Hot flushes are by far the most commonly reported symptom as the body’s thermoregulatory system becomes poorly controlled with blood vessel dilation in the skin. However, hormonal changes can also cause changes in mood such as anxiety or depression, as well as cognitive adjustments that present as poor concentration, memory and attention. While exercise and a healthier diet have been proven as integral strategies to ease these symptoms, many natural treatments can also help with the menopausal transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhytoestrogenic herbs such as \u003cem\u003eangelica sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eActaea racemosa \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003etrifolium pretense \u003c\/em\u003ehave demonstrated various reductions in hot flashes and menopausal symptoms, partly as a result of their ability to weakly bind estrogen receptors. \u003cem\u003eActea racemosa\u003c\/em\u003e also has phytoestrogenic activity but may act more centrally on the brain and positively affect serotonin, dopamine or opiods. Although mixed research exists for the effectiveness of phytoestrogenic herbs in treating hot flushes, positive trials tend to favour extracts with standardized active ingredients or higher potency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther herbs can be beneficial in easing menopausal symptoms because of mechanisms outside of estrogen. For example, \u003cem\u003eVitex agnus-castus,\u003c\/em\u003e commonly known as chastetree, acts more as a progesterogenic herb while \u003cem\u003eDiascorea villosa\u003c\/em\u003e is a well-known antispasmodic herb. \u003cem\u003eHypericum perforatum\u003c\/em\u003e is best known for its ability to regulate mood and improve symptoms of depression but it has also been demonstrated to reduce the severity of hot flushes in menopausal women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFem·Matrix by Cyto-Matrix combines a blend of these research-driven herbs to reduce symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes. Each herb is in a highly-extracted form and standardized to active ingredients to ensure potency and effectiveness. Fem·Matrix also includes the bioflavonoids quercetin and hesperidin to improve the integrity of blood vessels and reduce hot flashes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CYTO-MATRIX","offers":[{"title":"120 Vegetable Capsules","offer_id":53596331737399,"sku":"193109","price":51.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/1411\/4982\/files\/1710423460_CM-FemMatrix-120vcaps-RGB-193109-V2_352_420.png?v=1794401844","url":"https:\/\/goodhealthmartmilton.com\/products\/cyto-matrix-fem-matrix","provider":"Good Health Mart Milton","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
