Usana PhytoEstrin - Nutritional care during menopause

By Angela Giles

Usana PhytoEstrin is a broad spectrum phytoestrogen product that provides relief from common menopausal symptoms in women. It is produced by Usana Health Sciences, known for its superior nutritional care products.

Menopause marks the end of the females' reproductive cycle. It usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age and is accompanied by various hormonal changes. There is a diminishing of the production of reproductive hormones like estrogens and progesterone. This leads to various ill-effects on the woman's health.

Many physicians advise a combination of exercise, proper diet and nutritional supplementation for maintaining health during this phase. The suggested supplements are Vitamin E, Vitamin B5 (panthothenic acid) and calcium. Another effective supplement is phytoestrogen, which are estrogen-like botanical compounds.

Phytoestrogens are sometimes nicknamed 'dietary estrogens' which are similar in structure to estrogens and produce similar effects. They are prepared from naturally occurring compounds in plants like grains, legumes and some fruits. Since women's bodies stops producing estrogen during and after menopause, taking phytoestrogen supplements have proved to be beneficial in promoting cardiovascular health and bone health.

Usana PhytoEstrin supplement contains phytoestrogen from 5 different sources along with isoflavones essential for the health of women. It also contains a unique combination of herbs that complement the activity of the soy isoflavones: black cohosh, dong quai, licorice-root extract, and chasteberry powder.

A unique formulation in all respects, Usana PhytoEstrin helps in addressing a number of health issues in women related to hormonal changes during the pre-, peri- and post-menopause period. Usana PhytoEstrin is a laboratory tested product of the highest quality and adheres to the standards set by USP.

Usana and its products have been consistently recognized in various surveys to be the finest in nutritional care for the young and the old alike.
