Ingredient Benefits
Helps reduce hot flashes and night sweats
During menopause, estrogen production is reduced, thereby losing the ability to regulate body temperature and preserve bone mineral density.
Promotes mood balance
Hops have been used for thousands of years as a natural medicine to improve mood and relaxation. Hops interacts with serotonin and melatonin to create balance.
Improves sleep quality
The old story goes, that field workers who harvested hops crops fell asleep on the job more than other workers on different fields. More recently, researchers have looked at hops and trials do suggest that hops do have sedative properties.
Lifenol® is well studied and performs very effectively in small doses. It contains a highly estrogenic phytoestrogen called 8-prenylnaringenin (8PN) to help replace some missing estrogen.
In vitro, 8PN has been shown to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation by interfering with certain pathways mediated by the estrogen receptor. Also, 8PN has been shown to prevent angiogenesis in animal studies. A 2018 review describes the broad therapeutic role and cites both clinical and preclinical evidence for its use in post-menopausal women suffering from hot flashes, bone loss and breast cancer risk
