Balance your hormones
There are three main hormonal phases a woman’s body goes through during her life. Do you know which phase you are currently experiencing?
After childbearing years, a woman enters menopause where estrogen and progesterone begin to decline. In perimenopause, which occurs at the onset of menopause, hormones begin to fluctuate dramatically. Scientists have evidence that estrogen levels will ultimately drop 40 to 60 percent, while progesterone can decline even more dramatically. There are more and more women who do not want conventional hormone replacement therapy and are opting for a more natural approach to balancing their hormones.
I am a big fan of the Estera™ range, as they are unique and highly effective plant-based formulas. Each formula is designed to support women at each stage of life. It is almost impossible to get these ingredients even through a good diet.
1. Estera Phase III™ (Women’s Maintenance) was developed to support women in both pre and post-menopause stage.
Estera Phase III™ Maintenance contains:
Genistein and diadzin—two well-studied phytoestrogens from soy.
Pomegranate, a complementary phytoestrogen and a novel flavonoid with one of the highest antioxidant levels found in nature.
Phytoestrogens, which are plant-based compounds, as well as enzyme inducers to provide a high concentration of phytoestrogens that have a mild estrogen receptor binding effect and are metabolized easily and safely.
Hormones are involved in almost every function of the body—from the reproductive cycle, to how fast your heart beats to how your skin grows and wrinkles. They affect how much you remember and how sharp your thinking is, to how much energy you have on any given day. They influence how your bones and muscles grow or disintegrate, where your body stores fat, and the strength and direction of all your emotions. Estera Phase III™ is designed to support a woman in the years before and after menopause, helping maintain healthy hormone levels for a healthy life.
2. Estera Phase II™ (Women’s Transition) was developed for women who are experiencing the effects of menopause. Studies have shown that these ingredients can help relieve common symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Estera II™ Transition contains:
Brassica oleracea var botrytis (broccoli)
Trifolium pratense (Red Clover) extract,
Punica granatum (pomegranate) extract
Flaxseed powder lignans that work with the liver to help promote a healthy ratio of estrogen metabolites.
Phytoestrogens, compounds that in the body act similarly to estrogen.
Did you know?
Menopause leads to bone loss due to the loss of estrogen. In fact, women may experience as much as a 20 percent drop in bone density in the five to seven years after menopause, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Osteoporosis is a silent and serious disease.
