Set: Menopower* - including yam root, evening primrose oil, iron and B vitamins - 2 x 90 capsules - by Unimedica

Menopower capsules from Unimedica are a natural accompaniment for the transition to a more mature phase of life, helping to soothe the unpleasant side effects of menopause.

A daily dose of menopower capsules from Unimedica (2 capsules) covers 70 % of the recommended daily dose of iron. It also provides 100% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and folate (folic acid or vitamin B9), and 10,000% of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). The folate is in the active form, so it can be optimally absorbed and used by the body.

These vital substances support the immune system and blood formation, also reducing tiredness and symptoms of fatigue. They are also involved in cell division (iron, folate, B12) and support energy metabolism (iron, B6, B12) as well as further important bodily functions.

A selection of specific plant extracts complete the menopower capsules from Unimedica with their valuable ingredients:

Yam root

is native to the tropics. The plants form roots 2 metres long. Some of the 800 species of yam are used for food and herbal medicine. The taste is like potatoes or chestnuts. Yam root contains, together with other valuable ingredients, diosgenin, a precursor of the natural hormone progesterone. This hormone is made in ever smaller amounts by the female body as menopause progresses. This can trigger various menopausal complaints.

Evening primrose oil

contains the valuable omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid. Evening primrose, with its glowing yellow flowers, originally comes from North America and is now found widely in Europe.

Red clover

spreads well on meadows and fields. It contains various isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogen.

Hops

is a plant known since antiquity as a warming, calming herb that quickens the blood and acts as a diuretic. The roots and rootstock are washed, crushed and dried before use. The herbaceous plant grows up to 2 metres high and is a member of the honeysuckle family, mainly grown nowadays in Europe, Japan the US.

Chasteberry

is a tall bush from the Mediterranean and south-west Asia. Its red-black fruits are like peppercorns and were used in the Middle Ages by monks to replace pepper for flavouring – hence the German name "monk's pepper". Hippocrates knew of chasteberry as a medicinal herb. The dried fruits are still used in herbal medicine to soothe various female complaints.

All these plant ingredients are used in herbal medicine for female complaints, especially during menopause.
