Minerals to keep bones strongBone health is particularly important for women during and after the menopause. Menopace® provides magnesium, zinc and vitamin D, to help maintain strong bones. These nutrients can help to facilitate bone mineralization, the uptake of calcium and may help maintain bone density. Menopace® is designed to be taken in conjunction with a calcium supplement such as Osteocare®.Nutrients for heart healthIt is thought that lower oestrogen levels may influence heart and cardiovascular health in older women. Menopace® includes antioxidants like selenium and vitamin E, to help support against the harmful effects of free radical damage. Optimal levels of vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid also help maintain healthy lower levels of a blood amino acid called homocysteine that is independently linked with heart health. Women are increasingly looking to maintain health naturally during the menopause. Menopace® is an effective formulation of 21 nutrients, which can be taken alongside or independently of HRT. In independent consumer tests up to 85% of women found it helpful in maintaining all round good health. Natural balanceThe secretion of ovarian hormones oestrogen and progesterone declines around the menopause, but menstrual cycles seldom cease abruptly and there is a period of transition in which considerable hormone fluctuations become readily apparent.The advanced Menopace® formula includes vitamin B complex, zinc and magnesium, three nutrients used by the body in the production of GLA (gamma linolenic acid), a precursor of the body"s own hormone like substances which help regulate changes in hormone balance.
