Herbal Menopause Supplements

Herbal Menopause Supplements can provide valuable assistance during this natural life stage, reducing some common occurrences like 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 the low oestrogen level that typically occurs during menopause. These natural phytochemicals (plant compounds) act like weak oestrogens, binding oestrogen receptors and tricking the body into believing that it has more estrogen than it does. This can help to reduce the signs and symptoms of menopause.

Another great plant for hot flushes is sage, which is traditionally specific for this symptom. Modern scientific inquiry has revealed that this plant helps to reduce hot flush severity and intensity, and 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.
