Feature Summary
For many women, the transition from pre- to post menopause can be arduous. Changing hormone levels can lead to increased risk for both heart disease and osteoporosis, while inducing uncomfortable shorter-term issues such as vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats), insomnia, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and reduction in libido.
MenoVantage PE is a potent formulation of botanicals and nutrients at clinically relevant doses for reducing perimenopausal symptoms. Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for menopausal symptom relief. Randomized double-blinded trials have shown a reduction in climacteric symptoms without an estrogenic effect when a standardized extract is used. Chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) extract is well known for modulating FSH/LH levels and mitigating premenstrual symptoms, and holds promise for reducing menopausal symptoms as well, particularly difficulty sleeping. Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for reducing menopausal symptoms.
The traditional botanicals found in MenoVantage PE are complemented by gamma-oryzanol, derived from rice bran.This natural substance has been found not only to reduce menopausal symptoms in 85% of participants, but also to improve cardiovascular risk factors, including LDL cholesterol, a concern for many perimenopausal women. Hesperidin, a citrus bioflavonoid derived from oranges, provides relief for vasomotor symptoms of menopause, as well as potent anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits.
