ESPROGEN™ is
a unique, all natural, formula designed to help support the
normal balance of female hormones. The ingredients in Esprogen™ have
been shown to help reduce symptoms related to PMS, irregular
menses, menstrual cramps, endometriosis, fibroids and symptoms
of Menopause.
Esprogen™ contains
plants with estrogenic and progesterogenic activity. Phytoestrogens,
or plant estrogen, have what is known as an "alterative" effect
on a woman's hormones. When estrogen levels are low, phytoestrogens
can exert a direct estrogenic effect. When estrogen is
high, phytoestrogens bind to estrogen receptors and reduce
the overall estrogenic activity. Plant progesterone precursors
enhance the body's ability to produce the appropriate balance
of progesterone that the body needs in ratio to the estrogen
content. Together, the herbal ingredients in Esprogen™ give
a woman the balance her hormones need. Click

Angelica
sinensis (Dong quai) is perhaps the best known phytoestrogen.
It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of menstrual
disorders, including irregular menses, premenstrual syndrome,
endometriosis, fibroids and menopausal hot flashes through
its alterative action on estrogen.
Essential
oils in Angelica have been shown to relax smooth muscles
of the uterus. Additionally, Angelica has been found to
possess pain relieving and mild tranquilizing action. In
one study, its pain relieving action was found to be greater
than that of aspirin. Its pain relieving and smooth muscle
relaxing actions support is historical use for uterine cramps
and headaches.

Cimicifuga
also known as Black
Cohosh has
been shown in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials
to have significant benefit in treating both the physical
and mental symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, juvenile menstrual
disorders and menopause.
In
addition to phytoestrogens found in Cimicifuga, other plant
constituents have been found to work via other mechanisms.
Recently, a study concluded that at least three different compounds,
including an estrogen-binding flavonoid, act synergistically
to suppress lutenizing hormone (LH), which is considered to
be an important initiating hormone for hot flashes in menopause.
Unlike synthetic estrogens Cimicifuga does not alter Follicle
Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels
or stimulate the growth of
tumor cells. In several clinical trials, Cimicifuga has been
shown to provide significant improvement in 86% of all patients
within 4 weeks of onset of therapy. Studies show that Cimicifuga
reduces menopausal symptoms of hot flashes, perspiration, headache,
vertigo, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, nervousness,
irritability, sleep disturbances, weariness, and depressive
moodiness, while increasing motivation and mood.

Glycyrrhiza
glabra also know as Licorice Root, is another phytoestrogen
that exerts a balancing effect on estrogen metabolism. The estrogenic
action of licorice is due to its isoflavone content. It appears
to be extremely beneficial in relieving the symptoms of premenstrual
syndrome (depression, craving sweets, weight gain, breast tenderness,
etc.) due to its ability to balance the estrogen to progesterone
ratio. Vital Formulations™ uses only DeGlycyrrhizinated Licorice
(DGL) in its formula to prevent potassium loss.

lines. |
