Benefits

• In Europe and Japan, alternative measures to combat menopausal symptoms have already been in use for more than 40 years, and well-designed clinical trials have shown that natural supplements, such as black cohosh extract, soy isoflavones and gamma oryzanol, are effective interventions in the management of a host of bothersome menopausal symptoms.Active constituents from soy isoflavones appear to act as phytoestrogens, imparting their estrogenic influences on various tissues to help compensate for the 90-percent decline in estrogen in a woman’s body that accompanies the menopausal years

Cautions

• Consult your doctor/physician.

None well documented.
