The plant available hormones..
(i was aware that red clover had oestrogens in them)

when I was first menopausal I resoted to over the counter pills.


Crying or Very sad no luck with pills loaded with herbs and all sorts of goodies.


Surprised I then started using a product with generous amounts of soy and red clover. I was aware of the great health benefits of soy .. And the pills were inexpensive..

After several months the symptoms vanished.


I continued taking them for 2 or so years... At 55 .. I (stupidly) went off them presuming i'd be too old for menopause symptoms.

For nearly a year after going of the pills I had no symptoms.. Until just recently!!!


Embarassed I tried pills with black cohosh .... No relief!!


So after doing a www.Search ..

I've just been to the shop..And started back on the plant oestrogen pills.


Apparently in countries where they eat lots of soy.. Very few women complain of menopausal symptoms.
Good for the bones also.

Also women live longer there than they do in other developed countries.

I havent got a family history of breast cancer.. It is suggested there could be a link between soy and breast caner...
I'll keep you posted.
