Menopause Support 1 (MA3938)

Comfort during menopause is largely determined by how balanced the body is during peri-menopause. Golden Transition 1 is an excellent general purpose preparation for a comfortable menopause. You can start taking it at the first sign of peri-menopausal changes to help maintain balance and keep free of impurities. It may also be taken after menopause to help maintain health.

Menopause Support 1 (MA939)

Menopause Support 2 is used to support Menopause Support 1 if the latter has not been enough. Menopause Support 2 is particularly useful for balancing Pitta related factors such as temperature balance and blood flow but also helps maintain balance of emotions and memory.

Calciocare contains natural sources of calcium especially prepared and combined with herbs that support not only its absorption but also its utilisation. (Each tablet contains 40mg calcium, 5% of RDA).

Cardio Support (MA1816)

Increased risk of heart attach is associated with ageing and it was thought that HRT reduced that risk. However it has now been shown that the opposite is true. Cardio Support nourishes both ojas and soma and the three subdoshas that govern the health of the heart: Sadhaka (emotional balance), Avalumbaka (stability, strength, security), Vyana (blood flow, heart beat).

Rasayana for Women (MA347)

This formula is especially helpful during the years before menopause.
