As menopause approaches, the function of ovaries begins to deteriorate and they start to produce less female hormones, estrogens. As a consequence, menstrual cycles become irregular, shorter or longer, and bleeding sudden or very abundant. Around 80% of women in menopause experience hotness and redness of the face and upper body, as well as frequent night sweats and insomnia. Most women experience irritability, depression, poor concentration and diminished libido. The mucosa of sexual organs becomes thin, dry and more susceptible to infections and injuries. The skin also becomes thin and dry, wrinkles appear, muscular tissue decreases and the fat increases. Osteoporosis and diseases of the cardiovascular system may befall any woman. Even if the symptoms of these diseases remain silent, they present a much more serious threat than hot flashes.

Red clover isoflavones are the most reliable phytohormones. Numerous research studies have shown them to be both safe and highly effective in reduction of unpleasant climacteric symptoms. They may be taken even when hormonal therapy is contraindicated. They are similar to estrogens so they partly take over the role of now reduced female hormones. They thus alleviate numerous discomforts and bring back the carefree smile to the woman's face. More and more studies have confirmed that isoflavones could contribute greatly to our nutrition as prevention of the diseases of heart and blood vessels, as well as osteoporosis. This conclusion is further proven by the observation that Asian women, because of their specific nutrition, tolerate menopause much better. Unlike Western women, they do not suffer from hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia. Osteoporosis develops less frequently and later than in Western women, and the mortality from cardiovascular diseases is significantly lower. It is not easy to change eating habits, but the lack of isoflavones in nutrition may be remedied by taking products that contain red clover isoflavones. Taking these products for a longer period has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, in particular arteries, and on the bone health.

VITALIA Feminal capsules are a natural product that contains all four red clover isoflavones, as much as 40 mg in a single capsule. One capsule a day is enough.

They should be taken by women who wish to:

- alleviate menopausal symptoms
- preserve healthy bones
