Menophyt, the natural solution

Menophyt from the Eliphe laboratory is a dietary supplement composed of cimicifuga and yam (for maintaining strong and healthy bones and in case of hot flashes, fatigue, irritability).

It is aimed exclusively at women, as the months go by, during two disturbing factors that often cause physical and psychological pain and discomfort: premenstrual syndrome and menopause.

Pre-menstrual syndrome

It concerns the period of about ten days before menstruation, i.e. it occupies one third of each month of a woman's life. It is most often characterized by bad mood or sadness, headaches, water retention, sore breasts, fatigue, decreased libido...

These signs are expressed with more or less intensity depending on the woman's general condition and the period of her life concerned, but over time, they end up creating damage: fat settling on the hips and thighs, therefore weight gain, and many others...

Menopause

It is preceded by a more or less long period when the signs are expressed discreetly, but which leaves the impression that something is wrong. Then everything accelerates: mood disturbance, old age, hot flashes, disturbed sleep, chronic fatigue, bone problems, thinning hair and facial hair, vaginal dryness... all these discomforts and disturbances can last from a few months to a few years.

The hormonal mechanism

The hormonal mechanism that causes menstruation is simple. Estrogen, the hormone of fertility and femininity, is secreted by the ovaries in the first week of the cycle. They maintain the sexual characteristics of women and regulate ovulation. Twelve days later, progesterone is secreted during the second part of the menstrual cycle and is used to regulate ovulation.

The two hormones, estrogen and progesterone, work in symbiosis.

Effects of Estrogen :

  • They allow the influx of water and sodium but can, by excess, cause hypertension and water retention.

  • They cause cellular hypoxia

  • They oppose the action of the thyroid...

  • They promote the release of histamines

  • They promote blood clotting

  • They thicken the bile

  • They cause copper retention and zinc loss.

 

If they're not thwarted by progesterone:

  • They decrease the libido

  • They promote other health problems 

 

Effects of progesterone:

  • It maintains the phase of endometrial secretion...

  • It helps with the use of fat

  • It facilitates the action of the thyroid hormone.

  • It normalizes blood clotting

  • It restores the libido

  • It normalizes blood sugar

  • It normalizes copper and zinc

  • It ensures a good cellular oxygenation

  • It stimulates the osteoblasts that control ossification...

  • It's necessary for the survival of the embryo.

  • It is a forerunner of production in the adrenals.

 

For decades now, medicine has been saying that estrogen can reduce menstrual and menopausal symptoms. However, studies show that bone loss, for example, does not occur in women who lack estrogen but in those who lack progesterone. To be effective, oestrogen must be compensated for by natural progesterone from vegetables and plants in the diet. However, the modern diet has become much poorer and no longer provides women who need it with sufficient amounts of natural progesterone.

Less effective hormones

The inconveniences of menstruation, as well as those of menopause, are not inevitable.

Ever since medicine became interested in premenstrual syndrome and menopause, women have been offered industrial hormones. They are synthetic and do not have the properties of natural food hormones. They are not as effective and may even have disadvantages.

Formula based on Wild Yam and Cimicifuga

The composition of Menophyt ensures a beneficial and effective contribution, during problems related to premenstrual syndrome and menopause.

 

The two main components of this supplement are :

- YAM, a tuberous climber cultivated in many tropical regions.

- CIMICIFUGA, a tree native to Canada.

(Beware, the cimicifuga (cohosh) is not a tree but a perennial plant that is no more than one metre high).

The roots of these two plants, containing respectively glucosides and diosgenins, are universally recognized for their virtues which make it possible to limit or remove the inconveniences related to the menstrual cycle and the menopause, and their regulating action (for the maintenance of the strength and the health of the bones and in the event of hot flushes, tiredness, irritability).
