Synergistic Formulation: |
||||||
|
Estro-Recause™ is a formula developed to promote healthy
hormone balance in women by supporting the ideal function of estrogen
sensitive tissues. Supporting the healthy function of brain, bone, heart,
breasts, vagina and other estrogen sensitive tissues may promote optimal
structure and function of these tissues which can result in an improvement of
perimenopause, menopause and postmenopausal symptoms.♦ |

Isoflavone Complex: Isoflavones are a class of
phytoestrogens — plant-derived compounds that are similar in structure and/or
function to human estrogens. In plants, isoflavones are bound to glycosides.
During digestion, colonic bacteria are thought to metabolize the inactive isoflavone
glycosides into their active counterparts. Genistein and Daidzein, two of the
predominant isoflavones that are beneficial to health, are present in
significant concentrations in soy, Pueraria Lobata (Kudzu) and red clover. These isoflavones promote
the 2-hydroxylation pathway, increasing “good estrogens”. Red Clover provides
additional isoflavones (such as biochanin A, formononetin), while Pueraria provides additional
isoflavones (such as daidzin, puerarin and |
||||||
|
Black Cohosh: The active constituents of Black
Cohosh include the isoflavone formononetin, as well as triterpenoids,
cimicifugoside, and cinnamic
acid derivatives (ferulic acid, isoferulic
acid, and piscidic and fukiic
esters). Black Cohosh appears to regulate estrogen levels, thereby
normalizing hormonal balance and diminishing the symptoms that accompany
fluctuating hormone levels. Black cohosh extracts have exhibited organ
specific estrogenic effects and have been characterized as selective
estrogen-receptor modulators. Black Cohosh may suppress excessive secretion
of luteinizing hormone (LH). Sudden increases in LH secretion, bioflavonoids
known for their antioxidant activity. Anthocyanins repair and protect DNA
integrity and may be beneficial in reducing age-associated oxidative stress,
as well as in improving neuronal and cognitive brain function. Polyphenolic
compounds in cranberries have been investigated to determine their role in
protection against cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Antioxidant &
Antiproliferation activities have also been attributed to cranberry fruit.♦ |
||||||
|
Bacopa Monniera: Bacopa Monniera
possesses a potent adaptogenic activity helping the body adapt to both acute
and chronic stress. It has been used for memory enhancing, insomnia and as a
mild sedative. It also recognized as a potent antioxidant. This antioxidant
capacity of BM may explain, at least in part, the reported antistress,
immunomodulatory, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory and antiaging
effects. Human studies have shown that the actions of Bacopa on cognitive
functioning in normal healthy subjects, including significant improvement in
speed of visual information processing, learning rate and memory
consolidation, with maximal effects evidenced after 12 weeks. Both
acquisition and retention of memory showed improvement with a significant
effect on a test for the retention of new information, decreases the rate of
forgetting of newly acquired information. Animal studies also suggest it may have a
thyroid-stimulating role. ♦ |
||||||
|
Cranberry fruit: Cranberry has long been recognized
for its role in supporting urinary tract health. However, the health benefits
may extend much further than urinary tract health. Cranberry fruit contains
proanthocyanins and anthocyanins, two which may have a preventive effect
against breast and ovarian cancer. The hop bitter acids may be responsible
for the chemopreventive action of hops. A catechin trimer in Humulus Lupulus
actually exhibits antioxidant activity greater than alpha-tocopherol or
ascorbic acid. Despite the anti-cancer properties that have been attributed
to hops, its constituents may bind to estrogen receptors alpha (ER alpha) and
beta (ER beta) and exhibit estrogenic activity and up-regulation of
progesterone receptors (PR), which may explain why it effectively relieves
menopause symptoms.♦ |
||||||
|
Dong Quai root: Don Quai, long regarded as a
“female tonic” or “female adaptogen”, has profound benefit in women’s health.
Through its phytoestrogenic action it can decrease symptoms in menopause. It
can increase vaginal lubrication and may increase sexual activity. It may
also increase mucus protection of the digestive system. Normal intestinal
mucus is required for proper bowel function and for immune system health. The
immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory and antiallergenic properties of Don
Quai also contribute to immune system health. Don Quai can contribute to
reformation of bone and has demonstrated anti-atherosclerotic action. While
able to contribute to health and proper function of so many tissues, it has
shown very weak estrogen receptor binding and does not produce estrogen-like
responses in endometrial thickness. |
||||||
|
False Unicorn Root: (Chamaelirium Luteum)
contains phytoestrogens that ease the symptoms of decreased estrogen in menopause.
It has been used to treat prolapsed uterus and to increase pelvic and vaginal
tone. It is a tonic for the uterus and the ovaries. It helps with reduced
vaginal lubrication and lack of sexual desire. Is also has mild diuretic
properties, so urine flow may be increased. ♦ |
||||||
|
Hops: (Humulus Lupulus) Hops has been used to reduce hot
flashes in menopausal women and is considered effective in mood disturbances
such as restlessness and anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Some of the
compounds that occur in hops have very strong phytoestrogenic activity such
as 8-prenylnaringenin, which
occur in response to declining estrogen levels, appear largely responsible
for many symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night
sweats, insomnia, irritability, heart palpitations, and headaches. As with
other estrogenic compounds, the active constituents in Black Cohosh extract
may have beneficial effects in the cardiovascular and skeletal systems of
postmenopausal women. As such, Black Cohosh offers a safe and natural method
of balancing fluctuating hormone levels and easing the resulting symptoms
that can occur during menopause. ♦ |
||||||
|
Sage: (Salvia Officinalis) Sage contains phytoestrogen substances that make it very
useful for women. It has been used to treat hot flashes and has been used to
decrease perspiration in both daytime and night-time excessive sweating. Sage
has a positive effect on the nervous system. Human studies have shown it may
be even be beneficial in the management of mild to moderate Alzheimer's
disease and can provide memory-improving properties. Sage binds to the
GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex in brain tissue and has demonstrated
calming actions, even in agitated patients. Antioxidant glycosides from sage have shown free
radical scavenging activity, which may contribute to its benefits. |
||||||
|
Schisandra:
Schisandra may be
described as an adaptogen that supports the normal function of the nervous system,
while supporting cardiovascular health. It also has anti-oxidant and
hepatoprotective properties. Lignans in Schisandra such as schisanhenol may
be responsible for its actions. Used for the treatment of cardiovascular
diseases, liver diseases, diseases of the CNS related to the old age,
Schisandra demonstrated a beneficial effect on memory registration and memory
consolidation, and may be useful to prevent age associated degeneration of
the brain. ♦ |
