mild estrogenic effect that helps balance hormone levels. During the past 10 years, research on isoflavones has increased tremendously. A study published in the British Medical Journal (1990, vol. 301) found beneficial effects on vaginal dryness and thinning in 25 menopausal women who supplemented their diet with soy-based foods. Soy foods may also contribute to bone, breast and cardiovascular health. Black Cohosh--Native Americans used this herb to reduce the pain and inflammation of rheumatism and to treat an assortment of ‘female complaints". It has been studied more than any other herb for alleviating menopausal symptoms. A popular substitute for hormone replacement therapy, Black Cohosh also supports normal blood pressure, soothes nervous tension, and alleviates problems associated with water retention. Chaste
Tree Berry--For centuries this herb has been reputed to be
a hormone balancer. It is extremely popular in Europe where it
is used as a natural alternative to estrogen replacement therapy.
Chaste Tree Berry has been beneficial in relieving symptoms of
PMS, heavy or frequent menstruation and /or amenorrhea (lack of
menstruation). It has also been shown to reduce the unpleasant
symptoms associated with menopause. Herbal Balance Ingredients:
