Symptoms of menopause are usually due to alterations in hormone levels, particularly the decline in oestrogen levels.
PhytoLife is a source of phytoestrogens, which are compounds that have an oestrogen-like action in the body. Some of the active compounds found in soya beans are the phytoestrogens known as isoflavones. The chemical structure of the isoflavones in soy is similar to the oestrogen found in the body.
In post-menopausal women the rate of bone loss is generally 1-2 per cent per year. Calcium has been included in Phytolife for strong, healthy bones.
