 For many women, the cessation of periods marks a very important and exciting transition. Free from the responsibilities of "the baby years" a woman is able to explore the myriad opportunities the world has to offer, and to find the inner peace that comes with knowing who she really is. Many women report that menopause gave them a strength and fortitude they never knew was inside. This newly-discovered confidence allowed them to embark upon new hobbies, businesses and other interests, while finding renewed joy in relationships with their spouse, children and grandchildren.
While menopause is undoubtedly an important time in a woman's life, for many women, these special years are marred by unpleasant symptoms caused by hormone imbalance. These include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia and a reduction in libido. Now menopause-related hormone imbalance can be safely and naturally treated, reducing or eliminating these troublesome symptoms.

During her reproductive years, a woman's hormones maintain the perfect balance required for fertility and nurturing a growing baby. Beginning in the late 30s, however, hormone levels begin to wane, throwing off the delicate balance between estrogen and progesterone. This phase of a woman's life is called perimenopause.
The hormonal imbalance usually worsens as menopause approaches, giving rise to a number of symptoms including hot flashes and night sweats, weight gain, depression, headaches, fatigue and reduced libido.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been traditionally prescribed for menopausal women to help reduce the unpleasant symptoms associated with hormone imbalance. Recently, studies have shown that HRT can have serious long-term consequences including increased risk of heart disease and breast cancer. Although medical HRT is usually effective for controlling menopausal symptoms, very few health-conscious women are willing to take on the newly-identified risks involved with this type of therapy.
Adaptogenic Phyto-Hormones
HRT supplies the body with synthetic hormones often derived from animal sources. This literally fools the body into behaving as if natural hormone changes had not occurred. In addition to the well- publicized long-term health risks, side effects of this "unnatural" approach include nausea, fluid retention, depression, anxiety and breakthrough bleeding. In contrast to HRT, the Inner Balance program promotes the balance of hormones within the body, since it is the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone that gives rise to the unpleasant symptoms of menopause.
The Inner Balance program provides the body with plant- derived substances known as phyto-hormones. These natural extracts do not artificially increase hormone levels, nor do they attempt to replace what nature has taken away. Rather, through the endocrine system, they send a signal to the body's hormone receptors to mimic the effect of hormones. This is known as an adaptogenic effect. The resulting state of hormone balance is widely believed by natural health specialists to be a healthier way for a woman to reduce or eliminate uncomfortable menopausal and premenopausal symptoms.
Although the severity of symptoms varies from one woman to another, close to 80 percent of menopausal women experience symptoms related to diminishing hormone levels and associated imbalance.
The Inner Balance program has been shown to;
- Help relieve hot flashes and night sweats
- Improve vaginal health
- Balance mood swings
- Encourage glowing, radiant skin
- Maintain healthy bone density
- Promote cardiovascular health
- Provide antioxidant protection
- Significantly reduce migraines
- Positively influence psychological and emotional well being

————— The Inner Balance Program —————
The Inner Balance program consists of two components:
Inner Strength Protykin capsules and Inner Peace Gel. This double-pronged oral/topical approach is highly effective and works naturally with the body to promote hormone balance.
Inner Peace Gel contains diosgenin—an extract derived from wild yams—which interacts with progesterone receptors to alleviate symptoms associated with lowered progesterone levels. Inner Peace Gel's superior water-based delivery system provides 2.4 mg of diosgenin per ml—almost twice the amount of conventional wild yam creams. The herbal extracts in Inner Peace nourish the female glandular system rather than exert a drug-like effect. The gel also helps reduce inflammation, relaxes the muscles, and appears to be useful in promoting bone health and controlling endometriosis.
Chaste Tree Berry contains valuable hormonal precursors that stimulate the release of Luteinizing Hormone(LH) and inhibit the release of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). These actions are believed to reduce menopausal symptoms. Chaste Tree Berry also helps maintain estrogen/progesterone balance.
Inner Strength Protykin capsules contain trans-resveratrol a powerful plant estrogen that has been clinically shown to bind with a woman's estrogen receptors to enhance estrogen-like activity within the body. The effect is similar to that achieved by medical HRT, minus the unpleasant side effects and increased health risks.
Naturally occurring in wine, grapes and other plant foods, the ingredients of Inner Strength Protykin have been shown to promote normal estrogen activity. While a handful of peanuts contains approximately 0.075 mg, and a glass of red wine close to 0.65 mg, Protykin" contains 1,000 times more trans-resveratrol than is found in a glass of red wine or other grape-derived product. This high concentration makes Protykin a highly effective nutritional supplement for reducing menopausal symptoms and promoting health of the heart and bones. Phytoestrogens have the added benefit of antioxidant activity, helping the body's cells stay youthful.
Inner Peace gel and Inner Strength Protykin® work synergistically to correct hormone imbalances and reduce the associated symptoms.
