THORNE Meta-Balance™ (Hormonal Balance Support during Menopause) 60 vegetarian capsules

Meta-Balance is a botanical formula that helps manage unpleasant aspects of menopause without the side effects or long-term health issues associated with conventional hormone replacement therapy.

Because of the side effects and health issues associated with conventional hormone replacement therapy, many women desire a more natural approach to allaying the unpleasant aspects of menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleeplessness, night sweats, and poor memory. Meta-Balance helps manage the normal ebbing of hormones that is associated with menopause. Wild yam, black cohosh, Vitex, and dong quai all help mitigate the natural decrease in female hormone production. Black cohosh and dong quai have potential estrogenic properties. Vitex appears to have a stimulating effect on the ovaries. Wild yam provides natural progesterone-like substances. Hesperidin methyl chalcone is known for its antioxidant properties, its ability to strengthen capillaries, and its ability stabilize the vasomotor activity associated with hot flashes.

Lifestyle changes can also help alleviate some of the uncomfortable conditions associated with menopause. For example, increasing aerobic exercise can reduce hot flashes and improve sleep, while reducing the consumption of spicy foods and alcohol can also help reduce hot flashes. In addition, supplementing with various botanical extracts that are well-recognized for supporting female health during this time of a woman's life can be of great benefit.

Meta-Balance is designed to be taken in conjunction with the multi-vitamin/mineral Meta-Fem®.
