Description

Women who are peri- or postmenopausal need vitamins and minerals for maintenance of bone density, as well as specific nutritional support for hormonal changes they experience. Meta-Fem is a complete nutritional supplement for women of either peri- or postmenopausal age. It contains
more calcium than our other multis, as women need more absorbable calcium and nutrients that support good bone health. Meta-Fem features calcium citrate-malate (shown to be significantly better absorbed than calcium carbonate or oyster shell calcium). Meta-Fem contains no iron, as
the need for iron usually lessens as a woman enters menopause. If a woman in the perimenopausal period is experiencing abnormally heavy menses, it is recommended she take Nutri-Fem or add a blood-building formula such as Ferrasorb.

In addition, specific nutrients and botanicals have been added with the special needs of this population of women in mind. Wild yam provides phytoprogesterone-like effects, while dong quai has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, along with other herbs, for the control of vasomotor
symptoms of menopause. Hesperidin methyl chalcone is also included because of its potential to alleviate hot flashes. While these additions to Meta-Fem may prevent the occurrence of uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause, it has been designed to be used in conjunction with Meta-Balance for additional menopause support.

Now Meta-Fem contains 1,600 IU of vitamin D3 in a full daily dose.
