Scientific research has shown that women in communities who consume high levels of legumes containing isoflavones manage menopause with few symptoms. Asian, Mediterranean and Latin American communities consume on average 30-50 mg of isoflavones each day. These communities enjoy many health benefits when compared to typical 'western' communities. Australians and New Zealanders generally consume only 2-5 mg of isoflavones daily. Isoflavones are effective in relieving symptoms of menopause including hot flushes, maintaining well being and quality of life.
Red clover has a high isoflavone concentration compared to other plants.
Red clover contains the 4 important dietary isoflavones that are present in typical diets of Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean communities. Promensil has been developed to supplement our diet by closely mimicking the isoflavone intake of these communities. Foodstuffs such as soy contain lower concentrations and only 2 of the 4 important dietary isoflavones. Promensil is standardised to contain 40 mg of isoflavones in each single daily tablet. Trials have confirmed that one tablet per day is the appropriate daily dose for most woman.
