Today, women are leading very dynamic and diverse lifestyles. Despite this diversity, there is one constant. They are all experiencing physiological changes. They will all experience menopause. The time when you have menopausal symptoms is a multiphasic period. Technically, the change or transitional process of menopause is known as the Climacteric . There are different phases of the climacteric that a woman experiences:
1. Perimenopause is the transitional phase when hormone levels begin to drop. This phase lasts typically 3 to 5 years but can last up to 10 years. This gradual decline in estrogen levels causes the troublesome effects of menopause.
2. Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation. The average age at menopause is 51, but there is considerable variation in this timing among women. Menopause is medically defined as one year without menstruation.
3. Postmenopause is the phase following menopause. During this phase, your body gets used to the loss of estrogen and eventually the symptoms such as hot flashes go away.

2. What makes Remifemin Menopause so special? Remifemin Menopause contains an exclusive extract of black cohosh. It is developed with specific modern analytical techniques which produce a standardized extract of the black cohosh root and rhizome.
3. With so many products out there claiming to be "natural," how can I be sure that this product is safe and effective? Remifemin's Menopause formulation is supported by over 40 years of clinical research, and millions of women in Europe have safely used it. Remifemin Menopause is drug free and estrogen free.

4. How does Remifemin Menopause work? Remifemin Menopause contains a proprietary standardized extract taken from the rootstock of the black cohosh plant. Studies have shown that the compounds found within this standardized herbal extract seem to interact with certain hormone receptors - without influencing hormone levels.*
5. How long does it take for Remifemin Menopause to work? Remifemin Menopause is a natural herbal supplement, not a drug. It will take time for your body' cycles to respond to its gentle onset. Personally, you may notice improvements within a few weeks. But for some women, it may take 4 to 12 weeks to benefit fully from Remifemin Menopause. Since the effects of Remifemin Menopause increase after extended twice daily use, we recommend that you take Remifemin Menopause for at least 12 weeks. If you do not find any difference in your well being after 12 weeks, please consult your physician to discuss other options.
6. Can I take it over a long period of time, since the menopausal period lasts for years? We recommend that you take Remifemin Menopause twice daily for up to 6 months continuously. If, after discontinuing use, your symptoms return, you may start taking Remifemin Menopause again. Keep in mind that Remifemin Menopause is a natural herbal supplement that supports a natural change that may take you years to go through.* As part of an overall good health care program, we encourage you to see your health care practitioner on a regular basis.
7. Are there any known side effects? When used properly following the package directions, Remifemin Menopause has few side effects, if any. In clinical research, there was a small percentage of gastric discomfort complaints. If you have been taking Remifemin Menopause and find that this or any other condition develops and persists, please discontinue use and see your physician.
8. Is there a certain time of the day when I should take this product? Do I need to take it with food? You can take Remifemin Menopause with or without food. We recommend that you take one tablet in the morning with your breakfast and one tablet in the evening with water for relief from day and nighttime effects of menopause.
9. Can I chew a tablet? While they do have a mild peppermint flavor, Remifemin Menopause tablets are purposely made to be swallowed with water. They could be chewed, but some women may find the taste unpleasant.
10. Can I take my herbal tea, vitamins, or other dietary supplements with Remifemin Menopause? Typically, dietary supplements can be taken with other dietary supplements. Always follow package directions. If you should notice any undesirable effects, discontinue taking them together.
