Hormone Helper is one of McNab’s best-loved products. It contains a mix of herbs, garnered from all over the world, that are rich in phyto-oestrogens and well known for their role in alleviating menopause and menstrual symptoms.
Hormone Helper assists with menopause, hot flashes, water retention, osteoporosis, PMS, low iron, period pains and mood swings.
The move away from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Since HRT, using synthetic hormones, is no longer routinely recommended to treat menopause symptoms because of a small increased risk of breast and uterine cancer, stroke and heart disease, many women have turned to herbal treatments.
Menopause explained
Oestrogen is the hormone that is responsible for a woman’s fertility and her secondary sex characteristics (such as plump breasts, rounded hips, a moist lubricated vagina, a soft voice and a lustrous head of hair). It also decreases the rate of age-associated bone loss and keeps cholesterol levels down.
However, oestrogen production declines with age, tapering off rather dramatically around 50 years of age and precipitating the menopause. This natural condition is characterised by one or more of the following symptoms:
- Hot flashes
- Thinning of the vaginal lining leading to dryness and painful sexual intercourse
- Insomnia
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Forgetfulness
- Mood swings
- Weight gain
- Copious sweating
- Headaches
- Hair loss
- Muscular pains
In addition, bone loss accelerates, and cholesterol levels rise increasing the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

How often should I take Hormone Helper?
One tablet of Hormone Helper should be taken on a daily basis for best results. We also recommend regularly including soya-based products in your diet and adding 2-3 tablespoons of freshly ground linseed to your breakfast cereal or smoothie. These plant foods will help to boost your intake of phyto-oestrogens.
