Ymea Capsules 60

Ymea Capsules 60:While some women choose to supplement their declining estrogen levels with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), others have discovered the benefits of phytoestrogens, natural plant estrogens. Weaker than human estrogens, phytoestrogens balance a woman’s hormone level. Like human estrogens, phytoestrogens attach themselves to the body’s estrogen receptors. If a woman’s estrogen level is low, phytoestrogens increase the body’s estrogen level To alleviate their menopausal symptoms, many women have incorporated soy and flaxseed into their diets. Phytoestrogens are also referred to as isoflavones. Asian communities consume on average 20-50mg isoflavones each day compared to a western diet which provides only 2-5mg of isoflavones a day. Ymea contains 86mg of soya extract per capsule, 20% of which are isoflavones, equating to 17.2mg of isoflavones in each Ymea capsule. Epidemiological studies surmise that Asian women’s lack of menopausal symptoms is not due to genetics but, rather, to diet: studies show that Japanese women who move to the United States and assimilate to American culture and diet experience greater frequency of menopausal symptoms Ymea combines extracts of three plants well-known for their individual properties to give a unique formula rich in natural isoflavones and plant extracts. Soya Extract It is the fall in levels of oestrogen and progesterone that gives rise to the symptoms of the menopause. Soya contains high quantities of isoflavones, also known as phytoestrogens. Hops (Humulus Lupulus) Hops is a plant of European origin and has an oestrogenic action similar to soya, as it contains a natural phyto-oestrogen called 8-prenylnaringenine. Bitter Melon extract Bitter Melon, which is included in the Ymea formulation, is an extract containing natural antioxidants. Antioxidants can help protect the body from the damaging effects of excess free radicals caused by pollution, UV light or by general metabolic processes. Antioxidants neutralise these excess free radicals, helping to maintain cell integrity, which in turn may help reduce the visible signs of ageing.
