SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. - Doctor's Best is introducing MenoStrong with geniVida to its dietary supplement line, the company announced Tuesday. MenoStrong with geniVida contains genistein, a natural, hormone-free ingredient that provides menopause symptom relief and supports bone health.
"Every year, millions of women transition into menopause causing them to experience a variety of symptoms," stated Gale Bensussen, CEO, Doctor's Best. "We know they prefer not to take drugs for symptom relief, if possible. We are pleased to be adding this supplement to our product portfolio to help provide relief that comes from science-based nutrition rather than drug therapy."
The company noted that genistein, the primary isoflavone found in soy foods, can help lessen the discomfort of menopausal symptoms. Genistein belongs to a class of plant compounds called phytoestrogens that functionally mimic the role that estrogen plays in the body. geniVida has been shown in a double blind placebo controlled randomized clinical study to help reduce both the number and duration of hot flashes in healthy menopausal women, Doctor's Best noted.
