Hydroxytyrosol is a potent antioxidant that can protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It has been shown to have a range of potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activity.
Some studies suggest that molybdenum supplementation may promote the repair of damaged follicles and preserve ovarian function. Molybdenum is involved in various metabolic processes during pregnancy, including the metabolism of purines, aldehydes, and sulfur-containing amino acids.
Fenugreek is effective in reducing hot flashes and night sweats by regulating estrogen levels in the body. Fenugreek also contains plant compounds called saponins, that balance the menstrual cycle and reduce period pain. Fenugreek increases sexual function and increase libido by influencing the production of testosterone.
Soy isoflavones a have a variety of health benefits, including relief of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Multiple studies have found that soy isoflavone supplementation increased estrogen levels.
During menopause, women experience a decline in estrogen levels, which can lead to a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Studies have suggested that flaxseed may help reduce the severity of these symptoms by providing a natural source of estrogen-like compounds called lignans.
Iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are important for maintaining a healthy metabolism and supporting normal growth and development. Iodine is a key ingredient in reducing breast tenderness during PMS.
Cranberry is an antioxidant that has shown priomise in reducing inflammation and improving gut health. At HER-BIO we primarily use Cranberry to target UTI. This is due to the presence of compounds called proanthocyanidins (PACs) in cranberry, which have been shown to inhibit the attachment of certain types of bacteria to the urinary tract
Agnus Castus increases progesterone by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) and inhibiting follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin levels. It can also increase dopamine activity in the brain, which also results in a reduction of prolactin release. Studies have shown central dopaminergic activity in vitro and in vivo.
Lutein is most commonly known for its role in maintaining healthy vision, as it is found in high concentrations in the retina of the eye. It is believed to help filter out harmful blue light and protect the eye from oxidative stress, which can lead to age-related macular degeneration and other vision problems.
Lycopene helps to protect against certain types of cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancer. In addition, it aids in protection against UV radiation and reduces the risk of sunburn. Lycopene has anti-aging effects and helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
During pregnancy, choline is essential for the development of the brain and nervous system in the fetus. Adequate intake of choline during pregnancy may reduce risk of neural tube defects. Some studies have also suggested that choline plays a role in reducing the risk of breast cancer.
Accumulated evidence over the last 30 years suggests an important role in bone formation and bone and connective tissue health. Silicon has been suggested to exhibit roles in the structural integrity of nails, hair, and skin, overall collagen synthesis, bone mineralization, and bone health.
Manganese is involved in the synthesis of collagen. Collagen helps to provide strength for tissues, and is important for maintaining the elasticity and integrity of the skin. Manganese is also needed for the proper absorption and use of calcium, which is a key mineral for bone health.
Vitamin B6 may improve mood such as reducing anxiety, irritability, and depression. In addition, it can be used to aid in treating symptoms of PMS.
Zinc has also shown evidence in reducing period pain and helping with PMS symptoms according to multiple clinical trials. Zinc is essential in increasing absorption of calcium and thereby reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Vitamin B5 is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells, as well as sex and stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands, small glands that sit atop the kidneys. B5 helps produce essential stress-response hormones like cortisol while ensuring they are not overproduced
Increase in vitamin B 2 intake correlated with a small decrease in estradiol, which is crucial for regulating the menstrual cycle and reproductive health. Also, it plays a critical role in energy production by facilitating the metabolism of carbs, fats, and proteins. Important for women experiencing fatigue related to hormonal imbalances or conditions like PMS and menopause.
Levomefolic acid improves fertility in women with certain conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A randomized controlled trial published in the journal, Fertility and Sterility in 2010, found women with PCOS who took levomefolic acid had a higher rate of pregnancy.
Niacin is used in supplements to help with hormonal health in women because it plays a crucial role in hormone production, maintaining cellular antioxidant capacity, improving circulation, and suppressing inflammation.Â
Low levels of selenium have been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery. Furthermore, selenium is important for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.
Studies have suggested that chromium may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in women, particularly those who are overweight or obese.
Vitamin D is considered important in cell differentiation, proliferation, and immune function. It is an important factor in prevention/treatment of some forms of cancer, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, psoriasis, and psychiatric diseases. The role of vitamin D in pregnancy is also taking new dimensions.
Vitamin C helps support reproductive health, as it plays a role in the production of estrogen, a hormone important for fertility and menstrual cycle regulation. Vitamin C also helps to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
