Menopause and the Modern Woman
Modern life asks a lot of women. Balancing work, family, relationships and personal well-being can be demanding, and menopause may add challenges such as hot flashes, disrupted sleep, fatigue and changes in mood.
While menopause is a natural transition, the experience is different for every woman. Symptoms can vary in type, frequency and intensity, and may affect physical comfort, emotional well-being and everyday life.
Menopause also does not happen all at once. The hormonal changes associated with perimenopause can begin several years before the final menstrual period, and symptoms may continue into post-menopause. For some women, the changes are manageable. For others, they can affect sleep, energy, concentration and mood. Finding the right support can make it easier to manage these changes and feel more like yourself.
Health First Whole Woman Supreme combines clinically studied EstroG-100® with medicinal mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs to help relieve menopausal symptoms and mental fatigue, improve stamina, and support a healthy stress response.
Menopausal Support with EstroG-100®
EstroG-100® is a patented blend of three herbs—Angelica gigas, Cynanchum wilfordii and Phlomis umbrosa—that has been clinically studied for its ability to help relieve menopausal symptoms.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, EstroG-100® was associated with improvements in a range of menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, sleep disturbances, nervousness, fatigue, dizziness, joint discomfort and vaginal dryness.¹ More recent clinical research also demonstrated improvements in the frequency and severity of hot flashes in postmenopausal women.²
This blend provides targeted support for some of the symptoms that can make menopause more difficult to manage.
Stress Support with Medicinal Mushrooms and Adaptogens
Menopause often occurs during an already busy time of life. Work, family responsibilities, relationships and personal changes can all contribute to stress, while menopausal symptoms may add to the physical and emotional demands women are managing.
Short-term activation of the body’s stress response helps us respond to a challenge. When stress continues over time, however, it can affect sleep, energy, concentration and emotional well-being. These effects may also overlap with menopausal symptoms, making it difficult to tell one from the other.
Whole Woman Supreme combines lion’s mane, reishi, astragalus and American ginseng to complement the menopausal support provided by EstroG-100®. These medicinal mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs have been selected to help relieve mental fatigue, improve stamina and support a healthy stress response.
Menopause does not happen in isolation. Supporting the body’s response to stress and mental fatigue can be an important part of supporting overall well-being during this stage of life.
Menopause is a natural transition, but that does not mean women should have to simply put up with the symptoms. Health First Whole Woman Supreme can help relieve menopausal symptoms and mental fatigue while supporting stamina and a healthy stress response, helping women feel more comfortable and more like themselves throughout the transition.
