Synergistic Formulation: |
||||||
|
Progesto-Recause™ is a synergistic designed formula
developed to promote healthy hormone balance in women by supporting the ideal
function of progesterone sensitive tissues. (The hormone progesterone
exhibits calming, soothing & protective effects to nerve, muscle, breast,
endometrial and other tissues, and preserves health and vitality of bone and
immune tissues.) Supporting the healthy function of brain, bone, heart,
breasts, vagina and other progesterone sensitive tissues may promote optimal
structure and function of these tissues which can result in an improvement of
perimenopause, menopause & postmenopause symptoms.♦ |

About
Phytoprogesterones & Progestogenic Herbs: Phytoprogesterones are a class of phyto-compounds that mimic the calming, soothing,
anti-inflammatory, anti-autoimmune, spasmolytic, and cardioprotective effects
of progesterone by supporting healthy nervous, immune, digestive,
cardiovascular, and other systems prone to agitation, stress, spasms or cramps.
Progestogenic herbs are a class of adaptogens that may optimize the healthy
proper hormone producing function of the adrenal glands, which are the
primary source of postmenopause progesterone, without causing agitation.
Herbs which mimic the effects of progesterone, promoting calming,
anti-inflammatory and other functions, complement the phytoprogesterone
sand progestogenic herbs. ♦ |
||||||
|
Rehmannia: Rehmannia
(Rehmannia Glutinosa) is considered an adaptogen
that enhances adrenal function and normalizes blood glucose. It works with
the neuroendocrine system, affecting adrenal
function in such an extent as to normalize blood sugar imbalances and improve
glucose tolerance. It can provide both antiallergy
properties and improved immunity. The anti-inflammatory activity in the
central nervous system can help maintain proper brain function. Rehmannia has
been shown to stimulate the proliferation and activities of osteoblasts,
while inhibiting the generation and resorptive activities of osteoclasts. In
animal studies is has shown a preventive effect on osteoporotic bone loss
induced by an ovariectomy. Other studies have documented cardioprotective and
antitumor activity.♦ |
||||||
|
Bupleurum: Bupleurum
(Bupleurum Falcatum) is an adrenal adaptogen with
significant anti-inflammatory actions. One of its constituents, saikogenin A,
is able to stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system by promoting
the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH),
which is responsible for maintaining the size and function of the adrenal
gland. Its anti-inflammatory actions may include an inhibitory activity
against allergic asthma.♦ |
||||||
|
Passion Flower: Passion Flower (Passiflora
Incarnate) contains a number of constituents, including benzoflavone
that exhibit calming, soothing and antispasmodic properties. Studies has
demonstrated its effectiveness for restlessness, irritability, anxiety and
insomnia, while at the same time exhibiting aphrodisiac and libido-enhancing
properties. Its calming ability has also shown antiasthmatic
properties. The activity of Passiflora constituents may be linked to an
interaction with GABA receptors.♦ |
||||||
|
Coleus Forskohlii: Coleus
(Coleus forskohlii) contains forskolin,
an active constituent that has been shown to stimulate production of
progesterone in human adrenal glands tissue. Serum progesterone levels were
actually increased in a small study of 20 women taking forskolin. Forskolin
has exhibited a wide range of soothing and inflammation properties and has
demonstrated antiallergy, anti-asthma, antiglaucoma, antihypertensive, antispasmodic actions.
Forskolin and stigmasterol, a plant steroid also
found in Coleus forskohlii, have both exhibited anticarcinogenic
properties.♦ |
||||||
|
Vitex Agnus-Castus: Vitex (Vitex Agnus-Castus)
has long been considered to be a progesterone enhancing herb,
Vitex Agnus-Castus has demonstrated the ability to
improve concentration of progesterone during the luteal phase of menstruating
women. When endometrial cells were exposed to Vitex agnus-castus
there was binding to both estrogen and progesterone receptors. However, it
did not demonstrate estrogenic activity, while it did stimulate progesterone
receptor expression. This confirms observations that progesterone-like
benefits of Vitex agnus-castus are not exclusively
associated with the luteal phase. This herb has also been useful in treating
breast pain and has cytotoxic activity against
human breast cancer and other cancer cells, a quality that may be benefited
by its additional ability to inhibit prolactin
secretion.♦ |
||||||
|
Dioscorea Villosa:
Wild Yam (Dioscorea Villosa) has
antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties that first earned Dioscorea V. the name “colic root” because of the
gastrointestinal relief it offers. Its ability to relieve inflammatory and
spasm conditions of the female reproductive organs or any pains caused by
spasm have expanded its use. Dioscorea villosa has the ability to relax the autonomic nervous
system and therefore decrease the vasomotor symptoms associated with
autonomic dysfunction. Diosgenin, an active
constituent of Dioscorea villosa,
has also demonstrated antitumor and antiproliferative
activity. The Dioscorea villosa
extract in this formula is the true herbal extract – not progesterone.♦ |
||||||
|
Peony Root: Peony (Paeonia
lactiflora) has traditionally been used to treat
excessive uterine bleeding and excessive vaginal discharge (leucorrhea) as
well as menopause symptoms. Traditional use for brain dysfunction is
validated by animal studies demonstrating its cognitive enhancing abilities.
Other studies have demonstrated strong antioxidant, anticancer, cholesterol
lowering and antihyperglycemic properties.♦ |
