Menopausal Symptom Relief

Breast health

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is 1 in 7. As such, many women wish to add a natural alternative to other preventative measures such as exercise and diet.

Bone Health

Hormone deficiency is a risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. As phytoestrogens, lignans possess both weak estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities and may be a natural alternative for women in preserving bone health.
