Black Cohosh is an herb that provides a natural way to normalize hormonal changes and moderate the uncomfortable changes that accompany menopause.† Numerous studies have been done using black cohosh. Studies have identified the isoflavone phytoestrogen formononetin as the most likely candidate for the effects of black cohosh on female health. This compound has been shown to help support normal, healthy levels of luteinizing hormone (LH).† Increased LH levels, which are often the result of declining estrogen levels, are typically responsible for the changes associated with menopause. Dong quai and chasteberry are included for their synergistic effects.   Features European standardized Black Cohosh from Euromed, a world leader in European standardized extracts. Standardized to the most active compounds triterpene glycosides. Provides clinically effective dosages of dong quai and chasteberry.   Benefits Therapeutic dose of standardized Black Cohosh from Euromed; contains active ingredients identical to the material used in most of the clinical studies that demonstrated health benefits for black cohosh. Dong quai is included in this formula as it helps support a normal, healthy response to female hormone imbalance.† Chasteberry helps support normal, healthy levels of lutenizing hormone (LH) and prolactin.† By doing this, chasteberry can help provide support for symptoms associated with menopause.†   LABEL

The primary ingredients in this formula Suntheanine® and Relora® are backed by scientific research and have been shown to be safe and effective without causing drowsiness.†   Features Suntheanine® brand of L-Theanine; a “calming” amino acid found in green tea.

Relora helps control stress related overeating, and associated body weight issues.† Relora® has also been shown to help support healthy sleep patterns.† Valerian has been shown to promote relaxation as well as a restful sleep.† Scullcap, hops and passionflower provide a significant synergistic effect by helping to promote relaxation.†   Relora also helps support emotional well-being and diminish stress-related sugary cravings to promote healthy eating habits.* L-Theanine is a relaxing and nondietary amino acid found pretty much exclusively in teas from Camellia sinensis (alongside green tea catechins and caffeine) and is known to promote relaxation without sedation. Researchers in Japan gave volunteers 200 mg of L-theanine daily and recorded their sleep patterns on devices worn around their wrists. The L-theanine didn't cause the subjects to sleep longer, but it did cause them to sleep better. It was documented that sleep quality, recovery from exhaustion, and refreshed feelings were all enhanced by L-theanine. Those taking L-theanine felt like they slept longer than they actually did.21 This is good news for people who don't get enough sleep, or those who want to sleep less and do more. Today, chamomile is used as a dietary supplement for sleeplessness, anxiety, and gastrointestinal conditions such as upset stomach, gas, and diarrhea. Some preliminary studies suggest that a chamomile dietary supplement might be helpful for generalized anxiety disorder.

A positive mood is supported by normal, healthy levels of specific neurotransmitters in the brain. Several nutrients are involved in the production of these neurotransmitters. We created our Mood Support formula to help address the “deficiencies” that might contribute to difficulty in stabilizing a person’s mood. There are several herbs and other nutraceuticals that may help support a “healthy” mood. St. John’s Wort is widely regarded for its mood supporting benefits.† Siberian Eleutherococcus is an effective adaptogen, which has been shown to support healthy stress response and a natural “boost” in energy levels.† Numerous scientific studies show 5- HTP is of benefit in individuals with mood disorders.† 5-HTP has many advantages over L-tryptophan. Besides being safer to produce and arguably more potent, it can cross the very selective blood-brain barrier more easily than L-tryptophan. Once it passes through the blood-brain barrier it is able to help increase levels of serotonin; a neurotransmitter, whose levels are positively associated with mood.† Features EuroMed European Standardized St. John’s Wort. Standardized to 0.3% hypericin. Griffonia bean extract standardized to 98% L-5-HTP. L-tyrosine for neurotransmitter synthesis. Inositol serves as an important messenger molecule in the brain.   Benefits St. John’s Wort supports a normal positive outlook.† Studies have shown a benefit in mild to moderate mood disorders.† St. John’s has not been studied for major depression and therefore should not be used for such. Twenty out of twenty-three clinical studies (including 2,745 patients) on European standardized St. John’s Wort demonstrated positive results for depression. Five of these studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (totaling 626 patients), and showed significant benefits without significant side effects. Eleven clinical studies have been done comparing St. John’s Wort to prescription antidepressants, concluding that it is effective for mild to moderate mood disorders.† Our St. John’s Wort is made to the exact same specifications as that used in the studies. Siberian Eleuthero is an adaptogen which helps provides support for a healthy response to stress, which in turn may help support a better mood and brighter “outlook”.† L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is used to manufacture neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine both required for normal, brain, and nervous system function.†
