Herbal Menopause Supplements

Herbal Menopause Supplements can provide valuable assistance during this natural life stage, reducing some of the common occurances, such as hot flushes, and ensuring a smoother transition into this new life stage. Glycine max is a natural source of isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein, which help to reduce the effects of low oestrogen. These natural phytochemicals (plant compounds) function like weak oestrogens in the body, binding receptor sites and tricking the body into the belief that it has more estrogen than it does. This can help with hot flash control. Another great plant for hot flushes is sage, which is traditionally very specific for this symptom. Modern scientific inquiry has revealed that this plant helps to reduce hot flush severity and intensity. The research is discussed in Planta medica in June 2013. Other common herbal medicines used for the management of other common signs and symptoms of menopause are Zizyphus jujube and Shatavari.
