Women's formula Pro 45+

Detailed information on the Women's Formula Pro

After the phase of life in which the female body is constantly accompanied by the female hormonal cycle, a phase begins around the age of 45 in which a new, more stable balance is established in the female hormonal system. For some women, the transition to this new phase of life can be accompanied by problems. Women's Formula Pro 45+ is a carefully formulated formula with ingredients that provide ideal support during the menopause. Herbs of the highest possible quality and purity and with the strongest possible scientific basis have been selected.

Maca

Maca is a tuber that occurs naturally in the high altitudes of the Andes in Peru. Peruvians traditionally use maca for its positive effects on physical and mental health. Maca is known as an "adaptogen". Adaptogens are herbs that help the body to cope with various physical and mental challenges, helping to maintain balance. What many people don't realise is that there are several types of maca, each with a different phytochemical composition and a different effectiveness. The different types of maca are distinguished by the colour of the tuber, which can be yellow, red or black, among others. Black maca is considered typical "men's maca" due to the particular proportions of the characteristic components of maca (such as glucosinolates and lignans). Yellow maca (with other glucosinolates), on the other hand, is regarded more as "women's maca". MacaHarmony® is a maca concentrate that consists of an effective combination of maca species and has been specially developed to support physical and mental balance in women. Natural Health International produces MacaHarmony® in a unique process. The unsprayed maca is treated gently so that the naturally present phytonutrients are preserved. A further manufacturing process ensures that MacaHarmony® is optimally absorbed as a dietary supplement.

Black cohosh

Black cohosh is the most commonly used herb for use during the menopause. Here it is very important that the quality is good and the standards are consistent. The mechanisms of action of black cohosh are not yet fully understood, but it does not contain phytoestrogens, as previously assumed. The black cohosh extract in Women's Formula Pro 45+ is standardised to contain 2.5 % triterpene glycosides, the active ingredients of the plant's rhizome.

Ashwagandha

Like maca, ashwagandha is an herb that has a potent adaptogenic effect. Women's Formula Pro contains a high dose of the well-known ashwagandha extract KSM-66® from the manufacturer Ixoreal. The development of this special extract was based on fourteen years of research. A specially developed extraction process (without toxic or environmentally harmful solvents) is used for KSM-66®. The result is a broad-spectrum extract that retains the natural properties of the original plant. Incidentally, Ixoreal deliberately chooses to use only unsprayed ashwagandha plants. In other words: KSM-66® not only offers the highest quality, but also represents the ashwagandha extract that has been most thoroughly researched worldwide (Bakhtiar Choudhary, Shetty A. and Deepak G. Langade 2015).

Maritime pine bark extract

Pycnogenol® is a patented and standardised extract from the bark (the outer part of the bark) of the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), a species of fir tree that grows on the south-western coast of France. Traditionally, fir trees are also known as pine trees. The extract is rich in various types of polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and organic acids (including ferulic acid, cinnamic acid and caffeic acid). The use of Pycnogenol® already has a long tradition. It has been used as a dietary supplement for around 40 years. Today it is one of the most researched nutrients in the world with more than 300 scientific publications. Pycnogenol® has a strong antioxidant effect.
