Macafem and Hormonal Imbalance

Nurse-practitioner from White Plains, New York.

Nurse Sulger-Smith says she learned about Macafem's main component, Lepidium Meyenii, while reading a postmenopausal article where its beneficial effects were described for postmenopausal women.

"I read an article about postmenopausal health which discussed this Peruvian herb. Before doing so, I had been prescribing black cohosh, dong quai, oil of evening primrose, vitamin E and other natural remedies to women with perimenopausal symptoms. But when I began using these remedies to help with my own hot flashes and other symptoms of approaching menopause, I didn't get the relief I needed. So I acquired a supply of this herb and took it as advised.

Almost immediately, my hot flashes disappeared and my energy level went up. My response was surprising to my gynecologist, who insisted that I undergo a series of laboratory studies, including estrogen levels, uterine monograms and others. They all turned out normal," says nurse Sulger-Smith.

"I haven't had a hot flash since I started using it and I feel fabulous. When I told my patients about it, they tried it and found freedom from their perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms."
