During perimenopause, a women may experience
irregularity in her menstrual periods. PMS may intensify or become a problem for the
first time in a woman's life. Symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, insomnia, and
changes in libido may begin to appear.
Menopause
Menopause is defined as a woman’s last menstrual period. The average age of
menopause is 51, and a woman is considered postmenopausal when she has not had a
period for 12 consecutive months.

3. For most women, more than one-third of life still lies ahead after menopause. At this
time of life, it is more important than ever for women to take care of themselves with a
self-care approach that includes attention to diet and exercise.
Whether a woman chooses hormone therapy or not, the right nutritional supplement is
essential for helping to manage menopause symptoms and support bone strength and
cardiovascular health. Perimenopausal women whose symptoms are primarily those
of PMS, may find ProCycle® PMS most helpful. When symptoms are primarily those of
menopause or menopause has occurred, ProCycle® Gold is the formula to choose.
Evaluating Your Symptoms
Your Personal Symptom Chart
Keeping a Personal Symptom Chart is one of the easiest and best ways to determine
the pattern and severity of symptoms related to menopause. For greatest accuracy,
fill in your Personal Symptom Chart on a daily basis — we recommend you set aside
a specific time each day. After you’ve carefully charted your symptoms for two to
three months, discuss your findings with your healthcare provider. Together, you’ll
be able to see the pattern in your symptoms and decide on the most appropriate
treatment for you.

Powerful Menopause Nutrients
Vitamin E
Sometimes called the “menopausal vitamin” because it may have chemical activities
similar to estrogen, vitamin E may relieve hot flashes and vaginal dryness as well as
psychological symptoms of menopause. Heart disease is the number one cause of death
among women. We know from the Nurses Health Study that women who took vitamin E
over a two-year period reduced their risk of fatal heart attacks by 40%.
Calcium/Magnesium/Vitamin D/Boron Combination
When it comes to strong, healthy bones, the synergistic effect of several vitamins
and minerals is important. While calcium is essential for bone formation and
maintenance, more and more studies are showing the importance of magnesium for
bone mineral density (BMD). In fact, a total dietary program emphasizing magnesium
instead of calcium megadosing is recommended. (See page 6.) Vitamin D is also
important for stimulating bone mineralization and the intestinal absorption of
calcium and phosphate. Boron is a trace nutrient thought to activate vitamin D.
Folic Acid
It is widely known that folic acid can lower the high levels of homocystine associated with two
of the biggest concerns for postmenopausal women, heart disease and osteoporosis. Folic acid
should be taken along with vitamin B6 and B12 which also influence homocystine levels.

Formula Is Clinically Proven
A Total Dietary Program
Emphasizing Magnesium Instead of Calcium
Effect on the Mineral Density of Calcaneous Bone in Postmenopausal Women
on Hormonal Therapy
Guy E Abraham, MD and Harinder Grewal, MD
The use of calcium supplementation for the management of primary postmenopausal
osteoporosis (PPMO) has increased significantly in the past few years. A review of
the published data does not support calcium megadosing during postmenopause.
Controlled studies showed no significant effect of calcium intake on mineral density of
trabecular bone and a slight effect on cortical bone. Since PPMS is predominantly due to
demineralization of trabecular bone, there is no justification for calcium megadosing in
postmenopausal women. Soft tissue calcification is a serious risk factor during calcium
megadoisng under certain conditions.

7. ProCycle® Gold + Diet + Exercise =
Symptom Management
Supplementing the right nutrients in the right amounts with ProCycle® Gold can
go a long way toward managing menopause symptoms. Diet and exercise are also
important. Just a few small changes can help to increase energy, reduce stress, and
keep symptoms to a minimum.
1. Eat Smaller Meals More Often— Instead of “three
squares,” try eating three small meals and three protein-
oriented snacks. Frequent small meals keep your blood
sugar stable, avoid energy highs and lows and can help
keep unwanted pounds away.
2. Eat Wholesome— A balanced, wholesome, and high-nutrient diet with lots
of whole grains, leafy greens and other vegetables, lean protein foods, and fish with
Omega-3 fatty acids like salmon can help reduce symptoms. Foods to avoid include
salty and high fat meats, high-fat cheeses, white bread, salty or sweet snacks, caffeinated
drinks, and alcohol.
3. Avoid Food Stressors— Food stressors, irritants, and stimulants can make
symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia worse. These include foods high in refined
sugars and fats, processed or chemical foods, caffeine drinks (coffee, tea, colas), alcohol,
and chocolate products. To help with insomnia, avoid large meals before bedtime. For
help with hot flashes, avoid foods that are spicy or acidic.
4. Get Physical and Reduce Stress—
Moderate exercise is great for overall fitness and helps
reduce stress. Exercise raises HDL (“good cholesterol”)
and reduces triglycerides (fats) in the blood. It builds
strong bones, increases heart and lung capacity, and
reduces fluid retention. It also causes the release of
endorphins, nature’s mood elevators, and increases
oxygen and blood flow to muscles, reducing tension.
Weight bearing exercise is particularly important to
keep bones healthy and strong. Research shows even
a moderate amount of weight-bearing exercise like
walking or jogging for 30 minutes, three or four times a
week can help. Yoga is a great way to keep your entire
body supple and relax your mind at the same time.
