Estro-Mend promotes healthy hormone balance in women by supporting the optimal function of estrogen sensitive tissues. Natural levels of estrogens in the body have stimulating and restorative affects on brain, nerves, bones, skin, heart, immune system and other tissues. Normal estrogen function significantly contributes to healthy mood and memory. Healthy sexual response is also affected by proper estrogen function. Function Supports function of estrogen by affecting the function of estrogen receptors. Promotes healthy estrogen metabolism including 2-hydroxylation which may protect estrogen sensitive tissues. Promotes healthy function of bone, heart, brain, breasts, vagina and other estrogen sensitive tissues. Relieves many of the physical and psychological symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes/night sweats, irritability, sleep disturbances, vaginal symptoms, mood swings & memory problems. May use without estrogen, or with natural estrogen to support healthy estrogen function. Active Ingredients Isoflavones: Pueraria lobata (Kudzu), Red Clover and Soy are all isoflavones that may diminish menopausal symptoms, promote the 2-hydroxylation pathway (increasing good estrogens), support maintenance of bone mineral density. Isoflavones may also help protect the cardiovascular system. Black Cohosh exhibits organ specific estrogenic effects and have been characterized as a selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERM). Black Cohosh directly affects the hypothalamus, suppressing excessive secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) which occurs in response to declining estrogen levels. LH surges are responsible for many menopause associated symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability, heart palpitations & headaches. Bacopa (Bacopa monniera) has potent adaptogenic activity that helps the body adapt to both acute and chronic stress. Used for memory enhancement, insomnia and as a mild sedative, it is also recognized as a potent antioxidant. Human studies reveal significant improvement in speed of visual information processing, learning rate and memory consolidation, as well as improved acquisition and retention of new information and decreased rate of forgetting new information. Maximal effects are evident after 12 weeks. Bacopa also supports optimal thyroid function. Cranberry fruit (not the juice) contains molecules known for their antioxidant activity, which may be beneficial in reducing age-associated oxidative stress, as well as in improving nerve, brain and heart health. Anthocyanins repair and protect DNA integrity and reduce age-associated oxidative stress, as well as in improving neuronal and cognitive brain function. Don Quai, long regarded as a female tonic can decrease symptoms in menopause, increase vaginal lubrication and may increase sexual activity. Normal intestinal mucus, required for proper bowel function and for immune system health is also supported. Don Quai may promote reformation of bone and has demonstrated anti-atherosclerotic action. Schisandra is an adaptogen that supports normal function of the nervous system, has beneficial affect on memory, supports cardiovascular health and has anti-oxidant and hepatoprotective properties. It improves memory registration & consolidation, and may prevent age associated degeneration of the brain. Sage (Salvia officinalis) has been used to treat hot flashes and to decrease perspiration in both daytime and night-time excessive sweating, and has memory-improving properties and calming actions. Antioxidant glycosides from sage have shown free radical scavenging activity, which may contribute to its benefits. Hops (Humulus lupulus) has been used to reduce hot flashes in menopausal women and is considered effective for restlessness, anxiety, sleep disturbances and other menopause related symptoms. Xanthohumol, a chalcone found in Humulus lupulus, plays a critical role in supporting normal blood lipid and glucose metabolism. Hops also supports optimal thyroid function.
