HerbRT The Natural Alternative to HRT
Currently, there are about 1.5 million women in the UK taking some form of HRT. There is probably an equal number of women that have tried it and could not continue due to side effects.
Recent research and reports have highlighted the potential problems that may arise as a consequence of long term use of HRT. It is therefore imperative that women are aware that there is an alternative to HRT and its potential harmful effects. Just such an alternative is HerbRT, formulated by herbalist Stuart FitzSimmons.
What is HerbRT?
HerbRT is a combination of the herbs Chinese angelica, wild yam, red clover,fenugreek, hops and fennel. It is a liquid formula containing the herbs in the highest concentration that can be achieved in a liquid extract. The base of the formula contains no alcohol like most other liquid herbal preparations today. Instead, the base is vegetable glycerine, making it suitable for vegetarians and those for whom alcohol is forbidden.
HRT is a alchohol-free fluid extract and each 1ml dosage contains:-Angelica sinneis(Dong quai), fluid extract(1:1) 200mg
Dioscora opposiatae (Wild yam), fluid extract (1:1) 200mg
Triofolium pratense (Red Clover), fluid extract (1:1) 200mg Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenugreek), fluid extract (1:1) 200mg
Hummulus lupulus (hops), fluid extract(1:1) 200mg
In a base containing equal parts of the floral water of Foeniculum vulgare and vegetable derived glycerine.
How does HerbRT work?
HerbRT is based upon herbs that contain phyto-oestrogenic chemicals. Many herbs and common foods contain these chemicals. The phyto-oestrogens found in herbs work because part of the molecular structure fits the human oestrogen receptor on the cells of the body and provides a mild oestrogenic effect. However, the phyto-oestrogens are not associated with the sameside-effects as the synthetic, drug type oestrogens. In fact, the phyto-oestrogens are linked to many health benefits. Apart from helping to reduce the symptoms of the menopause and restore lost energy they protect the heart and circulation and fight against osteoporosis. Population studies have shown that people with a high intake of phyto-oestrogens are less likely to suffer to suffer the hormone dependant cancers, such as breast cancer.
Can any woman take HerbRT?
The women that should not take the phyto-oestrogens are those taking drugs that alter normal levels of oestrogen and progesterone in the body. This includes women taking the contraceptive pill, HRT,tamoxifen and danazol. You should not take HerbRT if you suffer chronic or recurring mastitis.
Do not take phyto-oestrogen products if you are pregnant.
