WOMEN’S TRANSITIONS FORMULA

Estera® Phase II Women’s Transitions Formula Positioning Statement

Estera® Phase II is formulated to meet the needs of women during the transitional stage known as perimenopause. This targeted supplement contains a blend of phytoestrogens, enzyme inducers, and other herbs for relief of perimenopausal symptoms. Phytoestrogens are plant based compounds that should be incorporated into a woman’s diet as early in her life as possible for benefits throughout life. Estera Phase II also contains flaxseed lignans and indoles to help promote a healthy ratio of estrogen metabolites. Black cohosh works with other Estera® ingredients to help relieve symptoms associated with perimenopause.

The Concept of Estera® Phase I

Normal Hormone Fluctuations. During perimenopause, it is essential for women to understand the impact of normal hormone fluctuations on their quality of life. As estrogen and progesterone begin to decline in perimenopause, hormones begin to fluctuate dramatically. Estrogen levels will ultimately drop 40 to 60 percent, while progesterone can decline even more dramatically. It is clear that nutrition and exercise can significantly affect quality of life during perimenopause; poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle parallel a tremendous increase in symptoms during this phase of life.

Hormone Metabolites. The liver is responsible for safely metabolizing and excreting chemicals from your body. The normal metabolism of hormones in your body results in a unique ratio of two different metabolites: 2-hydroxyestrone and 16-alphahydroxyestrone. The ratio of these metabolites, which is determined by the liver, is unique to every woman. It is important to incorporate diet and lifestyle choices that help the liver increase the ratio of healthy metabolites such as 2-hydroxyestrone and decrease the ratio of undesirable metabolites such as 16-alphahydroxyestrone. By incorporating healthy choices at an early age, a woman will receive health benefits throughout her life.

Perimenopausal Symptoms. Occasional bleeding through the menstrual cycle, joint discomfort, hot flashes, a temporary and minor decrease in the ability to concentrate or recall informa- tion, changes in sexual desire, sweating, frequent urination, recurrent waking at night, vaginal dryness, night sweats, occa- sional anxiousness, and mild mood swings are just a few of the symptoms generally associated with the perimenopausal years. While some may only experience minor symptoms or none at all, some women suffer from one or multiple symptoms that can last from eight to ten years*.

Additional Information about Estera® Phase 1

• Menopausal transition is commonly referred to as perimenopause.
• During perimenopause, menstruation may become less regular and menopausal symptoms begin to appear.
• Perimenopause usually begins about two to four years before the last menstrual period and lasts for about one year after the last period.

What is Perimenopause?

The two to four-year period prior to the complete cessation of menses. During perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone levels become sporadic, resulting in irregular periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and other symptoms.

Why does this product contain soy isoflavones?

Soybeans naturally contain isoflavones, which are potent phytoestrogens. The two predominant isoflavones in soybeans are genistein and daidzein. Genistein is the most well-researched phytoestrogen available on the market, with a number of clinical studies substantiating its health benefits in women.

How To Use Estera® Phase II

As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule with eight (8) ounces of liquid daily. Store in a cool, dry place.
