For countless generations, girls grew into women, gave birth to children, and experienced the menopausal transition more or less without incident. Around 1950, in more developed nations, women began to report more cases of hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and a host of other discomforts appearing at this time of life.

Today, 70% of American women experience these complaints. Curiously, Japanese women rarely experience these problems – until they move to the United States and adopt a western diet. At that point, these discomforts become as common for them as they are for other women. This suggests that diet and lifestyle are primary factors in determining a woman's menopausal experience.

The female body is designed to maintain a precise balance between estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones. During childbearing years, progesterone is made in both the ovaries and adrenal glands. As menopause nears, the ovaries begin to shut down, leaving the adrenals as the only source. Unfortunately, high levels of stress can divert these glands toward other tasks, thus leading to hormone imbalances. According to modern medicine, these imbalances cause menopausal distress.

While modern medicine sees hormone imbalances as the ultimate cause of menopausal distress, Traditional Chinese Medicine sees them as signs of deficiencies of or imbalances between the “yin” and “yang” energies in the Kidney System. To enjoy femininity as Nature intends, these energies must be plentiful and in balance. While all menopause supplements address hot flashes, mood swings, and other discomforts, they ignore this larger problem.

Transitions™ is formulated with all of the necessary ingredients to promote complete female balance naturally - no matter what stage of menopause or pre-menopause. Based on multiple studies and centuries of use, the combination of plant-based ingredients in Transitions™ have been shown to not only help provide relief from hot flashes, mood swings, and irritability but also support hormonal balance and adrenal health.*

It includes several herbs such as Black Cohosh, Chaste Tree berry, Kudzu, Wild Yam, and Dong Quai because they are phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that imitate estrogen. Estrogen dominance is a big part of the problem, so phytoestrogens balance estrogen, with estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects to match what the body needs. Phytoestrogens also help relieve hot flashes, fight acne, promote heart health, and combat postmenopausal osteoporosis.*

Transitions™ is supported by adaptogens (Eleuthero, Fo-ti, Poria Cocos, and Rehmannia) that have been shown to help provide outstanding adrenal support and improve resistance to stress. And because hormones like progesterone and estrogen are delivered to cells by the blood, we also included herbs like White Peony and Burdock to support strong, vibrant blood.*
