Not Surprisingly, a Combo of Helpful Natural Menopause Treatments is Helpful!

There are lots of natural remedies that help alleviate the symptoms of menopause. So, what happens when you put a few of the best known ones together?

In, perhaps, one of the least surprising studies you’ll see, it turns out that, when you take a combination of natural supplements that improve the symptoms of menopause, it improves the symptoms of menopause!

Individually, each of black cohosh, soy isoflavones and lignans like the ones found in flaxseeds have been proven to help women with menopause. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined what happens when you put them together. Importantly, but not surprisingly, they helped.

90 postmenopausal women were given either a placebo or the combination supplement for 90 days with symptoms being assessed on the Menopause Rating Index.

Significant improvement was seen in the supplement group compared to the placebo in every domain, including a 54.3% difference in physical symptoms, a 54.3% difference in psychological symptoms, a 37.3% difference in urogenital symptoms and a 48% difference in total score.

The supplement was safe, and none of the women had to stop taking it.
