Nutritional research has advanced by leaps and bounds in the area of women’s health during the past decade. Today we know more about women’s health and the specific needs of woman than at any other time. Natural alternatives for menopause and natural hormone replacement are based in sound science and many tens of thousands of women have now reported positive results through the use of dietary supplements instead of dangerous hormone replacement therapy. Complications of menopause and the use of natural hormone replacement therapy are many, and for the most part, are a result of inactive adrenal glands, which are not compensating for the lack of natural hormone once produced by the ovaries. Menopause does not have to be treated by dangerous HRT, which has a proven record of increasing a women’s risk of many forms of cancer, heart disease, gall bladder disease, and stroke by often-high percentage points. In fact, dangerous HRT increases a woman’s risk of almost every chronic condition known. Nutrition for managing menopause has come a long way and now consists of a multi-faceted approach to this complex problem. Natural hormone replacement with menopause support supplements is now convenient, as we have put all of the known nutrients affecting this situation into one convenient capsule formula for maximum absorption. The dangers of HRT are now well known and no woman should consider the use of these dangerous drugs unless as an absolute last resort. Menopause need not be the ‘curse’ of maturity but rather a great time of life with greater freedoms. If you suffer from the complications of menopause such as hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats and others, these symptoms can usually be managed with natural menopause supplements, developed here at the Institute of Nutritional Science.
