Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) does what the name says—it replaces hormones. Your body produces its own hormones, and during menopause, the level of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone naturally begins to drop. Changing hormone levels affect your natural hormonal balance, producing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, and others.

The March 2007 position statement of the North American Menopause Society supports previous research, which indicates that HRT can relieve menopausal symptoms but carries with it significantly increased risks for breast cancer, strokes, heart disease, dementia and blood clots. For many women, the risks outweigh any benefits they might experience. This data has left women with few safe options to alleviate their symptoms.

Femmerol—A First Step

A balanced herbal menopause supplement like Femmerol® is a first step and healthy choice for women seeking relief from menopause symptoms. The herbs used in Femmerol have never been implicated in cancers, heart attack, stroke, or blood clots. You can try Femmerol first, as a positive first step to relieving menopause symptoms before taking on the risks associated with HRT.
