Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause and can be uncomfortable for many women. While there are prescription medications available for treating hot flashes, some women prefer to use natural supplements. Here are some supplements that may help with hot flashes: Black cohosh: Black cohosh is an herb that has been traditionally used to treat menopause symptoms, including hot flashes. It is believed to work by balancing hormones in the body. Vitamin E: Some studies have shown that taking vitamin E supplements can help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. Soy: Soy products contain phytoestrogens, which are compounds that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. Some women find that consuming soy products or taking soy supplements can help reduce hot flashes. Flaxseed: Flaxseed is high in lignans, which are compounds that can help balance hormones in the body. Some studies have shown that taking flaxseed supplements can help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. Evening primrose oil: Evening primrose oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an omega-6 fatty acid that can help reduce inflammation in the body. Some women find that taking evening primrose oil supplements can help reduce hot flashes. Approximately 50.3% to 82.1% of women going through menopause experience hot flashes and night sweats. To help manage symptoms, 40-50% of women rely on the use of complementary therapies such as plant-based supplements. Plant compounds called phytoestrogens have been found to have similar structures and functions when compared to the hormones within humans. Estradiol is an estrogen steroid hormone that naturally drops throughout a woman’s life cycle. Decreases in estradiol levels create vasomotor instability, which contributes to hot flashes. Utilizing plant compounds is theorized to help compensate for the estradiol drops through a woman’s life cycle. Lower rates of postmenopausal symptoms have been observed in Asian women. This is thought to be due to the high dietary intake of soybeans, which contain isoflavones. Isoflavones are thought to work as a phytoestrogen and have a high binding affinity to estrogen beta receptors. This sheds light on the mechanism behind how phytoestrogens are able to reduce hot flash frequency and vaginal dryness scores. Based on the current research findings, the ingredients in the protocol below have demonstrated efficacy in improving hot flashes associated with menopause.
