Why It Works
Benefits
Inochi no Haha Equol provides targeted support through carefully selected ingredients for menopausal wellness.
Supports Hormonal Balance Naturally
S-equol is a metabolite of soy isoflavones that acts as a gentle phytoestrogen. It helps modulate estrogen receptor activity, potentially reducing the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats. The 2mg daily dose provides consistent support for hormonal balance during menopause.
Phytoestrogen research-backedPromotes Relaxation and Calm
The formula includes 28mg of GABA and 25mg of Theanine - two ingredients known for their calming properties. These work together to support a sense of calm and help manage the stress and mood fluctuations that often accompany hormonal changes during menopause.
GABA and Theanine researchedBypasses Natural Production Limitations
Only about 50% of people can naturally convert soy isoflavones into equol through gut bacteria. This supplement provides direct S-equol intake, ensuring that everyone can receive the benefits regardless of their body's natural conversion ability.
Fermented soy technologyComprehensive Womens Wellness Support
Beyond S-equol, the formula includes enzyme-treated Hesperidin (31.3mg) from citrus - a polyphenol that supports circulation and delivers additional wellness benefits. This multi-ingredient approach addresses multiple aspects of menopausal wellbeing.
