| A
woman’s body is distinctively female.
And although every woman is unique, all women mature and age according to
the same cyclical hormonal rhythms that govern the female body. The legacy
of female puberty, menstruation, perimenopause, menopause, and post
menopause form the normal biological progression of a woman’s life.

“In spite of longevity resulting from improved health nutrition, and medical
treatments, women suffer poorer health outcomes, more comorbidities
(accompanying disease processes), and greater disease related disabilities
than men do as they age.” Gender differences make us more susceptible to
cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and bone fractures…” The good news is
“…bone loss, cardiovascular disease, and weight gain, are responsive to
dietary modifications and supplementation, as
well as to lifestyle changes like exercise. A
majority of women in developed countries can expect to live at least 25% to
30% of their life after menopause.” JAMA 1996:276:1473-1497.

Black Cohosh Plus.
Black cohosh, don qui, and chasteberry are

synergistically to support hormonal health in menstruating, perimenopausal,
and menopausal women by helping to balance estrogen. Black cohosh is thought to inhibit
the uptake of estrogen and suppress the secretion of LH (luteinizing
hormone) that may play a role in hot flashes, sweating and headaches. These
herbs may help uterine cramping, vaginal dryness and reduce anxious
feelings. Click here for more

DHEA
is a natural steroid hormone produced in the body from cholesterol. DHEA is
produced in the adrenal glands which sit on top the kidneys. This androgen
is a precursor of male and female hormones and many other steroid hormones in
the body. It is thought to help regulate hormone imbalances and may help bolster male
libido. It may improve mental clarity and uplift mood and support the immune
system. It is thought to be useful in combating stress. DHEA levels are highest around
25 yrs of age and then progressively decline after 40. After 70 to 80 years
of age levels may be one tenth of the level at 25 yrs of age. 60 capsules
$13
We recommend that DHEA be taken under the care of a physician. We do not
recommend for children or women of child bearing age. Click on product
