What is Remifemin?
Remifemin is an extract of the rootstock of the herb Cimicifuga Racemosa (Black Cohosh) used by millions of women worldwide for effective relief from menopausal symptoms.
Remifemin (A special extract of Black Cohosh) is the most widely used and thoroughly studied natural alternative to menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT.) It is excellent for those who do not want HRT but who suffer menopausal symptoms. It is also useful for those who cannot be placed on HRT because of: breast, uterine or ovarian cancer, unexplained uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breast disease, endometriosis, liver and gallbladder disease.
Remifemin is a simple and completely natural way to treat menopausal symptoms. It is as effective as estrogen treatment, yet displays none of its negative side effects.
For years now, pre-menopausal and menopausal women have been treated with estrogen in Hormone Replenishment Therapy (HRT). When the natural level of estrogen produced by the ovaries diminishes permanently, there is an overcompensating production of LH, giving rise to the characteristic menopausal symptoms. Estrogen substitution in HRT works by lowering the LH level. However, the substitution also affects the levels of FSH and the hormone, prolactin, adversely. The possible side effects of long term use of estrogen include intermenstrual bleeding, weight increase and a higher risk of cancer.
Years of research, clinical studies and tests have shown that Remifemin displays estrogen-like effects; lowering the level of LH and restoring hormonal equilibrium BUT without affecting the level of FSH and prolactin, thus eliminating any risk of dangerous side effects. Remifemin is a completely natural, completely safe way of relieving the symptoms of menopause and improving the quality of life for all women going through this hormonal change.
Remifemin is not made from synthetic substances.
It contains a specially prepared extract of the rootstock of Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa). Each tablet is standardized to provide the right amount of key nutritional support that women need during menopause. Standardization means you get optimal natural benefits every time you take Remifemin®, so you can use it with complete confidence.
Remifemin is supported by 40 years of extensive scientific research. In fact studies have shown that most women notice remarkable natural relief within four to eight weeks of use, with a recommended dose of 2 tablets per day. The results of treatment improve further on prolonged administration. As a good healthcare practice women are advised to see the doctor every 6 months.
