 More Information about Women's Formula Pro 45+

After the life stage in which the female body undergoes constant changes due to the female hormonal cycle, a new balance in the woman's hormonal system begins to emerge from around the age of 45. The transition to this next life stage can unfortunately be accompanied by unpleasant menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and irritability for some women. Women's Formula Pro 45+ is a carefully formulated blend with ingredients that are particularly suitable for providing support during the menopausal period. We have chosen herbs of the highest quality and purity, supported by strong scientific evidence. This unique product, designed for women aged 45 and above, can help maintain mental and physical balance during menopause.

Maca Maca is a root vegetable that naturally grows at high altitudes in the Andes Mountains in Peru. Peruvians have traditionally used Maca for its beneficial effects on both physical and mental health. Maca is known as an 'adaptogen,' a herb that supports the body in dealing with various physical and mental challenges, helping to maintain balance. Human studies have shown that Maca has a positive influence on the body's natural hormonal balance during menopause, without exerting a phytoestrogenic effect itself. There are different types of Maca with distinct phytochemical compositions and efficacy, distinguished by the color of the root (including yellow, red, and black). Black Maca, due to its specific ratio of characteristic compounds like glucosinolates and lignans, is considered a typical 'men's Maca,' while yellow Maca (with different glucosinolates) is seen as 'women's Maca.' Maca-GO® is a specially developed Maca concentrate, consisting of a unique combination of Maca types most effective in supporting hormonal balance during menopause. Maca-GO® is manufactured by Natural Health Ingredients using a unique production process that preserves the naturally occurring phytonutrients in untreated Maca. An additional production step ensures optimal absorption of Maca-GO® as a supplement.

Black Cohosh The most commonly used herb for menopausal symptoms is Black Cohosh, a crucial component of Women's Formula Pro 45+. Human studies indicate that Black Cohosh can provide support for hot flashes, mood swings, and irritability. The mechanisms of action of Black Cohosh are not entirely clear, but it does not contain phytoestrogens, as previously believed. The Black Cohosh extract used in Women's Formula Pro 45+ is standardized to 2.5% triterpene glycosides, active compounds found in the plant's root.

Ashwagandha Like Maca, Ashwagandha is a herb with powerful adaptogenic properties that can help maintain mental and physical balance. The active substances in the root extract support the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, providing a relaxing and calming effect. Ashwagandha is often used in stress situations and to support emotional stability. Women's Formula Pro 45+ contains a generous dose of the renowned Ashwagandha extract KSM-66® from the manufacturer Ixoreal. Fourteen years of research preceded the development of this unique extract. KSM-66® uses a specially developed extraction method (without toxic or environmentally harmful solvents) to obtain a broad-spectrum extract that preserves the natural properties of the original plant. Ixoreal also consciously chooses to use only untreated Ashwagandha plants. In summary, KSM-66® not only has the best quality but is also the most researched and well-supported Ashwagandha extract globally.

Pine Bark Extract Pycnogenol® is a patented and standardized extract from the bark (outer part of the bark) of the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), a pine species that grows on the southwest coast of France. Pines are traditionally referred to as pine trees. The extract is rich in various types of polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and organic acids (including ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, and coffee acid). There is a long tradition of using Pycnogenol®—it has been applied as a dietary supplement for about 40 years. It is now one of the most thoroughly researched nutrients in the world, with more than 300 scientific publications. Pycnogenol® has strong antioxidant properties and can help protect various body cells against free radicals. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining good blood circulation and flexible blood vessels.
