Estroven Stress, Mood & Memory is one of the 7 formulations from the Estroven line designed to support menopausal women. The formula provides relief from multiple menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats while promoting a balanced mood and memory. The formula is developed by i-Health, a subsidiary of DSM Nutritional Products. A strange thing about the Estroven line (and several other brands commercialized by iHealth) is that we found many online stores who sell these products under the Amerifit label. However, at this time, there is no reference to Amerifit on the official site of the product.

Estroven Stress, Mood & Memory is based on several extracts that are commonly used to improve mood and reduce stress and are also rich in hormone balancing chemicals that should be effective in alleviating menopausal symptoms. The formula is free of preservatives, yeast, wheat, lactose, or gluten.

Facts

1) Stress, Mood & Memory Quick Facts

Calcium, the first listed ingredient is a key mineral essential for human health in all stages of life. Proper levels of Calcium are needed to maintain strong bones, and the levels of this chemical have been observed to decline with age. Women are the most affected and one of the most common diseases associated with Calcium deficiency in adults is called osteoporosis. Menopause leads to bone loss because the estrogen levels decrease drastically causing bone resorption and reduced Calcium absorption. The highest Calcium depletion occurs in the first year of menopause (3-5%), so it becomes essential for women who reach this stage to start eating more Calcium rich foods or supplement through appropriate medication. Estrogen therapy is also recommended for preventing Calcium depletion and restoring its normal levels.

Black Cohosh has been used traditionally to relieve PMS and menopause symptoms for a few centuries. The main symptoms it seems to be effective in reducing are mood swings, hot flashes, irritability, and sleep problems. The plant extract has also been associated with anti-inflammatory effects which makes it useful against osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical studies reveal similar benefits in relieving menopausal symptoms to conventional means of treatment.

Black cohosh is a common ingredient, especially in dietary supplements marketed to women as remedies for the symptoms of premenstrual tension, menopause, and other gynecological problems. While this may be appealing for those interested in such treatments, it is important to know that its usage for treating these health problems is controversial. Many recent studies are casting doubt on Black cohosh’s Effectiveness.

The official website displays some information, but it is not enough to make a general impression regarding this product’s Effectiveness. Furthermore, the company does not cite any relevant clinical studies and researches to support its claims.

Directions

7) Directions For Taking Stress, Mood & Memory

Ginkgo Biloba is a very popular memory booster recommended for people of all ages. Its antioxidant compounds are highly praised by scientists and consumers alike. However, not all studies revealed the desired results, and some researchers have doubts about the long-term safety and its ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Ginkgo is also a very potent blood thinner, so those who are already under medication (of any type) should first ask their doctor if their current line of treatment is compatible with a Ginkgo Biloba supplement.
