Jamieson Laboratories, Canada’s leading vitamin and advanced nutritional-supplement company, has a natural solution for helping women manage menopausal symptoms. Jamieson’s Biologics™ Menoflavon™ is a unique red clover extract that naturally regulates hormones to relieve common menopause symptoms like sleep disturbances, hot flashes and irritability.
A clinically-proven natural formula, Biologics Menoflavon™ is derived from a unique species of red clover found in the Austrian Alps. It provides high concentrations of four active isoflavones — plant-based, hormone-like compounds or phytoestrogens — that have a similar chemical structure to estrogen. Isoflavones help alleviate the symptoms of menopause and have been linked to a variety of health benefits including improved sleep patterns and lower cholesterol levels, all without the harmful side effects of (hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
“Menoflavon is the number-one selling natural menopause formula in Europe,” says Tracey Mazza, Brand Manager, Jamieson Laboratories. “By relieving many of the symptoms associated with menopause, it helps women maintain healthy, active lives.”
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted by the University of Vienna to test the efficacy of Biologics Menoflavon™ in treating menopausal symptoms. Sixty menopausal women, ages 48 to 60 , participated in a three-month study. Eighty-one per cent of participants taking Menoflavon™ experienced a significant reduction in symptoms, including hot flashes, nervousness, insomnia, dry skin and depression. Some 80 per cent of them stated they would recommend Menoflavon™ to other women for dealing with the symptoms of menopause.
The study is welcome news for 4.8 million Canadian women who are in the perimenopause or menopause stage in life and have chosen not to use conventional HRT. “This natural formula of red clover extract addresses many of the acute symptoms of menopause, without causing side effects,” said Penny Kendall-Reed, Naturopathic Doctor and Clinic Director at the Urban Wellness Clinic in Toronto. “Women can choose a natural supplement with proven results to help them carry on a healthy lifestyle.”
