Supplegen Magazine : Cohplex™ Simply Natural Menopause Relief

Menopause can be a time of great emotional and physical change that can feel very overwhelming. The average age of menopause for women in the UK is 51 but it can occur much earlier or later than this. Menopause occurs when the body starts to produce less oestrogen and the resulting low and changing hormone levels are thought to be the cause of the many diverse symptoms experienced by women at this time, such as hot flushes, night sweats, migraine headaches, insomnia, mood swings, irritability, anxiety and difficulty concentrating.

Menopause is not an illness but a natural event in every woman's life . An holistic approach to tackling the symptoms of menopause with an emphasis on lifestyle and dietary factors can be very rewarding with emphasis on lifestyle and dietary factors. For example, symptoms of anxiety and irritability may be a result of a lack of sleep and attempts to improve sleep quality may have other far-reaching effects. After all, we all need a good night's sleep to maintain optimum health and a positive mood. Self-help strategies for coping with menopausal symptoms include wearing layers of natural fibres (which can be easily taken off during hot flushes), avoiding hot drinks and keeping spicy food to a minimum, eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise and having a good support network of people around you who understand what you are going through. There are also many natural remedies available that can ease severe and distressing symptoms.

Supplegen's Cohplex ™ contains black cohosh, also known as Cimicifuga racemosa which has a long history of use in gynaecological problems and is a popular alternative to synthetic hormonal replacement therapy, especially in the United States. Many women believe that black cohosh has helped them to overcome the debilitating symptoms experienced during the menopause by helping their bodies to cope with the complex hormonal changes encountered at this time. And these beliefs are backed up with evidence from many clinical trials over more than 40 years. In a recent clinical study, the majority of women taking black cohosh saw reductions in their menopausal symptoms of up to 70% after 12 weeks; a 25% greater response than that seen amongst patients taking placebo.
