Wellesley Women’s Institute Ingredient Analysis:
|
Criteria | Our Comments |
Phytoestrogenic Ingredients For Hot Flashes | Estrogen deficiency during menopause causes hot flashes. Estrotone does not have any phytoestrogens. | |
Progesterone and/or Progesterone Precursors for Hormonal Balance | Progesterone balances out estrogen and is essential when supplementing the body with estrogen. Estrotone has black cohosh which contains progesterone precursors. Estrotone also contains chasteberry which has been shown to lower prolactin and raise progesterone levels. | |
No artificial dyes | Estrotone has no carcinogenic titanium dioxide. |
Estrotone Ingredients
Estrotone addresses only 1 issue with menopause, low progesterone levels. It has black cohosh extract which contains progesterone precursors and chasteberry which raises progesterone elvels.
But because Estrotone does not actually address estrogen levels, it does not address menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats.
Does Estrotone Work?
Low levels of estrogen and progesterone cause the symptoms of menopause. Estrotone just addresses progesterone levels. Proper progesterone levels help with mental clarity and mood.
Is Estrotone Safe?
Traditional Hormonal Hormone Replacement Therapy relies on supplying the body with estrogen and/or progesterone. Estrotone uses natural herbal alternatives that help balance those hormones.

So would it be OK to take Estrotone with Estroven? Would they balance one another, since Estrotone has the progestrone, but no Estrogen and Estroven has the Estrogen, but no progestrone? Seem like sound logic, but is it?
