Here's Some Beneficial Information For Your Good Health . . .
Women experience several different hormonal phases throughout their lives that significantly affect their bodies. Each woman passes through the following major phases: Puberty and the onset of menses; pregnancy and motherhood; and menopause and the end of menses are distinct hormonal stages.
The pharmaceutical industry offers a wide array of medications for each, but new studies suggest that nutritional supplements offer safe, inexpensive, and natural alternatives to these common age-old problems.
In current research, 61% of women agreed that they should take supplements formulated for their particular stage of life; 46% agreed that supplements could help to reduce the effects of menopause; 32% of women acknowledged using a product for menopause; and 64% of women were willing to try a natural product to prevent the common effects of menopause.
Given this growing interest in natural nutritional products, their use in two major conditions affecting women’s lives – PMS and Menopause is very important for a large segment of our population.
Menopause commonly occurs between the ages of 40 and 55. It can occur suddenly (at any age) as a result of the surgical removal of the ovaries. The onset of menopause is accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms as hormonal imbalances occur.

Two thirds of American women suffer from hot flashes, especially in the two years after the onset of menopause. In addition, they may experience night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness and mood swings. After menopause, women are at increased risk of heart disease and osteoporosis.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has traditionally been the recommended treatment for most women for the relief of menopausal symptoms. Initially, estrogen replacement therapy was embraced by health practitioners, until it was discovered that it quadrupled the chances of getting uterine cancer. Subsequently, progestin was added to estrogen to reduce the risk of cancer.
The estrogen/progestin combination relieves hot flashes and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. The effect on the risk of heart disease has been less clear, and the American Heart Association issued a statement in 2001 that said it should not be used in women with existing heart disease because it may actually increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Then a disturbing finding was announced in 2002 wherein the Women’s Health Initiative study of HRT was quickly stopped due to an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, blood clots and heart attacks.
Because of the risks and side effects of traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy, many women are now choosing alternative approaches to dealing with their menopausal symptom, including diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements.
For many women, the addition of Soy to the diet with Soy supplements could provide symptomatic relief. One recent study found a link between Soy consumption and reduced hot flashes. Soy may provide long term health benefits as well, as soy appears to protect against bone loss and provide cardiovascular protection. Soy contains phytoestrogens, or naturally occurring estrogen-like compounds. These compounds are also found in other food sources such as legumes (pea- type vegetables) and foods containing lignin such as cereals and grains.
Omega 3 fatty acids also help to alleviate symptoms such as dry skin and provide long-term cardiovascular effects. In addition to supplements, the best sources of these omega 3 oils are fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines. Nutritional supplements such as Folic Acid and B complex vitamins, along with Calcium and Vitamin D provide long term benefits to menopausal women.
Black cohosh herb is a phytoestrogens source that has been shown to reduce many menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, night sweats, and anxiety.
Ease Menopause Symptoms With Combination of 2 Herbals: Black Cohosh & St. John’s Wort
Berlin: German researchers found a combination of St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) and Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) was able to help alleviate psychological and physical complaints associated with menopause.
In the double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study, 301 women with menopausal complaints and psychological symptoms were treated with St. John’s Wort extract and Black Cohosh extract, or placebo, for 16 weeks.
After the treatment period, the mean Menopause Rating Scale score decreased 50 percent in the treatment group and only 19.6 percent in the placebo group. Similarly, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale total score decreased 41.8 percent in the treatment group and only 12.7 percent in the placebo group. There were no major differences between groups regarding adverse events, laboratory values or tolerance.
The researchers concluded the combination of St. John’s Wort and Black Cohosh was superior to placebo in alleviating both the emotional and physical complaints associated with menopause. Their results were published in Obstetrics & Gynecology (107:247- 55,2006).
Black Cohosh May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk By Half According To Study
Women taking supplements of Black Cohosh may cut their risk of breast cancer by more than 50 per cent, suggests an epidemiological study.
The study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, needs additional support from future studies before it can be recommended as a breast cancer preventative. This exciting research offers a new avenue of research for Black Cohosh, the specific herb, most commonly used by women to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes.
Black Cohosh (referred to by the European Medicines Agency, or EMEA, as Cimicifugae racemosae rhizome) is a perennial plant native to North America.
Historically it has been a popular alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in many countries including the UK, where Black Cohosh supplements are regularly purchased in large quantities. Hormone-related supplements containing phytoestrogens, are widely used to manage menopausal symptoms, yet their relationship with breast cancer risk has generally not been evaluated, until now.
The researchers used a population-based case-control study consisting of 949 breast cancer cases and 1,524 controls. Demographic information and the use of hormone-related supplements were identified using questionnaires.
The team reported that herbal use included specific preparations such as Red Clover, Black Cohosh and Ginseng.
The use of Black Cohosh was associated with a 61 per cent reduction in the risk of breast cancer, said the researchers. This risk reduction was also observed for multi-nutrient herbal preparations including ingredients derived from Black Cohosh, which was calculated to reduce the risk of breast cancer by 53 per cent.
The researchers stress that substantial additional research must be undertaken before it can be established that Black Cohosh (or specific compounds found in Black Cohosh) is a breast cancer chemo-preventive agent. Furthermore, women should seek guidance from their physician before using these compounds they concluded.
Previously, concerns have been raised about breast cancer patients taking Black Cohosh supplements in order to alleviate the menopause-like side effects. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine reported that Black Cohosh might interact detrimentally with chemotherapy by increasing cytotoxicity (cell killing) by two of the drugs, doxorubicin and docetaxel. It decreased the cytotoxicity of cisplatin.
Over one million women worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, with the highest incidences in the US and the Netherlands. China has the lowest incidence and mortality rate of the disease.
