Answer 2

For many years it has been known that in Japan and China there is a decreased rate of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, heart disease, breast cancer and prostate cancer. This has been traced to the use of soy in the diet. In these countries the intake of soy is 100 to 1000 times what it is in North America.

Research has now shown that it is the plant hormone or phytoestrogen in soy that is responsible for these beneficial effects. These phytoestrogens act like estrogen in some ways and not like estrogen in others. They act as adaptogens working to balance estrogen levels, raising them if they are too low and lowering them if they are too high. The most important group of phytoestrogens is the isoflavones.

Do not use products that state they are alcohol extracted since the alcohol process removes the isoflavones from the product.

Answer 3

Dong Quai and St. John's Wort.  

Answer 4

I recommend all natural Menopause Balance Complex.  Controls hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, and depression.  Contains phytoestrogens from flaxseed and soy isoflavones, dong quai, red clover, licorice, and black cohosh.
