How It Works

Flax Seed

Flax seeds are rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids that promote a healthy circulatory system. In addition, flax seeds naturally contain lignans, which are phytoestrogens that provide powerful health benefits, including boosting the immune system and maintaining hormone balance. Phytoestrogens act like weak estrogens in the body. Flax lignans may help relieve the symptoms of menopause and balance the effects of estrogen in the body by attaching to estrogen receptors. Some clinical trials have shown that flax seeds can play an important role in promoting breast health, particularly in postmenopausal women.

Pomegranate

Pomegranate fruit is loaded with natural polyphenols, flavonoids and other antioxidants that support cardiovascular health, glandular function, and more. Pomegranate antioxidants, including ellagic acid, help block the effects of damaging free radicals and reduce oxidative stress that contributes to aging and poor health. Research suggests that ellagic acid also supports breast health and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

Calcium D-Glucarate

Calcium d-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, a substance naturally produced in small amounts in the body and also found in certain fruits and vegetables, including oranges, apples, grapefruit, and cruciferous vegetables. Calcium d-glucarate aids liver detoxification and the excretion of environmental toxins. It may also help with healthy estrogen metabolism and maintaining already-normal cholesterol levels.

Kudzu

Kudzu root extract may help improve the menopausal experience for some women as it supports a balanced hormonal profile. Kudzu, a climbing vine native to Asia, has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. Kudzu root is rich in antioxidants that protect cells from free radical damage. Kudzu root also contains phytoestrogens that may help relieve common menopausal complaints, as well as balance the effects of estrogen in the body by attaching to estrogen receptors.

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid with powerful antioxidant properties that helps protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals. Lutein is found in the eyes, brain, cervix, breast tissue and other organs and tissues. Lutein is not manufactured in the body so it must be obtained from food or through supplementation. Lutein is found naturally in foods such as dark green leafy vegetables, egg yolks and some fruits, as well as marigold petals.

Maitake Mushroom

Maitake mushroom stimulates immune system activity. Maitake mushrooms bring nature’s power to bear to support your health and vitality. Mushrooms like maitake are known to be rich in long-chain polysaccharides like beta-glucan that activate immune cells: natural killer cells, macrophages, interleukin-1 and cytotoxic T-cells. This tricks the body into thinking it is being invaded. Mushroom polysaccharides have been shown to stimulate both the innate (first line of defense) and adaptive (more specific defense) immune systems, leading to immune cell activation and the production of messengers that positively regulate both immune system branches.
