Component Properties
Cimicifuga racemosa has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, relieving and eliminating hot flashes, sweating, palpitations and dizziness. Cohosh alleviates symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance during menopause, helps reduce muscle, joint and headaches, improves bone metabolism and leads to a reduction in calcium loss.
Soy isoflavones are substances of plant origin, similar in structure to estrogen, one of the main female sex hormones. They have an estrogen-like effect on the body when there is a lack of its own hormones, and also compensate for the negative effects of estrogen when it is in excess.
The use of isoflavones helps regulate hormonal imbalances during premenstrual syndrome (PMS), helps reduce the main symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, sweating, and headaches. They also stimulate the processes of renewal and strengthening of bone tissue.
Wild yam (Dioscorea) contains substances that are precursors to progesterone and other female hormones. Dioscorea helps normalize hormone levels during PMS and menopause. Wild yam prevents the development of atherosclerosis, has an antispasmodic effect and has a vasodilating effect.
Indole-3-carbinol is found in high concentrations in vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage.
Indole-3-carbinol has the ability to neutralize the negative effects of estrogens during hormonal imbalance during PMS and menopause. An important property of indole-3-carbinol is its ability to reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Stinging nettle extract contains, in addition to vitamins C, B and K, carotenoids, flavonoids, and chlorophyll. Vitamin K is involved in hematopoiesis and has a hemostatic effect, which has a preventive effect in cases of menstrual irregularities. Vitamin K plays an important role in the formation and restoration of bones, ensuring the synthesis of osteocalcin, a bone tissue protein, thereby helping to prevent osteoporosis in menopausal women. Stinging nettle extract has a restorative and antioxidant effect due to its high content of vitamin C and carotenoids. It has a diuretic effect and reduces the symptoms of PMS associated with fluid retention in the body.
Boron (as part of calcium fructoborate, an organic form of boron) enhances the effect of phytoestrogens and helps increase the level of own estrogens in postmenopausal women. Boron significantly reduces the intensity of the development of osteoporosis, which is one of the most dangerous manifestations of menopause.
Vitamin E (natural origin) - softens hot flashes and mood swings, reduces fatigue, dizziness, palpitations and nervousness. Vitamin E helps restore reproductive function, eliminates menstrual irregularities, helps eliminate symptoms of vaginal dryness, and improves the condition of skin, nails, and hair.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) relieves PMS symptoms by reducing swelling caused by water retention in the body. Promotes the synthesis of endogenous endorphins, reducing the symptoms of PMS and menopause. Vitamin B6 increases resistance to stress, helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, and supports the immune system.
Folic acid helps strengthen the immune system and increases the ability to withstand stress and depression. Folic acid has an estrogen-like effect, slowing down the onset of menopause and weakening its symptoms, and also takes an active part in the processes of regulating the functions of the hematopoietic organs and has an antianemic effect.
5-Hydroxytryptophan, an amino acid found in the seeds of the Griffonia plant, is a natural precursor to serotonin. Together with vitamin B6, it increases the synthesis of endorphins, which are responsible for reducing the perception of pain and positive emotions, allowing to alleviate the symptoms of menopausal syndrome, especially hot flashes. 5-hydroxytryptophan is an antidepressant that is effective in treating PMS. It has a beneficial effect on symptoms such as despondency, depression, tension, anxiety, emotional instability, tearfulness, irritability that occur in the last week of the cycle.
D,L-phenylalanine is an amino acid with analgesic properties. This ability of phenylalanine is due to its ability to block enzymes that break down neuropeptides that reduce the sensation of pain. Due to its ability to influence the synthesis of mediators involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, phenylalanine and its derivatives are used as antidepressants.
Estrovel has a positive effect on various manifestations of menopause for a number of symptoms:
helps normalize unstable blood pressure;
reduces the intensity of headaches and dizziness;
