fx menopause - 60 capsules

fx menopause can provide menopause symptom control as effectively as conventional HRT / ERT without the associated health risks. More than 70% of women see a significant improvement in how they feel and a very noticeable reduction in hot flushes within the first 30 days of use.  Please see  How quickly will it work 

  Recommended: A minimum of 4 weeks usage at the correct intake level for your stage of the menopause. Please refer to the suggested usage details below.

  Why use fx menopause?

• A UK consumer study confirmed that 94% of women experience improved wellbeing, 93% enjoy increased energy/reduced fatigue, emotional wellbeing is improved for 86% of users and 83% note very welcome sleep improvement. This study, kindly supported by the Chronicle Group of Newspapers (UK), demonstrated that 9 out of 10 women found that it worked for them.
• When included in your diet, it works quickly, often within two weeks.
• fx menopause can be routinely consumed for as long as desired.
• It is simply a food supplement, sourced from foods which have been safely consumed for many generations.
• Human trials have identified anti-oxidative and anti-ageing effects, together with dramatic visible collagen improvement, increased energy levels, enhanced libido and a feeling of well-being.

  'Quality of Life' Consumer Study Results.

By simply including fx menopause in their diet for 4 weeks:

• 94% noted increased menopause wellbeing
• 93% noted increased energy / reduced fatigue during the study period.
• 86% noted improved emotional wellbeing during the study period.
• 83% noted improved sleep during the study period.
• 72% noted increased social functioning, 79% noted decreased general bodily aches & pain, 64% perceived an improvement in general health and 57% noted a reduction in role limitation due to emotional problems.

The summary results displayed here comprise data gathered via 3 measuring scales, a RAND36 questionnaire, a Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) questionnaire and a Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale questionnaire. The total range of questions allowed a measure of verification between measuring methods. In total participants answered 70 questions. Given the short term of the study ( to 4 weeks) and the role of fx menopause, benefits in the physical functioning and role limitation due to physical functioning sections of the RAND36, were not considered significant and additionally, results under 14% were not considered significant.

  Product Information

  Suggested Use: Suitable for healthy women who are looking for well-being in their menopause years and beyond. We advise that fx menopause is not consumed by women using traditional hormone therapies (including contraceptives). If this is the case, a ‘wash out’ period of 2 to 3 weeks is recommended, as residue from the HRT can negate the early benefits of adding fx menopause to your diet. Equally with menopausal supplements (Soy, red clover, black cohosh, dong quai, etc.) we recommend a 1 week’s wash out.  If a woman is taking any other medication, they should always consult their GP about supplements – we have a GP information pack available on request. Caffeine, alcohol and some over the counter medications may reduce the effectiveness of fx menopause. If you have any digestive sensitivity (intolerance of beans e.g. Baked Beans and Lentils) please contact Customer Support for further advice.

  Note: fx menopause is formulated to augment phytoestrogens in healthy adult women. It is not recommended if pregnant, taking contraceptives or HRT, undergoing fertility treatments or with low blood pressure, oestrogen or over-active thyroid related disorders or using blood thinners / anticoagulants, e.g. warfarin.

Women on medication / with any existing medical condition - please contact Customer Support to discuss whether to seek the advice of a Health Care Professional prior to use. To help you decide on suitability, Nutrition FX would be happy to send a full information pack to your Health Care Professional.

  Note: A very small number of women may experience some bloating/flatulence when first taking this product. This is caused by intestinal bacteria reacting to the presence of certain types of carbohydrates, (oligosaccharides) such as those commonly found in beans. This reaction has only been noted in a few Western women who do not normally consume these particular carbohydrates in their diet. Of these women, most find that their body is able to adapt to the presence of these carbohydrates by introducing the product gradually to their diet – please call our Customer Support line for guidance.
