Perimenopausal women report significant improvement in energy levels with use of EmpowHer.
Menopausal symptoms are largely caused by excess unopposed estrogen, which acts much like a stress hormone, causing physical and mental fatigue.
Maca, Rhodiola and Horny goat weed oppose estrogen, support progesterone. All these adaptogens, along with Siberian ginseng are well known for their anti-fatigue, energy enhancement action.
In peri and postmenopausal women Maca was shown to improve mood, lower blood pressure, lower cortisol (which is implicated in fatigue), and increase energy.[i, ii, iii] Rhodiola is known for improving physical and mental energy and wellbeing[iv]. There is a published case study, which outlines a 55-year-old woman that experienced improvement in energy levels and depression using Rhodiola.[v]
Eleutherococcus (Siberian ginseng) has been traditionally used to alleviate fatigue.[vi]
Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) has shown benefits related to increased bone density, anticoagulation and blood pressure support (which are indicative of antiestrogenic and proprogestogenic activity)[vii, viii].
Iodine and selenium support the thyroid (all of which are required for increase in energy levels and decrease in estrogenic activity), and the other micronutrients offer further support for energy metabolism.
