Vitanica Menopause Support carries several products that claim to be pure botanical herbal menopause relief supplements. They make Women’s Phase II, Black Cohosh, Red Clover, Soy Choice, Phyto Estrogen Herbal, HRT Companion and Woman’s Passage. Women’s Phase II has been proven effective during a trial conducted by two naturopathic colleges. We have decided to focus on Women’s Phase II as this is their signature supplement.
Ingredients
Women’s Phase II uses the most common herbal ingredients to formulate their product:
- Dong quai root – is a plant that is used for cramps related to menstrual cycles, other premenstrual discomforts as well as menopause. Dong quai lacks any information on its effectiveness for these symptoms but is shown to be beneficial in preventing premature ejaculation in men.
- Licorice root – most commonly known for its flavoring in foods and drinks; it is commonly used to treat various digestive complaints, sore throats and osteoarthritis. It is believed to contain chemicals that may reduce swelling, inflammation and to help the body heal stomach ulcers.
- Burdock root – is used to increase urination, kill germs and reduce fever. It has been used to treat colds, cancers, gastrointestinal complaints as well as other infections. There have been reports of poisoning associated with burdock due to contamination from other root plant called belladonna. Burdock might help the body fight against bacterial infections.
- Motherwort leaf – is used to thin the blood and to slow rapid heartbeat. It is used to stimulate blood flow. It has been used for other heart related conditions and for flatulence.
- Wild Yam root – is commonly used as a hormone treatment alternative because it contains diosgenin which is commonly converted into steroidal estrogen in a lab. The body cannot convert diosgenin into estrogen.
The capsules are vegetarian friendly.
