Feel free to start feeling your best. Our MenoFit® Pre + Probiotic helps reduce hot flashes, boosts metabolism, and promotes a balanced gut microbiome. This advanced, formulation includes prebiotics, probiotics, herbal extracts, vitamins, and minerals for effective support.*
Recent scientific studies are suggesting that probiotics can do more than just improve digestive health; they are critical to improving the microbiome. MenoFit® includes a very specific blend of probiotics that have been found in clinical trials and other scientific studies to be associated with immune support, heart health, weight loss, reduced adipose tissue, reduced waist circumference, and improve sugar metabolism.*
We packed many of the best herbs for women’s health into this supplement to support healthy cholesterol, hot flashes, mood swings, irritability, hormonal imbalances, and anti-aging. These herbs are phytoestrogens, plant compounds that bind with estrogen receptors in your body.*
To best support your health as you transition, we wanted something better than just a general “multivitamin”. We target our focus on the things women in all stages of menopause need a little more of.*
MenoFit includes our proprietary blend of premium quality probiotics, specifically identified and formulated by Dr. John P. Konhilas to address the symptoms of menopause. MenoFit is a doctor-formulated probiotic and herbal supplement blend designed to provide relief from hot flashes, support a healthy weight, and increase energy for women going through all stages of menopause. The connection between a healthy microbiome and healthy weight continues to reveal itself through multiple research studies. Our researchers have spent over 20 years identifying the best probiotic strains for weight loss that also help with balancing hormonal fluctuations that can cause hot flashes and mood swings.*
B. animalis has shown a positive impact supporting weight loss in the research of Dr. Konhilas in multiple studies. In fact, weight loss is what started his research into this particular strain. The presence of B. animalis can aid in balancing the body's hormones as probiotic bacteria can help deconjugate (recycle) estrogen.* **
Lactobacillus reuteri is a long-studied probiotic in numerous studies with multiple sub-strains. Our inclusion of it here is based on continuing research that suggests a gut-brain axis that may be affected by hormones, which may impact anxiety and mood and bone loss.
While the anxiety research is still taking place in mice, the bone loss study for older women was a double-blind placebo-controlled study showing the reduction of bone loss with oral supplementation of Lactobacillus reuteri. We also find the use of Lactobacillus reuteri in an aging mouse study to return the “glow of youth,” a fascinating first step in understanding the role the microbiome plays in overall health.*
Lactobacillus gasseri has been shown to reduce weight and adipose tissue in multiple studies. Probiotics like L. gasseri are important to how the body senses nutrients and communicates with the brain to regulate hunger and cravings.*
Lactobacillus plantarum has been studied and shown to reduce weight and improve blood sugar and sugar metabolism in humans. Women's metabolisms slow down as menopause approaches and even more when estrogen and progesterone levels continue to decrease. Lactobacillus plantarum may have an impact on metabolic rates, thus contributing to supporting a healthy weight.*
The MenoFit® Prebiotic blend is specifically formulated to stabilize and support the potential efficacy of the nutrient supplements and probiotics in our formulation. To ensure the best possible environment for probiotics in your gut, you need prebiotics (fiber). We've also added stabilizers that will provide a tiny bit of oil (fat) molecules to help with vitamin absorption and antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals. We use calcium as a stabilizer and add tocotrienols to support bone density and bone health specifically. Finally, we added resveratrol, a promising anti-aging antioxidant. Antioxidants can keep the ingredients from oxidizing as well as reducing free radicals in your body. We chose one of the most researched antioxidants we could find.*
We have included a fiber prebiotic (Organic Jerusalem Artichoke) which serves as a "food source" for the healthy gut bacteria in the capsule and in your digestive tract. A high fiber diet is linked to overall improved health and supports good bacteria in the microbiome.*
Tocotrienols may reduce the degeneration bones and continued bone health and healthy aging. Small amounts of bone loss occur as people age. Still, women are at higher risk of losing a significant amount, especially during menopause.*
Calcium intake (along with sufficient Vitamin D and Vitamin K2) has been shown to prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures in both perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Calcium Carbonate is included in our blend to not only help with bone health but can also have positive effects on the heart, your muscles, and the nervous system.*
With the reduction of female hormones during menopause, postmenopausal women may experience difficulty losing weight along with higher cholesterol levels. Acacia is an excellent source of fiber. Fiber intake is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight and helps to support the probiotic strains in this formulation.*
Resveratrol shows promise as an antioxidant to prevent or repair oxidative stress and cellular damage from oxidation. Stress, aging, poor diet, and other factors can increase oxidative stress in menopausal women. A diet rich in antioxidants has been shown to support improved health outcomes.*
Lecithin is an essential fat for the health of human cells. As bodies age, lecithin can improve overall health and energy while reducing fatigue in some placebo-controlled studies.*
MenoFit is where we put all the natural herbs and ingredients to help with hot flashes, mood swings, irritability, and hormonal imbalance. We packed many of the best herbs for women’s health into this supplement to support healthy cholesterol as well as anti-aging. Each is a source of isoflavones, which become phytoestrogens when combined with the right probiotics in your gut. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that bind with estrogen receptors in your body. Think of them as nature’s hormone supplements.*
Red clover is especially interesting when combined with multiple strains of lactobacillus. There is recent human clinical research that shows an apparent reduction in hot flash frequency and intensity in this combination. Red clover contains additional isoflavones (biochanin A, formononetin) not found in soy, which may have additional biological activity.*
Bitter Melon was added in this formulation as it is being studied as an herb that can improve pre-diabetic conditions and supports metabolism. The bitter melon extract also showed positive and useful results on fat deposition and weight loss.*
“To date, M. charantia has been extensively studied worldwide for its medicinal properties to treat a number of diseases[61]. It is described as a versatile plant worthy of treating almost any disease inflicted on mankind. This may be due to the fact that the plant possesses over 225 different medicinal constituents[62]. These different compounds may act either separately or together to exert their medicinal effects.”
Barberry has been used and studied for many years for its impact on blood lipids (Cholesterol) and metabolism. Specifically a meta-analysis of multiple studies concluded “Meta-analysis on 5 RCTs with 339 participants indicated that barberry supplementation significantly decreased the levels of total cholesterol (MD: -23.58 mg/dl, 95% CI: -31.00 to -16.16, P ≤ 0.001), triglyceride (MD: -29.16 mg/dl, 95% CI: -42.91 to -15.41, P ≤ 0.001), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MD: -13.75 mg/dl, 95% CI: -19.31 to -8.20, P ≤ 0.001) whereas changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MD: 3.40 mg/dl, 95% CI: -0.06-6.87, P = 0.054) was not statistically significant.”
This is interesting because the analysis of these studies showed a decrease in LDL (what some researchers call “Bad Cholesterol”) and did not affect HDL (Good cholesterol).*
Studies show potential anti-aging, stress reduction and support of bone health.*
Chasteberry may help bloat, cramps, breast tenderness, and mood swings. It has been found to have several biologically active compounds, including flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, and essential oils. We've included chasteberry as menopausal women have reported improved mood, sleep, and an overall improvement in menopause symptoms.*
This mainstay of traditional Chinese medicine has been found to decrease the overall number of hot flashes and night sweats compared to placebo in studies. Some postmenopausal women have used this traditional Chinese herb as one of the potential alternatives to HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).*
Studies suggest that magnolia may be used to help with symptoms of menopause. More specifically, it may reduce anxiety, insomnia, irritability, and other areas of neurology affected by the hormonal fluctuations in menopause.*
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring chemical of a group called carotenoids and is naturally found in algae. It is one of the most widely studied and powerful antioxidant substances. Studies have been done to show the impact of astaxanthin on skin health, aging, the immune system, and overall health. *
Not all vitamins are created equal. To best support your health as you transition, we wanted something better than just a general “multivitamin”. We wanted to target our focus on the things women in all stages of menopause need a little more of.
Vitamin C is included in our blend to help support immune function, growth and repair, and also aid in collagen production.*
In menopause, you need a good source of calcium, Vitamin K, and Vitamin D to properly deposit calcium into bone. Together, Vitamin K and Vitamin D help from something called Osteocalcin, which builds bone. Vitamin D is critical for many systems in your body, including your immune system, bones, skin, and it can even affect your mood and anxiety. As many as 75% of Americans have a Vitamin D deficiency, and we’ve got 100% of your daily value in our nutritional support blend.*
As women age, especially when transitioning through menopause, bone density decreases with it. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in helping control and maintain bone density as it is essential for synthesizing and processing osteocalcin, a necessary protein for maintaining bone strength. Together with calcium and Vitamin D, Vitamin K is critical to supporting bone health.*
It is known that riboflavin is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It reduces the presence of certain proteins that are responsible for inflammation. It's loaded with antioxidants that prevent the damage of cells as you age into the transition through menopause.*
Vitamin B6 may help keep menopausal mood swings under control. It helps produce serotonin in the brain, a calming neurotransmitter that aids in stabilizing your mood while potentially reducing depression and irritability. It is a natural support supplement for mood swings, brain health, irritability, fatigue, hot flashes, and anxiety.*
Methylfolate is a B vitamin that is important for tissue growth and cellular function, helping maintain the integrity of your hair, skin, and nails as you age. Also, energy production and healthy body functions like those of your thyroid, nervous, and adrenal functions are all dependent on methylation. Along with a healthy supply of vitamins folate, B6, B12, magnesium, and zinc, it can aid in the methylation processes that can result in higher levels of energy.*
Vitamin B 12 is a crucial B vitamin, vital for the synthesis of red blood cells in the human body. We cannot live without oxygen, and red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, thus maintaining our health. The human body produces millions of red blood cells per minute and cannot properly multiply without vitamin B-12. Deficiencies can result in permanent damage to both the brain and the nervous system.*
Zinc has an abundance of anti-aging effects for menopausal women. It stimulates the antioxidant and immune defenses in the body to fight against aging and age-related diseases. Zinc also has a host of health benefits. Because of the reduction of estrogen and progesterone in postmenopausal women, their immunities could be compromised more frequently. Fortunately, zinc aids in defending the body against viruses and bacteria, increasing effective immune responses.*
Benfotiamine helps in the reduction of damage from free radicals, while also protecting our bodies from the consequences of high sugar intake. Benfotiamine has also been shown to have positive effects on those with blood glucose control issues. It helps reduce unfavorable glucose metabolites and other cellular activity involved in microvascular damage in the body.*
Every woman deserves to find her inner goddess!
