It is vital when you arrive at the age of pre-menopause, menopause or andropause to start taking nutritional supplements as well as biomimetic hormones for balancing your hormones and your overall health. The daily buildup of chronic stress, toxins in the environment and the lack of nutrition in our foods wear down the health of our bodies. Cooking often removes most of the nutrition in our food. It is best to eat an organic diet which can be difficult or expensive to maintain and find in certain parts of the country.
A daily high quality multivitamin can aid in supplementing your body with the nutrition it requires. Buy a good multivitamin from a health store. Vitamins found in supermarket and drugstores often contain only low dosages of the nutrients you require and also contain fillers, by-products and binders. Test your multivitamin to see how it dissolves in water. Let the vitamin sit in a glass of water. Within 15 minutes, it should have dissolved. This is the test for water solubility for your vitamins.
Check the label and look for the following recommended dosages of nutritional supplements which should be found in a ghigh quality multivitamin. These vitamins and minerals assist in balancing your hormones during menopause and andropause. These supplements need to be taken in addition to natural bioidentical hormones. Achieving balance of your hormones and maintaining health and well being is a combination of things: balancing your hormones with natural bioidentical/biomimetic hormones, diet, nutritional supplements, stress reduction, and daily exercise. It also requires that you make other lifestyle changes including quitting smoking and reducing your consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Your daily multivitamin for hormone equilibrium should include the following. If it does not, you could also buy these in a health store as separate supplements. For personal guidance in what you need as far as supplementation goes on a daily basis, talk with a naturopathic doctor or an antiaging specialist. We only suggest what dosages you need to take. A personal consultation should be pursued and will let you know what amounts of supplements you need to take day by day.
