ThyroLife Menopause

What is available to treat Menopausal Symptoms?

If you are perimenopausal or menopausal, the wide fluctuations of hormone levels are likely to affect your brain neurotransmitters and you may be experiencing vasomotor instability. You may be experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances; you may become more forgetful and may have cognitive changes. Nearly 4 out of 5 women reaching the hormonal transition will start experiencing menopausal symptoms. Declining estrogen levels can make you more vulnerable to depression and anxiety. Conventional forms of treatment of menopausal symptoms have been

-hormonal replacement therapy

-clonidine to treat vasomotor symptoms

-anti-depressants (primarily serotonin reuptake inhibitors to support serotonin)

You may be reluctant to take hormones or anti-depressants or these treatments have not helped. You have an alternative; a well-balanced mix of herbs and natural constituents that can help you tremendously with your symptoms and can make you symptom free again. Of all the natural supplements including herbal and botanical derivatives that have been recommended for menopausal symptoms, the ones that are most effective when used alone are black cohosh, isoflavones from soy, isoflavones from red clover, and maca root.

What is ThyroLife Menopause?

ThyroLife Menopause has been originally designed for thyroid patients who are going through the menopausal transition, who have the annoying symptoms of menopause, and who have chosen to not receive hormonal replacement therapy. But actually ThyroLife Menopause works the same way and is as effective in women who do not have a thyroid disorder. It is quite effective for anyone and works well because it combines, in appropriate amounts, four forms of natural botanical derivatives that provide relief of symptoms and enhancement of well being with little undesirable effects. The mix of ThyroLife Menopause is unique and includes phosphatidyldserine that has beneficial effects on cognition.

Botanical Derivatives of ThyroLife Menopause

ThyroLife Menopause has 5 active ingredients that include 4 botanical derivatives:

-Maca Root is an adaptogen. It is a cruciferous root vegetable that has been used for 10,000 years. It promotes hormonal balance and helps with the production of estrogen and reduces hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Maca root helps with your libido and will improve forgetfulness. It does not contain plant estrogens.

-The plant estrogens contained in Black Cohosh mimics natural estrogens in a mild form. Some research has shown that 4 out of 5 women who have received black cohosh supplement have an improvement in their menopausal symptoms. Black Cohosh works on the hypothalamus as well, which is involved in body temperature regulation and in triggering some of the menopausal symptoms related to estrogen deficiency.

-Soy Isoflavones enhance estrogen activity because they have a chemical structure that looks like natural estrogens. This is why soy isoflavones are effective in easing menopausal symptoms.

-Red Clover Isoflavones are also chemicals that act like natural estrogens and help with menopausal symptoms. As estrogen levels fall, red clover isoflavones will compensate for the deficit and will ease menopausal symptoms.

-Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid (a form of fat) which is crucial for normal brain functioning. It improves the way brain cells speak to each other and phosphatidylserine supplement has been shown to improve cognitive function. It is a quite safe supplement.

Thyroid and Menopause

Thyroid patients are more likely to have menopausal symptoms as they go through the menopausal transition than non thyroid patients. Having had a thyroid imbalance during the reproductive years makes a woman more vulnerable to experiencing vasomotor symptoms, anxiety, depression, and night sweats when they become menopausal, even if at the time of menopause thyroid levels are perfectly normal. During the hormonal transition, thyroid imbalance makes menopausal symptoms worse and may even trigger menopausal symptoms in someone who has never had symptoms related to menopause. You also need to know that an immune attack on the thyroid (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and hypothyroidism) at the time of menopause is quite common and may affect as many as 10 to 15% of menopausal women. This is why thyroid patients often have hard times when they are about to become menopausal or when they become menopausal. ThyroLife Menopause, because of its unique composition, can address the many menopausal concerns of thyroid patients.
