Menopause Syndrome, oxidative stress and food supplements

An increase in Oxidative Stress levels is observed during menopause period. During this period of time there are many symptoms which have an impact on the women’s quality of life. Cor.Con. International has rationally developed products that aim at preserving or restoring the proper systemic RedOx status and providing symptom relief in women in their menopause periods.

Many women spend almost one-third of their lives in menopause, which is a natural process during aging. Menopause represents the time that marks the end of reproductive years in women, accompanied by an important reduction in estrogen production. The decline and eventual cessation of estrogen production has been shown to cause a variety of symptoms during menopause, affecting women’s quality of life differently. Moreover, during aging processes, the antioxidant levels decline, leaving the human body susceptible to a variety of ROS-induced damages. Such a decline in conjunction with the gradual reduction of estrogen levels is associated with the various symptoms and negative effects occurring in women during menopause. It has been clinically demonstrated that menopause creates a pro-oxidant state in the body due to the decline of the natural antioxidant, estrogen and foods rich in antioxidants have been shown to be of great benefit in women experiencing menopausal symptoms, because they help to eliminate oxidative stress within the body. There is no pharmacological treatment that can stop menopause syndrome, but current treatments are based on therapies aimed at reducing symptoms that impact women’s quality of life. Noteworthy, there are several natural ingredients able to support women in menopause, and several products are now available, albeit only few can really impact on women’s quality of life. The main differences refer to the availability of direct clinical evidences in support of the product’s efficacy, the quality of the ingredients used and the presence of ingredients that can work synergically. Cor.Con. International has rationally developed and clinically tested a natural supplement that is able to deal with menopause syndrome symptoms.
