Maintaining balanced Estrogen levels can reduce or eliminate unpleasant symptoms of aging as women approach and enter menopause. Estrogen is more than one hormone, consisting of estrone, estradiol, and estriol.

Estradiol is the strongest of the three estrogens and sends a signal to stimulate cell growth and deter the effects of aging. The effectiveness of hormone replacement involves more than just the right type and dose of estrogen. It’s also about delivering supplements in biorhythmic dosing schedules that restore the correct timing and peak values of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to create an optimal female hormone cycle.

Estrogen should never be taken without progesterone because progesterone blocks estrogen from promoting excessive cell growth. When a woman has estrogen in her system without sufficient progesterone to balance it, she becomes “estrogen dominant”, which can cause unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and insomnia. Perimenopausal women are frequently estrogen dominant, and progesterone is what will help alleviate their symptoms.

Although women only require a small amount of Testosterone, it is one of the first hormones to decline. Low sex drive is one of the most common complaints we hear from women with low testosterone as well as difficulty building and maintaining lean muscle mass.
