Women’s Health

Women have many special issues that can be supported by natural supplements. We always recommend starting with an excellent Vitamin supplement such as Ultra Preventive X. If heart conditions run in the family or if one has high cholesterol or high hs-CRP or other cardiac risk factors consider adding our cardiac support pack.

Then for specialized female concerns, The Anti-Aging Store recommends considering adding the following:

1. For general help with reducing osteoporosis risk, The Anti-Aging Store recommends calcium Calcium D Glucarate (500 mg) 2 pills daily prior to menopause and 3 per day at and after menopause. Combine this with our Vitamin D 1000 IU daily if you get little or no sun exposure.
2. For menopausal support (hot flashes, night sweats, irritability), soy, black cohosh, and hesperidin methyl chalcone have been found to be helpful for many women. The anti-aging store recommends EstroFlavone as the first line product. Also available are Menoease and Ultra-Menoease formulas. For those with resistant symptoms, try OsteoSoy. Warning: DO NOT TAKE SOY PRODUCTS IF YOU HAVE PERSONALLY HAD BREAST CANCER.
3. Varicose veins and spider veins are an extremely common problem amongst women, with up to 75% of women having them at some time during their lifespan. For vein support the Anti-Aging Store recommends Varitonin, a blend of Horse chestnut and other herbs. Click here to see our special video on varicose and spider veins.
4. To support one’s sexual libido both before and after menopause, The Anti-Aging Store recommends Female Y Capsules. Also consider Mexican Wild Yam.
5. For women in child bearing years be sure to take folic acid, available in our vitamin support packs or separately folic acid 400mcg.
6. Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of blindness as women age. For ocular support use MaccuShield or Occu-Min Forte (consult your opthamologist or optometrist.
7. For sleep support, especially at the time of menopause and thereafter, consider melatonin 1mg to 3 mg (either oral or sublingual)
8. For constipation, The Anti-Aging Store recommends Fiber-Plex.
