Dietary Supplement The natural way to ease hot flashes, occasional sleeplessness, and mood swings*

THE CHALLENGE

Hormone fluctuations before and during menopause often orchestrate a “chain reaction” of effects on a woman’s body chemistry. A natural process, perimenopause is the transition period between a woman’s reproductive years and the cessation of ovarian function (menopause). This transition lasts anywhere from four to ten years. Common Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms • Moodiness • Sleep Disturbances • Hot flashes • Irritability • Menstrual Changes • Boating/Water Retention • Mild to Moderate Depression In a recent study † of perimenopausal and menopausal women, 73% reported hot flashes, 66% night sweats, 53% insomnia, and 50% mood changes. Additionally, these menopausal symptoms may continue beyond menopause into the postmenopausal years.
