Restore Balance with Phytoestrogens
Natural Health Steps
Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and some fruit and vegetables we consume. These phytoestrogens come in various forms and are similar in shape to the major female hormone oestradiol. If it helps, you can think of these phytoestrogens as skeleton keys that can go around in your body and “open the same doors” that your body’s oestrogen would. In so doing, they can maintain oestrogenic activity which is particularly helpful for women who are in their peri menopause years and beyond. However, these phytoestrogens are not steroidal and cannot bring back periods.
Mung beans have a very long history of safe consumption, often as a daily food in certain countries and it for this reason that they were selected as a source of the phytoestrogens in NHSteps Menopause.
Phytoestrogen Benefits
Perimenopause is a reproductive stage in a woman’s life usually starting in her late 40s. During this time, her body stops making as many female hormones. One of these hormones is estrogen. This transitions into a time when her periods have stopped for at least 12 months, and she is now in menopause.
Perimenopause can bring on many uncomfortable symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido, and these may continue after menopause.
One study showed phytoestrogens greatly reducing hot flashes. Numerous other studies are finding positive effects for hot flashes and other perimenopausal symptoms, and more research is being conducted for this use of phytoestrogens.
Studies show that phytoestrogens could help prevent bone loss in aging women. Natural estrogen is known to help maintain normal bone density. When women age, estrogen levels drop, making them more vulnerable to osteoporosis.
Because phytoestrogens act much like estrogen, taking them may stop this from happening. Still, more research is needed before a doctor would advise this use.
Some women use phytoestrogens as natural or herbal remedies for relieving menstrual issues or irregularities. Estrogen levels can drop during certain times of the menstrual cycle, causing uncomfortable symptoms.
If estrogen can be replaced (such as with phytoestrogens or through a pill), these symptoms may be relieved. More research is needed about how to do this safely.
Treating acne with phytoestrogens may also be possible. The idea is that estrogen counters androgens (male hormones), which can contribute to acne in women. Because phytoestrogens act similarly to estrogen, they may counter androgens and relieve or prevent acne as a result.
