A combination of calcium and phosphorous from dicalcium phosphate to support optimum bone health.
Omega VI fatty acid concentrates (GLA) derived from evening primrose, black currant seed, borage seed and safflower
seed oils. Omega VI fatty acids play a key role in prostaglandin synthesis.
Prostaglandins are powerful biochemicals that work at the cellular level and
control virtually every aspect of human health. In fact, prostaglandins
control inflammation, skin cell production and maintenance, water balance
within the body, waste elimination, and even immune function.
Black Cohosh for its ability to relax the uterus and normalize the female reproductive system.
Licorice root standardized extract is rich in many different chemicals that have a number of effects on female
health. Among these, the triterpenes are metabolized in the body into
molecules that resemble the adrenal-cortical hormones. These hormones play a
significant role in controlling the inflammatory response. Research has
also determined that licorice intake causes an increase in interleukin
production. Interleukin increases the activity of antibodies, one of the
body’s primary immune defenses.
Cramp bark is known for its ability to aid in the relaxation of the uterus.
Soybean and kudzu root extracts are high
in compounds known as isoflavones that are recognized for their normalizing
effects on hormonal status.
Chaste berry is recognized for its
ability to normalize a woman’s hormonal balance, for its ability to help the
female body adjust to the changes associated with menopause or to rebalance
hormonal levels following cessation of birth control pills.
Boswellia gum is another exciting
addition to FemRx™. Used in India for thousands of years, it is only in
the last 25 years or so that the active constituents of this herb have been
identified and extracted. This compound, boswellic acid, a pentacyclic
triterpenoid has strong effects on both antibody production and
cell-mediated immunity. What this means is that boswellia influences the
communication system of the white blood cell army, resulting in a reduction
in the inflammatory response. This type of response is common to
inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or injuries.
Dong Quai is one of the most popular
herbs in the orient where it has been used for centuries as a tonic. Modern
herbalists use it to normalize hormonal levels during menopause and after
cessation of birth control pill use. Research has also found it to be useful
to nutritionally support from anemia.
Pregnenolone is a hormone that governs a
tremendous number of basic physiological functions. Researchers have found
that pregnenolone levels have a tendency to decline as people age. Both
research and anecdotal evidence support the fact that the body actually
experiences substantial improvements to memory, visual acuity and a number of
other indices of biological aging.
