Hormone Replacement Therapy... More harm that good?

Over 15 million women rely on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to help take the edge off menstrual and menopausal discomforts. Until 2002, many of these millions of women have remained on HRT, even after menopause, under the widespread belief that these drugs helped to prevent heart disease and different forms of cancer. In the summer of 2002, these women awoke to their morning papers and broadcast news to learn that the risks of HRT outweighs the rewards. Now what?

For many women, in 2002, the prospects were slim. The National Institutes of Health halted its study of estrogen plus progestin therapy because of evidence that it increased the risk of strokes, blood clots, heart disease, and most shockingly, breast cancer. The painful irony was that HRT was previously thought to prevent these ailments. Adding insult to injury, a European HRT study with one million female participants was also halted for the very same reasons and included increased risk of dementia. Once these startling studies were published, millions of women began to seek out more natural alternatives to HRT to help relieve the symptoms of menopause. But who to turn to? Who to trust? Who can women depend on to provide quality, natural alternatives to HRT without the risks and unwanted side-effects?

Shaklee... Of Course!

Based on more than 40 years of clinical use in Europe and recent scientific studies, Shaklee scientists have created a unique, natural formula called Menopause Balance Complex. This extraordinary complex is comprised of natural, concentrated phytoestrogens from various plants and herbs. These phytoestrogens have been proven to help regulate hormonal balance in women during the transition period of menopause.


During menopause, women's ovaries begin to produce less of the reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone. This hormone fluctuation can have an effect on many bodily processes, including:

• Normal body temperature

• Normal sleep patterns

• Mood and balanced sense of well-being

Scientific studies suggest that along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, consuming phytoestrogens (like supplementing with Menopause Balance Complex) may safely compensate for the reduced production of hormones during menopause.
