Articles about herbal remedies for menopause

A Personal Message from Dini Petty

Nutrafem is a herbal remedy, a natural botanical product that has been clinically proven to be safe and effective while having no contraindications. 

The North American Menopause Society Journal published the Nutrafem Clinical Trial making Nutrafem the only alternative menopause product available with a published clinical trial that proves Nutrafem is effective.

There are two ingredients in Nutrafem: Eucommia Ulmoides, an ancient Chinese herb that qualifies as a tonic which means there are no side effects and a mung bean called Vigna rigata . The only warning is for those of you who have a latex allergy as Eucommia is harvested from a renewable source of rubber tree.Nutrafem does not contain black cohosh, dong quai, red clover or soy

Dr.Christine Northup,  M.D., pioneer and visionary in the field of women's health, with many specials on PBS and was a regular on OPRAH states  On page 556 of Women's Bodies, Women's wisdom, one her latest books

 "A new and very promising natural phytoestrogenic supplement called  Nutrafem was found to reduce hot flashes by 46 percent in one study  (47). The researchers further reported that 43 percent of women taking Nutrafem ( a formulation of two botanical extracts--Eucommia ulmoides and bark and Vigna radiata, or mung beans) experienced a 50 percent reduction in menopausal symptoms. Women reported relief after seven days of taking this supplement."

Nutrafem is NOT a bio-identical hormone or hormone replacement therapy.

Nutrafem relieves, reduces and/or eliminates the following issues for menopausal or peri menopausal women.

• hot flashes
• night sweats
• tiredness
• depression
• vaginal dryness
• joint and muscle aches
• lack of concentration
• urinary urgency
• anxiety
• mood swings
• sagging skin tone
• lack of concentration
• brain fog
• headaches - one symptom we'd gotten feedback on repeatedly (but which never appeared on any menopause symptom list before. These were reported by women who never had headaches before their menopause years. Testimonials reported headaches disappeared when they used Nutrafem.

Two things I want you to know about taking Nutrafem:

1. You will see changes within the first two weeks and often sooner. The report we hear most often is " I finally slept through the night!" or "My hot flashes are reducing!" Once the changes begin things will only get better. It takes 12 weeks to re-balance your endocrine system completely since your major organs cycle hormones at different times. Once you are through the first twelve weeks of consistently using Nutrafem then start reducing the amount you are taking. For example if you take three a day, reduce your dosage to two a day for one week then try one a day for a week. If symptoms come back you can increase your dosage.

2. Some women may experience fluctuating symptoms if they decided to switch to Nutrafem from HRT or bio-identical hormones. That's because your pituitary gland (the master gland that controls your endocrine system) has been storing an overabundance of the hormones you've been in jesting while on HRT or bio-identicals. Also affected are your adrenal glands which have slowed down. Once the ovaries stop functioning in the menopause years (or have been surgically removed) the adrenal glands are largely responsible to produce the replacement hormones. I had a tough time coming off HRT but hang in there  and your adrenal glands will come back and start functioning at optimal levels.

Nutrafem works and recently we have been able to reduce the price. If you have any questions that you want to discuss with your Doctor please take our Doctor's information sheet with you on your next visit.
