Perimenopausal Support
At Symphony Natural Health, we believe that perimenopause is the trajectory into the declining function of the endocrine system based on a woman’s age, genetics, diet, lifestyle, environment, emotional state, and many other factors. For that reason, we break down our protocol into three parts: foundational functional systems (part I and II), which are key for all women, and symptom relief (part III), which is used on a patient-by-patient basis. All of these are combined with physical, mental, emotional, and other whole-health support.
Part I – Foundational endocrine support
FemmenessencePRO PERI (Symphony Natural Health)
Dosing: Take 1 capsule twice daily, away from meals. Take the first dose in the morning before breakfast, and the second dose early in the afternoon or before afternoon energy low. Do not take it beyond late afternoon, as it may interfere with sleep.
Maintenance dose: After 4–8 months of use, if the body has been rebalanced, reduce the dose used to half the original dose.
Higher dosing: If a patient does not get the desired response in the first 30 days or needs additional support, there could be a case for increasing the dose to 2 capsules, twice daily.
FemmenessencePRO PERI contains MacaLife® a concentrated, highly bioavailable, proprietary formulation of Lepidium peruvianum (maca) phenotypes specifically formulated for women to support the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid-adrenal-ovarian (HPTAO) axis and perimenopausal symptoms.*
Part II – Foundational nutrition and hydration support
Personalized nutrition support
In addition to the foundational nutrition products listed here, there may be other nutrients required for an individual based on personalized characteristics, such as their gene variants, dietary pattern, physical activity level, environment, and toxin load, to name a few.
