Feminine Balance
Benefits
Menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, irritability, night sweats, vaginal dryness, libido loss, and difficulty concentrating are due to much more than just a lack of estrogen. Feminine Balance is an herbal blend formulated to balance these other complex factors without the risks associated with prescription hormone therapy. These synergistic herbs provide women with an alternative, complementary treatment that is natural and safe.
Ingredients
Sage (Salvia officinalis) herb extractSage gently balances hormones with its phytoestrogens, plant-based components that mimic the body’s own naturally-produced estrogen. These do not override hormones in the same way as birth control or hormone replacement prescriptions. Sage also calms the nervous system by binding to GABA receptors in the brain (GABA is an important neurotransmitter that plays a major role in calming and mood balance). It reduces hot flashes and night sweats with its anti-perspiration features, and it improves memory and mental clarity. |
Sarsaparilla (Smilax aspera) root extractThis herb native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean tastes like root beer and balances hormones and neurochemicals! It contains sarsasapogenin saponins, antibacterial chemical constituents that heal the joints, liver, and reproductive system. Other chemical components in sarsaparilla increase sexual drive and function by improving glandular function and stabilizing production of testosterone and progesterone. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties relieve joint pain, digestion issues, and skin problems. |
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) herb extractThis plant is packed with vitamins and nutrients, and it balances hormones through its phytoestrogen compounds. Genistein, a phytoestrogen found in alfalfa, maintains bone density by stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption. Hot flashes and night sweats are largely due to imbalanced neurotransmitters in the brain, and alfalfa balances these chemical messengers to relieve menopausal symptoms and support sleep. Its antioxidant properties also stabilize DNA and reduce cell death associated with free radicals. |
Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) root extractNot to be confused with yams at Thanksgiving dinner, wild yams have historically been used to alleviate menstrual and menopausal symptoms. Their main component is a chemical called diosgenin. Although it was long thought that diosgenin was converted to progesterone in the body, this is only true in a lab. Instead, wild yam root is beneficial because it supports the body’s ability to make its own progesterone from adrenal glands or ovaries. Wild yam root also fights cancer by signalling cells involved in inflammation, apoptosis, cell differentiation, and proliferation. |
Evening Primrose (Oenanthera biennis) oilNative to North America, Evening Primrose is used to alleviate menstrual and menopausal symptoms, nerve pain, osteoporosis, skin problems, and autoimmune conditions. Its seeds contain gamma-linolenic fatty acid, which reduces pain and inflammation, provides building blocks for the proper production of hormones, and manages the chemical messengers that keep hormones in balance with each other. |
