During this time, changes in hormone levels may impact physiological changes such as mood swings, hot flashes and night sweats.Standardized soy isoflavones- Act as mild estrogens and may be helpful in providing support for the discomforts associated with menopause. Emerging research suggests that isoflavones also have the ability to help maintain bone density. The most recognizable isoflavones are genistein and daidzein.Isolase®
- A patented enzyme system. Laboratory studies indicate that Isolase® is able to significantly increase the availability of soy isoflavones.
Black cohosh - A popular herb studied in German clinical trials and frequently recommended for hot flashes.

Menopause
Menopause- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Menopause is the cessation of the monthly female menstrual cycle. Women who have not had a menstrual period for a year are considered postmenopausal.
Most commonly, menopause takes place when a woman is in her late forties or early fifties. Women who have gone through menopause are no longer fertile. Menopause is not a disease and cannot be prevented. Many hormonal changes occur during menopause. Postmenopausal women are at higher risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, presumably because of a decrease in the production of estrogen or other hormones.

Comments about GNC Women's Phyto-Estrogen Formula:
I have been experiencing the dreaded menopause hotflashes. Since I don't have health insurance and don't want to take hormones, I am dealing with my hotflashes my way. I am currently taking Natrol am/pm capsules plus Evening Primrose and I just found these that I have added to my mix. My hotflashes aren't 100% gone but at least they are 50-75% better. What a relieve. I highly recommend them.

Comments about GNC Women's Phyto-Estrogen Formula:
I started experiencing early menopause sympotoms and it was literally driving me insane....the constant hot sweats, insomonia, and bad mood swings. I spoke to my Dr and she suggested doing some research for something natural and easy on my body. I found this product and decided to try it. I began feeling better about a week into taking it! The night sweats and insomonia stopped completely, and my mood swings were no longer an issue. I highly recommend this product for any woman experiencing the same issues....It works!

After years on female hormone supplements and being concerned about all of their side effects, I gave this a try. I discontinued my hormones slowly after using Phyto-Estrogen for about a month.
