Natural Perimenopause Support: A Clinically-Proven Rhubarb Extract

For women everywhere, perimenopause brings forth a huge chapter of change. From fluctuating levels of energy to a renewed focus on yourself, perimenopause can be an exciting step towards a new future. Unfortunately, for some women the menopausal transition can mean enduring uncomfortable symptoms that strike unexpectedly. From hot and sweaty skin struggles, to feeling on-edge emotionally for no reason, to completely losing your sex drive (and sometimes, it feels, your mind) – it’s easy to see why experiencing perimenopause might not always feel like a time you’re keen to embrace. 

Luckily, there are clinically effective support options for those navigating the rocky roads of perimenopause. ERr 731®, also known as Siberian rhubarb, is a medicinal plant used widely across Europe to support perimenopausal women & relieve menopause symptoms for more than 20 years.¹'² Found in Estrovera, ERr 731® has been shown in clinical trials to significantly improve hot flushes, nervous tension and low sex drive²'³'⁴'⁵ ERr 731® has helped countless women achieve fantastic results in as little as four weeks.² By lessening the intensity of uncomfortable symptoms, ERr 731® can help women navigate perimenopause with confidence and emerge with vibrance on the other side.

How does ERr 731 work on Perimenopausal Symptoms? 

When female hormones such as oestrogen start to fluctuate between the age of 45 to 55, perimenopausal & menopausal symptoms can arise. This is because hormones are a bit like a musical conductor controlling the rhythm of an orchestra; when the hormonal ‘rhythm’ changes, every cell can feel the effects.  

To relieve perimenopausal symptoms associated with shifting hormone levels, natural compounds within ERr 731® can influence the body’s sensitivity to fluctuating oestrogen ‘rhythm’. This can lessen the shock of intense hormonal fluctuations that can trigger symptoms such as hot flushes.³'⁴ Interestingly, Siberian rhubarb can also help calm the mind and body, which can also help to reduce the frequency of hot flushes.⁶

The Role of a Healthcare Practitioner in Navigating Perimenopause 

While the journey through perimenopause can be challenging, enlisting a trusted healthcare practitioner such as a Naturopath, can help in guiding you this transition. They offer personalised care, helping you understand the changes happening in your body and the symptoms you may experience, such as hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Working with you one-on-one, they will get an understanding of your individual journey with thorough assessments. From there, can recommend appropriate treatments, whether it's hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle modifications, or natural remedies like ERr 731® (Siberian rhubarb). 

Healthcare Practitioners also provide emotional support, addressing any concerns or anxieties you may have and offering strategies to manage stress and maintain mental wellbeing. Their expertise ensures that you receive evidence-based advice tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to navigate perimenopause with confidence and ease. Regular check-ins and open communication with your healthcare practitioner can also help monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your care plan, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes during this significant life stage.
