History and Usage:
As a woman ages, her body experiences a number of changes. Many of these changes are the result of shifting hormone levels. This leads to changes in the menstrual cycle and eventually culminates in menopause with it many uncomfortable side effects.
Vitabase Woman’s Support is a combination of natural herbs and supplements designed to naturally support hormone levels and alleviate many of the symptoms a woman may experience as her body changes.
Black Cohosh has a history of use for women’s health issues dating back to Native Americans. Today it finds widespread application in gynecological issues from menstruation to menopause. It is particularly useful for menopausal symptoms due to its estrogenic effect on the body.
Menopausal symptoms vary from woman to woman but among the most common are hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability, anxiety, depression, headaches, loss of libido, weight gain and breast tenderness. Numerous studies over the past 40 years have helped establish the efficacy of black cohosh as a treatment for menopausal symptoms. A well-known 1982 study of over 600 women found 80% experienced relief from such symptoms as hot flashes, perspiration, irritability, heart palpitations and depression after taking 80 mg of black cohosh daily over six to eight weeks. Common emotional problems such as teariness and anxiety also responded favorably. A 1998 study by the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut concluded black cohosh was a safe alternative to estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) for women where ERT is contraindicated or declined. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has recommended the use of black cohosh for menopausal symptoms such as sleep disturbances, mood swings and hot flashes. Due to the possible estrogenic effects of black cohosh, women with a personal or family history of breast cancer may wish to avoid using black cohosh until research further delineates the effect on breast tissue.
Dong Quai has been used extensively in Chinese herbal medicine as a natural remedy for treating menstrual problems. Dong quai is believed to increase blood flow to the uterus and to have muscle relaxant properties. Chasteberry has also been used for many years to treat PMS. Also known as Vitex, recent studies indicate it may be useful in restoring a normal estrogen to progesterone balance easing PMS and its symptoms. Red Clover has been used for centuries to help relieve hot flashes while Sage is regarded as a natural way to ease night sweats. Licorice is commonly known as a food item but scientists have also identified estrogen- and progesterone-like qualities.
Mexican Yam has long been considered an herb to help with women’s issues. In 1936, it was discovered to contain diosginin, a chemical used to create synthetic progesterone and the hormone DHEA. It is sometimes recommended for hormone replacement therapy during menopause. False Unicorn helps treat menstrual pain and irregularities. Squaw Vine was used for many years by Native Americans for irregular menstruation. Blessed Thistle’s emmenagogue action (promotes menstrual discharge) aids in balancing of female hormones. Red Raspberry contains a number of beneficial components including flavonoids, tannin and the minerals magnesium, iron, manganese and calcium. It has been used for women’s health in regulating menstrual cycles as well as for gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular health and respiratory problems. Raspberries have been used for centuries by women to help during pregnancy.
