Menopause, Perimenopause, and Postmenopause Discomforts Support*

FACT: Results from a published menopausal discomfort study at America?s leading hospital documents that Revival can reduce hot flashes and night sweats naturally. Women experienced significant improvements in midlife quality of life with daily Revival Soy use (one serving per day). It's that simple and delicious!¹

Menopause is a natural stage of life all women experience as they age. And while it may be normal, it certainly doesn't feel normal. The hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and lack of energy can make menopause one of the most physically and emotionally miserable times in a woman's life. So, let's review what causes menopause, what you can expect, and how soy can help support a more comfortable midlife.

Health Support with Soy?

While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication or HRT, over twenty clinical trials show that soy can help you have a more enjoyable and healthy midlife by lessening hot flashes and other common discomforts of menopause.1-10 Soy consumption has been shown to significantly improve a woman's comfort and health during perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. A medical review in American Family Physician (the journal of the prestigious American Association of Family Physicians) found that soy can significantly improve the discomforts of menopause⁶. A recent Revival clinical trial also showed very positive benefits.⁷ Typical hot flash reduction was nearly 40% in just 12 weeks in a clinical study.

Scientists became very interested in soy's potential role for menopause health support after demographic studies revealed that only ~9% of women living in Asia¹¹, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during mid-life, in contrast to almost ~80 to 90% of Western women who experience menopausal discomforts.

Because soy can support menopausal health, and may also promote normal bone and cholesterol health, many doctors and healthcare providers now recommend soy as part of a healthy midlife strategy.

Suggested Usage: Enjoy 1 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival bar or shake per day with a good multivitamin. Use Revival's baked soy chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/late-night snacking, and to increase energy. Regular daily consumption is important for achieving all of soy's potential benefits.

What Causes Menopause?

Menopause occurs when declining levels of estrogen cause changes in your periods. During menopause, ovulation (egg production) stops, causing periods to become less frequent, and eventually stopping altogether. For many women, this process begins silently somewhere around age 40. Declining estrogen levels during menopause may lead to poor vaginal and uterine health. Estrogen also helps women maintain strong bones and good cholesterol levels.

What can I Expect?

Perimenopause - gradually declining hormone levels (mid-to-late 30's to mid 40's)

The transition to menopause is a time period known as perimenopause, a process that begins 8 to 10 years before menopause and marks the beginning of declining hormone production by the ovaries. In the final one to two years of perimenopause, the decrease in estrogen accelerates and many women begin to experience menopausal discomfort such as irregular menstrual periods, hot flashes, mood swings, and lack of energy.

Menopause - cessation of menstrual periods (late 40's to mid 50's)

At this stage, the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing most of their estrogen. It's during this time women can expect to experience the bulk of menopausal discomforts. Once a woman has gone 1 full year without a menstrual period, she has made it through menopause and at this point is considered postmenopausal.

Postmenopause - increased health risks (late 50's and beyond) These are the years following menopause. During this stage, menopausal discomforts, such as hot flashes, ease for most women.

SPEAK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT "HRT"

Speak to your own physician to determine if Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is right for you. HRT (estrogen combined with progestin) was the standard therapy for menopause until recently when the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that HRT has a host of potential side effects, including an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, endometrial (uterine) cancer, stroke, blood clots and gallbladder disease. Interestingly, it was noted that estrogen alone does not increase breast cancer risk (only when used in combination with progestins).

Suggested Usage: Enjoy 1 naturally-concentrated (6x) Revival bar or shake per day with a good multivitamin. Use Revival's baked soy chips, soy pasta, soy nuts, & soy "coffee" to boost protein intake, decrease between-meal/late-night snacking, and to increase energy.
