ANTIAGING PRODUCTS - HORMONE SUPPLEMENTS
Estrogen refers to female hormones that control fertility
and impact many other body functions.
Estrogen is known to:
- reduce heart diseases
- controls LDL cholesterol
- maintain bone density
- control body composition
- protecting against Alzheimer
- stimulate Growth Hormone [GH]
- control mood swings
- impact mental cognitive functioning
Synthetic Estrogens are often found in our food. Animals
in industrialized countries, especially the U.S., are
routinely fed synthetic estrogens and eat grain and grasses
that are laden with pesticides. These synthetic compounds
are concentrated in the fat of the meat and dairy products
sold commercially.
Xenoestrogens are also found in our everyday environment.
These substances have a estrogen-like effect on the
body, andcan be found in such items as soaps, perfumes,
medicine, and plastics.
Estrogen Replacement Therapy
Estrogen replacement therapy, available by prescription,
can counteract the natural loss of the support of the
above functions, but can also increase other health
risk factors for certain women.
Studies show that Estrogen supplements may contribute
to increased risk of blood clots, uterine cancer, and
possibly breast cancer.
Must debate surrounds the use of estrogen HRT. Whilst
the addition to progesterone has helped to offset fairs
of cervical and uterine cancer, progesterone increases
the risk of breast cancer in some women. In addition,
synthetic estrogens are toxic to the liver.
For many women the decision to use postmenopausal hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) was further shaken following
the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) released findings
that estrogen replacement increased risks of myocardial
infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary
emboli, and deep vein thrombosis.
On the positive side, maintaining higher levels of
estrogen decreases the risk of colon cancer and bone
fractures.
HRT adds an extra toxic load on the liver, in an already
over-burdened toxic environment. For this reason, many
are seeking more natural ways of boosting hormone levels,
without liver damage. The answer to much of this debate
is using natural estrogen boosting botannicals. These
work naturally in the body without any toxic impact
on the liver
