Natural Estrogen with Pomegranate Extract 60 caplets

Natural Estrogen with Pomegranate Extract is one answer to the concerns of maintaining healthy hormone function. A review of the published literature reveals some interesting findings about how plant-derived estrogens can provide safe and effective support for such menopausal complaints as hot flashes.

Derived from organically grown fruit, the pomegranate extract in this formula has the same ratio of polyphenols as you’d find in the whole fruit and all the benefits you’d get from the juice without the sugar, calories, and additives. Punicalagins, the main polyphenol responsible for pomegranate’s health properties, have been shown to be a powerful antioxidant. In fact, the health effects from the juice and the seeds work synergistically, providing an array of health benefits.

Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc.) are a rich source of glucosinolates and their hydrolysis products, including indoles and isothiocyanates. Scientists have identified specific extracts from cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.) that modulate hormones in a way that helps maintain healthy cell division. For instance, animal studies have shown that the cruciferous vegetable extract indole-3-carbinol (I3C) modulates estrogen hormones by favorably changing the ratio of protective 2-hydroxyestrone versus the damaging 16-hydroxyestrone. 2-Hydroxyestrone has demonstrated anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activity. I3C also induces phase I and II detoxifying enzymes that can help neutralize estrogen metabolites and xenobiotic estrogen-like environmental chemicals. Human studies support the beneficial role of I3C and di-indolyl-methane (DIM), a compound converted by the body from I3C, in positively altering estrogen metabolism. I3C and DIM have been shown to affect the proliferation of cells containing DNA damage and induce DNA repair proteins.

The glucosinolates are major constituents of cruciferous vegetables that have been shown to promote normal apoptosis and induce the expression of the beneficial p53 gene via an estrogen-independent action.

HMRlignan™ contains lignans, plant polyphenols which may possess antioxidant, fluid balancing, and immunomodulatory activities. A naturally occurring plant lignan, 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR), HMRlignan™’s major component, is a precursor to the mammalian lignan enterolactone, a human lignan found throughout the body that acts to protect the body from excess estrogen and its unwanted effects. Enterolactone may also limit excess cell growth in specific tissues and metastasis, and has also been linked to beneficial effects in aging women.
