Suggested Use: 2 - 4  capsules 2 times daily

Combinations

• For Vaginal dryness add Mongolian Seabuckthorn Oil 

• Daniel Weber’s recommendation is to start with FEM+, slowly increasing dosage to the most severe stage and then introducing CHANGE at a low dose. At this point FEM+ begins to be reduced and CHANGE increases in dosage. Throughout the menopause include EVO Fusion in the protocol. See illustration below. 

Key Ingredients

Actaea cimicifuga - rhizome (contains: Triterpene Glycoside)

Triterpene Glycoside: One of the first studies involved 36 postmenopausal women treated with Remifemin (an alcoholic extract of black cohosh roots containing Triterpene Glycoside). Treatment for 12 weeks resulted in a decrease in menopausal symptoms, with no reported side effects. These results were supported by a similar study published the next year. This 12-week study of 50 postmenopausal women assessed symptoms utilizing the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI). Triterpene Glycoside treatment resulted in a significant improvement in both the POMS and CGI scales. The only side effect noted was mild gastrointestinal disturbances in four patients.

Angelica polymorpha

Oestrogenic activity of standardized extract of Angelica sinensis.

In this study the estrogenic activity of a commercial standardized extract of the roots of Angelica sinensis, used to relieve climacteric symptoms was evaluated using in vivo tests such as the degree of cornification of vaginal epithelium, uterotrophic assays and serum LH concentration in ovariectomized rats.

Furthermore, the effects on the oestrous cycle in rat were investigated. The results obtained have shown that the administration of a standardized ethanol extract in ovariectomized rats exhibited a stimulation of the uterine histoarchitecture, a significant cornification in the vaginal epithelium and a reduction of serum LH concentration showing the estrogenic nature of the extract. Furthermore, the administration of the extract in intact female rats provoked a significant modification of the vaginal smear in 67% of treated rats. The oestrous cycle thus modified was characterized by a prolonged oestrus stage with a temporary reduction of the regular cyclicity.

Panax ginseng

Study on the Changes of Rat Testis Androgen Receptor mRNA Expression and Plasma Testosterone after Cold Stress

Objective To study the effect of ginseng polysugar on the mRNA expression of testis tissue androgen receptor and plasma testosterone change after cold stress. Methods Rats were divided into control group, cold stress experiment group and cold stress ginseng polysugar group, testis tissue androgen receptor mRNA expression was determined by rat androgen receptor cDNA probe dot blotting. Testosterone was determined by radioimmunoassay kit(RIA kit). Results The content of testosterone (nmol/ L) was 10.93 ± 1.44 in control group, 6.06 ± 1.78 in cold stress experiment group, 8. 01 ± 1.38 in cold stress ginseng polysugar group. There was a significant synthesis difference between cold stress group and control group(P<0.05). Dot-blot: the mRNA expression of androgen receptor in cold stress group was weaker than that in control group, cold stress ginseng polysugar group was more than that in cold stress group. Conclusion Testosterone has identical change with androgen receptor mRNA expression, ginseng polysugar has up regulation action for androgen receptor mRNA expression, and promote testosterone.
