EstroCare Ingredients

Vitamin A 700 MCG - Vitamin a is essential to help the human body develop and maintain healthy bones, eyes, lungs, skin, and vaginal membranes, as well as to support the health and functions of the immune system. This makes it an extremely important vitamin for women to take to combat menopausal symptoms (1). 

Vitamin B6 1 MG - Vitamin B6 contains 6 different compounds that affect more than 140 coenzyme reactions in the human body. It is especially useful for improving the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain, which helps keep the brain cells healthy and functioning correctly. 
It can make it easier to enter the most restful kind of sleep, known as REM sleep, and boost your energy levels, metabolism, hormonal balance, recovery, and sleep quality, all of which is beneficial for women suffering from menopause symptoms (2). 

Vitamin B12 2.4 MCG - Vitamin b12 is essential for effective brain and nerve development and functions, but it is especially useful to menopausal women for its ability to prevent fatigue, mood swings, depression, and weight gain, promote greater rest and recovery, regulate your hormone levels, and boost your metabolism. It can then also improve your bone marrow, DNA, nerve, and red blood cell production, prevent brain fog, mental decline, and problems like vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, boost your mental clarity, and enhance your immune system to support your overall health (3).
 
Vitamin C 25 MG - Vitamin c is an antioxidant that is very well known for its ability to help the body maintain the health and functions of the brain and immune system. However, it is also very good for helping to keep the skin looking young, the bones and joints healthy, and collagen being produced at the rate it should. All of these benefits are extremely beneficial to prevent the symptoms caused by the menopause or low oestrogen levels (4). 

Vitamin D 15 MCG - Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that is vital for menopausal women to get enough of, as declining oestrogen levels can make it very easy for them to become vitamin d deficient. Taking it in supplements will therefore help to prevent hormonal imbalances and menopause symptoms like weight gain, mood swings, and poor bone health and density. Keeping your levels high will also improve your protein synthesis, energy levels, nutrient breakdown and absorption, recovery time, sleep quality, and ability to relax and fall asleep, all of which is beneficial while going through the menopause (5). 

DHEA 100 MG - DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands that controls the production of both oestrogen and testosterone, and taking it in supplements will help menopausal women to regain an optimal hormonal balance. 
Not only that, but it can also help them avoid weight gain, depression, and sexual dysfunction, and improve their bone, heart, and immune system health, mood, libido, energy levels, endurance, insulin sensitivity, and physical performance (6). 

Iron 6 MG - Older women are at a significantly greater risk of developing an iron deficiency and dealing with the health problems this causes, especially when they are going through the menopause. This means preventing it with supplements such as this is vital to keep menopausal women strong and healthy. Doing so will prevent anaemia, low energy levels, fatigue, weakness, unhealthy skin, chest pains, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, brittle nails and bones, headaches, dizziness, cold extremities, light-headedness, and inflammation (7). 

Zinc 8 MG - The mineral Zinc can prevent inflammation, weakness, tiredness, anxiety, low libido, and hormone imbalances, and boost eye health, night vision, and nerve and immune system health and functions, which is all very beneficial to help older women going through the menopause function as usual (8). 

Black Cohosh 120 MG - Black cohosh is a plant native to eastern North America and its extract is one of the most popular and effective treatments for menopause symptoms on Earth. It has the ability to alter the rate at which certain neurotransmitters and hormones are produced, enabling it to prevent or relieve hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and other sleep disturbances (9). 

Red Clover 80 MG - Red clover extract is rich in polyphenolic compounds known as isoflavones, which have the ability to ease hot flashes, prevent night sweats, regulate hormone levels, strengthen the bones, and keep the body and lungs healthy. It is especially useful for menopausal women who suffer from asthma (10). 

Soy Isoflavones 100 MG - Soy isoflavones are a pure form of the polyphenolic compounds found in red clover and provide the same benefits, only to an even more impressive degree (11). 

Ginseng Extract 300 MG - Ginseng extract is produced from the roots of plants in the panax family and it is extremely useful for improving people’s mental health and helping menopausal women combat their symptoms. Its ability to help restore your natural hormonal balance is particularly useful for menopausal women, while it can also boost their cognitive functions, energy levels, and sex drive, and prevent fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings, sleeplessness, and vaginal dryness (12). 

Bifidobacterium Animalis & Lactobacillus Gasseri 6 Million CFU Of Each - Bifidobacterium animalis and Lactobacillus gasseri are a pair of extremely effective probiotics, which are a type of healthy bacteria that live inside your gut. Using them to boost your internal gut microbiota balance will not only improve digestion, but it can also help to combat some of the less discussed menopause symptoms, such as poor gut health, bloating, and vaginal dryness (13). 

5-HTP 200 MG - 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is an amino acid that can cross the blood brain barrier far more easily than most other compounds, making it an extremely effective way to increase the brain’s production of serotonin. 
This means it has the ability to significantly improve sleep quality and fat metabolism, help you relax, and prevent mood swings, anxiety, depression, weight gain, and food cravings, all of which can be major issues for post menopausal women (14). 

Calcium Citrate 100 MG - Calcium is a mineral found in most dairy products that is famous for its ability to boost the health of the bones, joints, and heart. This will stop your bone density from deteriorating, which is a common symptom of the menopause. 
It can then also balance your hormone levels and make it easier to both fall asleep, enter REM sleep, and wake up feeling fresh, all of which is greatly beneficial for menopausal women (15). 

Chromium 200 MCG - The metal element and mineral chromium is extremely useful in menopause supplements as it is not only proven to boost calcium absorption, but it can also relieve menopause symptoms and provide a variety of health benefits that would be useful to menopausal women on its own. 
This includes it being able to regulate blood sugar levels, preserve bone and muscle mass, prevent food cravings, blood sugar spikes, and weight gain, and boost nutrient breakdown, energy levels, sleep quality, serotonin production, brain functions, weight loss, and your metabolism (16).
