Supporting the body in its ability to manage a smooth hormonal transition and to replenish its energy reserves is important to a continuously active lifestyle. In harmony with that goal, there are select foods, vitamins, minerals, and special nutritional factors concentrated from food that can be taken. Additionally, nature provides profoundly nourishing herbs that support a woman's health and hormone balance during this period of hormone decline. These herbs fall into three categories: (1) plants that possess phytoestrogens, sometimes referred to as "weak estrogens"; (2) herbs traditionally used to support liver function: and (3) plants traditionally used to support blood and its circulation - the "road" that hormones must travel to reach the reproductive tissues where they support moisture and lubrication.

The midlife woman may benefit from the following nutrients: (1) those that support the adrenal glands' adaptive response; (2)the significant phytonutrient benefits of black cohosh and wild yam; (3) the traditional use of chaste berry (vitex) to support well-being during menopause; (4) the cardiovascular support of vitamin E and coenzyme Q10; (5) the peaceful influence of valerian and mother wort herb; and (6) comprehensive bone support from calcium-rich supplements.
