Women Need Extra Nutritional Support
A New Supplement From Top of the World Distributors May Help
UNION CITY, TN (PRWEB) May 27, 2004 -
 Menopause has long been one of the most dreaded time periods in a womanÂs life. Hormonal imbalances, hot flashes, night sweats and more add to the miserable feeling plaguing some women. Help, however, may be as close as you local health food store.
Until recently, most physicians recommended only hormone replacement therapy for their menopausal and post-menopausal patients; those days are over, however, as many have come to realize that supplements can also help with various symptoms associated with this problem.
For example, according to recent studies, soy isoflavones may help alleviate hot flashes and night sweats that many women experience during menopause. Even postmenopausal women who consume high amounts of dietary soy protein generally experience fewer and less intense hot flashes and night sweats.
The herb Black Cohosh has been recommended for depressive moods associated with PMS and menopausal symptoms.
Researchers in Australia have also found a link between Red Clover extract and heart health after menopause. Scientists found that the supplement improved arterial compliance - a measure of elasticity of the large arteries. Declining arterial compliance during and after menopause is known to increase a woman's chance of developing heart disease later in life.
According to German researchers, another supplement - a dried extract of the fruit of the chaste tree - could help women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome find relief from symptoms such as irritability, mood swings, anger, headache, and breast fullness. Vitex Berry has been mentioned in many sources throughout history and is still being recommended today.
Other plant extracts used currently  as well as by herbalists for years  include Dong quai, a Chinese herb high in phytoestrogens. According to scientific investigation, dong quai produces a balancing effect on estrogen activity and a tonic effect on the uterus. Red raspberry and squaw vine have also been shown to be helpful in fighting the symptoms of menopause and post-menopause.
