New Treatment Reverses Symptoms of Menopause Without Hormone Therapy
It is estimated that 41 million women in the United States and 250 million women worldwide experience chronic and sometimes debilitating symptoms of menopause. Hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) has been a common pharmaceutical remedy, but a surge of recent studies has shown HRT increases a woman's risk of elevated blood pressure, endometrial and breast cancers, stroke, blood clots and gallbladder disease.
To combat that, Lunada Biomedical has launched a breakthrough natural treatment that effectively alleviates chronic menopausal symptoms. In the randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study, Amberen alleviated most symptoms in menopausal women, including hot flashes, night sweats, headaches, anxiety, loss of libido, as well as other neuro-vegetative and psycho-emotional symptoms.
The new treatment works by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and rejuvenating the body's own internal hormone balancing capability. These kinds of therapeutic effects have never been previously achieved with a non-hormonal treatment. The study results were published in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, a NY-based peer-reviewed journal, as well as the peer-reviewed publication, Advances of Gerontology.
"In our studies, we successfully tested a non-hormonal compound based on natural mitochondrial metabolites that essentially mimic the effects of signaling hormones, but without the dangerous side-effects associated with HRT," says Dr. Maevsky, MD, Ph.D., who led the research team.
Prior to conducting human clinical trials, Lunada Biomedical researchers studied the effect of Amberen treatment on mice. In those studies, Amberen restored estral cycles in old mice and reversed other menopausal symptoms, including loss of bone tissue, weight and calcium content. It also had a favorable effect on the appearance and behavior of animals-they became more active, their lackluster eyes acquired brightness and their pale, yellowish coat regained white color and shine, resembling the coat of young animals. Spots of bald skin also grew new hair.
"Our approach, which focuses on correcting metabolism and neuroendocrine control by using a signal energy intermediate, SBC, instead of exogenous hormones, is the first of its kind and represents a step forward in metabolic mitochondrial medicine. In addition to safely addressing symptoms of menopause, it offers hope in the development of safer treatments for a wide range of diseases, particularly those associated with aging," stated Dr. Maevsky.
Amberen is taken in intermittent three-month courses, during which women take two 200mg capsules a day. For a full 90-day course of Amberen and a 30-day money-back guarantee, Amberen is $99.98. No prescription is required and it is available online at www.myamberen.com and through select health practitioners.
