Pycnogenol on the Climacteric Syndrome in Peri-Menopausal Women

[Guest guest]

Dear Reader, You might be suffering from climacteric syndrome and not even know it – probably because you call it something else. Here are some of the symptoms that characterize this syndrome:

Irritability Depression and anxiety High cholesterol Chronic headaches Hot flashes

That last item gave it away. Symptoms of menopause are the symptoms that comprise climacteric syndrome. But typically, these symptoms begin gradually, ushering in perimenopause, the transitional stage that precedes menopause. Call this time of life what you like – perimenopause, menopause, the climacteric – it all adds up to the same thing: You need relief and you want it to be safe and free of synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Maybe a little pine bark extract can help. ---------------------------- Steady improvement ---------------------------- Pycnogenol has been featured in several e-Alerts over the years – primarily for its ability to help manage cholesterol levels. This extract, taken from the inner bark of pine trees that grow in a French maritime forest, has also been shown to reduce menstrual pain and calm hyperactivity, so a team of researchers at Ham-Min Hospital in Taiwan designed a study to investigate the effects of Pycnogenol in relieving symptoms of climacteric syndrome (CS). To Your Good Health,
