Menopause is a period of time when a woman's hormone levels begin to change and menstrual cycles become irregular, signaling an end to her reproductive years. Once a woman has not had a menstrual cycle for 12 consecutive months, she is considered postmenopausal.

Perimenopause (or Pre-Menopause), Menopause, and Post-Menopause.

Perimenopause is the transitional phase into menopause and it can begin 8-10 years before menopause occurs. The ovaries begin producing less estrogen during this time. In the last two years of perimenopause, estrogen production drops rapidly and women can begin to experience menopause symptoms.

Menopause is the point at which ovaries stop producing eggs and menstruation ceases. This diagnosis is received after 12 consecutive months without a period.

Postmenopause is the period of time after a woman has gone 12 months without a period. Menopause symptoms can and often do continue throughout this time and can continue for as long as 14 years.

On average, menopause occurs at age 51 but symptoms can begin as early as age 40.

When a woman's ovaries no longer have eggs to produce, estrogen and progesterone levels begin to decline. Without ovulation, there also ceases to be menstruation. These changes can lead to a cascade of uncomfortable symptoms and side effects such as changes in menstruation, hot flashes, issues with bladder control, difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness and uncomfortable intercourse, a decrease in libido, mood changes such as anxiety, depression, or mood swings, a decrease in bone density, loss of muscle mass, increase risk of cardiovascular disease, and an increase in facial hair and thinning of hair on the scalp.

The microbiome is an ecosystem of bacteria living in and on your body. The 100 trillion bacteria that make up the gut microbiome are essential to human health and immunity.

Optimum gut microbiota diversity is a new and important clinical target for health promotion and disease prevention. Probiotics may potentially help. It is also important to remember that fiber is the “food” for your probiotic bacteria. Consuming a diversity of different fiber-rich foods is critical to create and maintain a healthy microbiome" Source link: https://internationalprobiotics.org/diversity-matters-in-microbiota/

Menopause appears to be linked to reduced diversity of good bacteria in the gut microbiome, which is associated with a reduction of circulating estrogen. Combine that with less estrogen being produced by the reproductive system, the issue is compounded.The gut microbiome is one of the chief regulators of circulating estrogen.Certain species of bacteria are known to secrete a specific enzyme called β-glucuronidase which converts estrogens into their active forms. This helps a Menopausal woman’s body utilize the estrogen that is already present without having to supplement with artificial hormones.

Menopause Health capsules combine plant-based omega oil, resveratrol, and precision probiotic strains clinically proven to support healthy estrogen metabolism, hormonal balance, and microbiome diversity.*

In a clinical trial, Nouri Menopause Health Probiotic was shown to increase circulating levels of estrogen, in comparison to the placebo. Further, it was shown to offer support in the areas of hormone regulation, healthy hormone balance and wellness, supports pre- and post-menopausal hormone balance, supports healthy estrogen metabolism, supports against symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, and helps increase estrogen levels overall.

Resveratrol is a phytoestrogen present in a variety of foods such as grapes, berries and nuts. A 14-week supplementation with a low dose of resveratrol has been shown to improve cerebrovascular (blood flow in the brain) and cognitive functions. Cognitive decline can be a side effect of Menopause and we included Resveratrol in this probiotic to assist with relieving that symptom.

Nouri Menopause Health begins working immediately by increasing the diversity of good bacteria in your gut and noticeable symptom improvement typically occurs between weeks 8-12 of taking the probiotic consistently.
