Hormone Balance Before/During/After Menopause

Do these symptoms sound familiar?
             Headaches   Fatigue   Bloating   Sore Breasts   Depression   Stress           
              Hot Flashes   Bones and Joints   Sex and Sexuality   Self-esteem

This is a collection of PMS and menopause symptoms. Although no one knows exactly if all women have one or more of them, it is theorized that they have an unbalanced or lower than average progesterone levels.*

* In order to understand what some women go through each month, we need to understand what happens during the menstrual cycle. Estrogen is the dominant hormone during the first week after menses.

When ovulation occurs, progesterone levels rise and then dominate over estrogen during the two weeks before menstruation. If there is too much estrogen or not enough progesterone during these two weeks, there is an abnormal exposure to estrogen dominance, which sets the stage for the symptoms that occur.

Also, very few doctors give their patients a complete list of  PMS and menopause symptoms. And besides menopause symptoms, there are premenopause symptoms and perimenopause symptoms.

First, it’s a long list, to be sure and a woman’s time in a doctor’s office could get very long if she asked about even just a few of these. Whatever the reason you may want to take a moment to consider each one, as some are very subtle and have no real outward symptoms.

For others, you may be experiencing some of them and recognize them immediately. Of course, some of these symptoms can be related to other health issues besides hormone imbalance.

Each of the symptoms can also be related to hormone imbalance, poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, a lack of or poor quality of sleep, an exposure to household chemicals, environmental toxins, synthetic hormone replacement therapy, birth control pills and stress.

And some women have some of these symptoms and simply shrug them off and do nothing. If you have one or more of these symptoms, you need to re-evaluate your health and wellness!

Relief is available in a natural product… PLUS

PLUS leads the market with one of the highest concentrations of natural plant-based phytosterols and is designed to provide raw materials for the body to balance the hormones.

Just as glyconutrients are necessary for good cell to cell communication plant hormones are required for healthy communication between human organs and organ systems.

Plant hormones help support the body’s natural hormone functions:
Mood
Mental Alertness
Happiness
Temperature
Hunger
Sex Drive
Fat Metabolism
Stress
Sleep
Energy
Metabolic Rate

PLUS (phytosterols) is designed to provide raw materials for the body to use for endocrine support to help build body health and wellness protection, recover when run down and support other bodily functions

Phytosterols are certain plants that contain hormone building blocks. Researchers are finding that phytosterols can have tremendous health-promoting effects on:

                  Stress   Cancer     Heart Disease     Arthritis     Diabetes
                Depression     PMS     Too Much Fat     Hormone Balance

Phytosterols are better for you than synthetic progesterone (progestins) because progestins and progesterone-like substances are patentable by drug companies and are not as safe as natural progesterone from plant sources, and may not provide the full spectrum of biological activity needed for hormonal balance.

PLUS caplets are designed to provide raw materials for the body to use for endocrine support, the system that maintains hormonal balance in the body. PLUS does not contain hormones, rather it provides nutrients to help support the endocrine system’s natural production and balance of hormones.

You can get a prescription for most hormone replacement therapies. Some are even over the counter. Unfortunately, all synthetic hormones have potentially damaging side effects.

Phytosterols (PLUS), on the other hand, are natural substances found in plants. When humans eat plant foods, phytosterols are ingested and can naturally balance the hormone system before, during and after menopause restoring the body to its optimal functioning without causing side effects.

A PLUS capsule taken two or three times a day will cost less than your morning cup of coffee.
