PHYTOESTROGENS AND THE MENOPAUSE

Since this is a holistic blog, I will always seek out holistic therapies first and of course I lectured in holistic therapies

At the moment I am trying FX MENOPAUSE 3™ (A food supplement) to help with hot flushes and night sweats which have been very debilitating. I was having 30 to 40 of these per day. A week in to taking this supplement I'm averaging 8 to 11 and in time hoping to reduce them further hopefully to zero. Early days but this supplement is very promising.

In many Asian countries, women in menopause don’t find it necessary to turn to HRT. This is attributed to the high levels of phytoestrogens consumed in their diets. Phytoestrogens are found in virtually everything we eat - grains, beans, nuts, seeds, seed oils, berries, fruits, vegetables, and roots - and have been shown to have both oestrogenic and antioestrogenic properties (over a 1000 are known).

For Japanese women, a wide range of commonly consumed foods contain amounts of these different phytoestrogens. For example, Coumestans, a class of phytoestrogen, which are over 30 times more potent than the widely regarded Soy isoflavones, can be found in high concentration in bean sprouts. Unfortunately the average western diet offers a much lower intake of phytoestrogens, hence the need to use a dietary supplement.

FX MENOPAUSE 3™ ADDS EXTRA PHYTOESTROGENS (SOURCED FROM FOOD) TO YOUR EXISTING DIET

FX menopause is a proprietary extract of phytoestrogen from Mung beans. Mung beans have been a part of Asian cuisine for thousands of years. When sprouted they are usually just called bean sprouts. 

Background Scientific & Biomedical Information for fx menopause

The human oestrogen receptor has two isoforms alpha and beta. Both isoforms are responsible for mediating the physiological actions of oestrogens such as estradiol in humans, particularly women. The oestrogen receptor plays a vital role in many aspects of human biology such as bone density, collagen synthesis, menstrual cycle, primary and secondary female phenotypic characteristics such as breast development, body fat etc. Consequently, either hypo (too low) oestrogen or hyper (too high) oestrogen levels can contribute to disorders such as osteoporosis and breast cancer respectively.
