Menopausal Support
Promotes Hormonal Balance

The herbs in this formula have traditionally been used for toning the female reproductive system. This tonic stimulates the body’s own ability to produce the proper balance of hormones, i.e. estrogen and progesterone that assist a woman through menopause. After the ovaries cease to produce estrogen, the herbs in this formula support the adrenal glands, which take on the role of estrogen production. Black Cohosh and Dong Quai contain natural plant substances that stimulate the body’s ability to produce the proper balance of a hormone, such as estrogen, that help diminish hot flashes, spotting and flooding, help to revive dry vaginal tissue, and can deter osteoporosis.  Chaste Tree nourishes the pituitary gland and enhances progesterone production.  Siberian Eleuthero and Oats feed the adrenals and nervous system, which help to fight irritability and nervous anxiety.  Wild Yam eases pain associated with the uterus and ovaries.
