Hormone Replacement Therapy Research

Research on a Recent Breakthrough in Hot Flash Relief


Hormone Replacement Therapy

I

INTRODUCTION

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT),medicaltreatment that relieves symptoms experienced by some women during and after menopause. Menopause is the cessation of menstrual periods marking the end of a woman's ability to reproduce, and it is characterized by significant hormonal changes in a woman's body. One such change is a drop in the level of estrogen, a hormone primarily related to reproduction, which causes some women to experience unpleasant symptoms, including hot flashes, vaginal dryness, irritability, and depression. HRT partially restores the estrogen balance in a woman's body to lessen or eliminate these symptoms. HRT can alleviate symptoms not only in mature women experiencing natural menopause, but also in younger women who may be facing premature menopause for medical reasons, such as when cancer or other disorders cause the ovaries to stop producing estrogen.

In addition to lessening symptoms associated with menopause, HRT was long thought to offer many health benefits and even protection from certain diseases, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and stroke. Ongoing medical studies, however, have demonstrated that long-term use of HRT is not always beneficial, and that in some instances it may actually raise the likelihood of cancer, heart attack, and other diseases. Thus the choice of whether or not to undergo HRT means weighing the potential benefits of relieving menopausal symptoms against a possible increased risk for disease.

HORMONAL CYCLE

Starting with puberty and continuing for the next three or four decades, a woman's body undergoes a regular cycle of hormonal fluctuations that signals her capacity to conceive and bear children. Estrogen and another hormone, progesterone, are secreted by the ovaries during ovulation, the monthly process in which an egg is released from the ovaries and prepared for possible fertilization with a man's sperm. Estrogen and, in turn, progesterone, affect the tissues lining the vagina and uterus, creating conditions more favorable for an egg to be fertilized. If pregnancy does not occur, part of the endometrium (uterine lining) is discarded through the vagina during menstruation. In addition to its role in reproduction, estrogen circulates in the bloodstream, affecting other parts of the body, including the brain, blood vessels, bone, and fat cells.

At menopause, which most women experience in their late 40s or early 50s, the ovaries gradually stop producing estrogen, causing a reduction of estrogen levels in the blood. Over the course of a few years, this estrogen decline produces changes in various body tissues, including the vagina, vulva, uterus, bladder, urethra, breasts, bones, heart, blood vessels, and brain.

In some women, these changes trigger unpleasant side effects. Common symptoms associated with menopause include hot flashes. These episodes, which may last several minutes, bring sudden, intense feelings of warmth in the face and upper body, with accompanying perspiration and flushed skin. Heart palpitations and feelings of suffocation can also occur. Hot flashes result from loss of estrogen in the hormone-signaling system located in the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus, near the area that regulates body temperature.

Another symptom of menopause that affects some women involves changes in the lining and elasticity of the vagina. The vagina may shrink and become prone to dryness, leading to pain during sexual intercourse. A number of emotional and psychological changes occur during menopause that, in some women, cause chronic sleep deprivation, a loss of interest in sex, memory lapses, mood swings, and depression.

TYPES OF HRT

For women who elect to undergo it, HRT can take different forms. Some women take estrogen alone, usually those who have undergone a hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus and sometimes ovaries). Assorted varieties and dosages of estrogen can be administered in the form of a daily pill or tablet. One widely used type of estrogen is a pill containing conjugated estrogens, a mixture of several forms of estrogen taken from the urine of pregnant horses. Estrogen also can be administered as a transdermal patch stuck to the skin and replaced every few days; the patch continuously releases estrogen into the bloodstream.

Some women experience side effects from taking estrogen, including headaches, and swelling and tenderness of the breasts. Women with an intact uterus who take estrogen are also more likely to develop benign uterine growths called fibroids.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, when estrogen therapy was first widely given to menopausal women, doctors noted an alarming increase in cases of cancer of the endometrium. Prescriptions for estrogen fell dramatically, until researchers combined progesterone with estrogen. Progesterone, as part of a woman's natural cycle, counteracts estrogen's effect on the endometrium.

Today doctors commonly prescribe a type of HRT that combines estrogen and a synthetic form of progesterone, known as progestin. The two hormones may be administered in a sequential series, with estrogen given daily and progestin added for about 12 days each month. Estrogen and progestin treatments are also commonly given in the form of a combined pill taken daily. About 90 percent of women with an intact uterus continue to menstruate while undergoing combined estrogen and progestin therapy; some women think that this is too much of a drawback and prefer not to take HRT because of it.

IV

BENEFITS OF HRT

HRT can lessen or halt some of the most bothersome short-term symptoms of menopause. Hot flashes may lessen within 24 hours of starting HRT, and can disappear within a few weeks of continued treatment. Increased levels of estrogen via HRT also relieve vaginal dryness. A locally applied cream containing estrogen can also treat the symptom.

In addition to relieving the relatively short-term symptoms of menopause, HRT has also been observed to offer some long-term health benefits. HRT offers benefits against osteoporosis. Estrogen blocks the actions of parathyroid hormone and other hormones that decrease the level of calcium in the blood. These hormones, produced by the parathyroid gland, cause bones to become porous and less dense. HRT restores estrogen levels, thereby halting the loss of calcium from bones and preventing hip fractures and other consequences of osteoporosis. Studies have also indicated that HRT is beneficial in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer.

V

HRT RISKS

For many years, studies seemed to indicate that postmenopausal women treated with estrogen had lower incidences of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular disorders. In many instances, HRT was actually prescribed for older women to help protect cardiovascular health. However, many scientists questioned the studies indicating a link between estrogen and cardiac health. One criticism was that women who elected to undergo estrogen therapy tended to be younger and already living a health-conscious lifestyle, with regular doctor visits and proper diet and exercise—factors that in and of themselves could have explained the cardiovascular benefits credited to estrogen.

In 2002 a United States government-sponsored research program called the Women's Health Initiative reported on a five-year trial involving more than 16,000 menopausal women, some of whom took a combination of estrogen and progestin, while the others received a placebo pill. Results indicated that there was no cardiovascular benefit from HRT. In fact, rates of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots in the lungs and legs were actually higher in women taking the hormone supplements than in those taking placebo pills. A subsequent report from the Women's Health Initiative published in 2003 found that HRT nearly doubles a woman's risk of having a heart attack during her first year of treatment.

Similarly, studies have also produced troubling results on the link between HRT and cancer. During the 1990s, research indicated a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer in women who had been on HRT regimens for more than five years. More definitive results emerged in the 2002 report from the Women's Health Initiative. Officials in charge of the clinical trial studying the effects of combined estrogen and progestin therapy stopped the study two years before the scheduled completion date after discovering that breast cancer rates were notably higher among those on HRT. Other studies indicated that HRT involving estrogen and progestin apparently raised the incidence of breast cancer and, by changing the character of breast tissue, actually made cancers harder to detect via a mammogram. And in a study of 1 million British women published in 2003, those who took combined estrogen and progestin therapy for five years or more had a 66 percent increased risk of developing breast cancer. For those taking only estrogen, the increased risk of developing breast cancer was 30 percent.

Other research has cast further doubts on the supposed benefits of HRT. Scientists had hoped, for example, that HRT might benefit the brains of menopausal women, protecting them from the effects of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. A 2003 study of women over 65 undergoing HRT, however, indicated a higher incidence of Alzheimer's.

Clearly women who are at risk for heart disease or breast cancer should avoid the long-term use of HRT or should undertake it under very close supervision by medical specialists. But for all women, determining the benefits and risks of HRT is a complex matter, particularly as the results of past medical studies can seemingly be contradicted overnight by new medical findings.

nivea Q10 Rejuvenation

by Joan Gruber from on 2010-04-28
Good product...have bought from stores before, but hard to obtain now. Bought 6 tubes from seller, but expiration date is 05-31-10 on all of the tubes. So now I'm outta luck, maybe will use 1 tube. The active ingredients in this product will expire, so seller, pay attention to your expiration dates. Expired chemicals have the potential to break down and become possibly toxic. I will throw out most of my order (5 tubes).

Awesome stuff!

by Kari A. from Georgia on 2010-02-20
It's been colder than usual and my lips have been horribly chapped this winter. I have tried all sorts of lip balms and Vaseline products, all of which help temporarily but have to be reapplied constantly to see any benefit.I picked up this Nivea product when I saw it on clearance. I am hooked! My lips were smoother after the very first use. It is very soothing and healing. Definitely worth the money!

Glad I found it!

by mk from florida on 2009-10-02
Love this product and was so happy to find it on Amazon. It is a little more expensive than when I have found it in retail stores, but it is hard to find and worth the extra money.

Still feel the effects hours later

by Annalissa Nelson from Denver, CO on 2009-06-03
Like most women I love to put stuff on my lips that will make them smooth and my mouth feel fresh. I will use several different kinds of Chap Stick, lip tints, and balms throughout the day depending on what I have at hand but this one is quickly phasing out the rest.Typically a chap stick will eventually dry out my lips leading me to use more and more. There are some that cause that less than others and feel good when they go on like Burt's Bees (my #1 for a long time) but it always felt like something was lacking, like it was only a mask on my lips and not really improving them.When I use this product it feels great going on and it lasts for a really long time. When I no longer feel the balm on my lips I still feel the effects of it. My lips are softer without any hint of dry skin or cracks. This is the cumulative effect of using this stuff once or twice a day for about three weeks. I feel like it is actually conditioning my lips not just covering them up for a couple of hours.

Divine

by Basbenee from USA on 2008-10-30
The packaging touts a number of benefits: anti-aging, a hint of rejuvenation, etc. OK, sounds good. But what's even better is the way this stuff feels. It's like a little dab of heaven on the lips: very silky and smooth and soothing. Any ooh and aaahhh words apply. I love it alone or underneath lipstick.

A Miracle Serum

by SarahLynne from Northeast, USA on 2010-05-28
I'm 52 and do not have any wrinkles except one forehead vertical furrow. I consistently use SPF and moisturize. However, being very fair, I've suffered with Rosacea for 20 years. I've used foundation to disguise the redness and cover spider veins. After one week or so use of the Jason C serum (during the day and every other night), my face is clear and light and the spider veins are barely noticeable. I am not wearing foundation or concealer - just a little blush and lip gloss. Metrogel did nothing for me. And you can't continue on Doxycyline forever. I was really considering laser therapy or saline for the veins. I'm about to pinch myself because this seems like a dream.I had two small age spots on my face (probably from Depo-Provera) that disappeared in two days. In two days, my skin was glowing again as well.I keep the serum in it's cardboard box because light will oxidize the serum. I don't know why the serum doesn't come in an opaque or dark bottle. This is my only complaint. I also use the Jason Hyper-C Eyelift Serum. And I use Afirm 3X every other night (Afirm 3X is a potent retinol).I didn't think I'd be able to go without foundation again. My face is glowing and clear like it was in my 20's.I enjoy the fresh orange fragrance as well.

The "Very Best" for less!

by Em Granosky from Orange County Ca on 2010-02-07
Jason's Natural Cosmetics i.e. products for women's faces contain all the ingredients that dermotologists recommend. I have been using these products for over a year and am pleased with their skin performance. One great aspect of these products is that they contain vitamins that actually work. One difficulty is finding all of their products, although, besides Amazon, I have been able to find some at WalGreens. Most stores highlight the most expensive and these are very affordable so look at lower shelves.

Compared to Physician serum

by Mary D. Alton from San Diego CA USA on 2009-09-25
I tried to compare this to products purchased at my former plastic surgeon's office. The serum is almost as good but I do not know how powerful the Vitamin C is compared to the more costly one from the MD's. It is nice smelling like oranges and comes in a nice pump bottle. I think this would be fine until I can afford the MD visit & his products.

A terrific skin product

by S. Downes from East Coast on 2008-11-03
Jason Natural Cosmetics - Hyper-C Serum, 1 fl oz I have used this product for 10 years and I would not start my day without it. I am now 67 years old and my skin looks great. My only cosmetics are mascara and lipstick.

Good

by Y. KIM from california on 2006-08-14
The first time I used, I didn't like the smell but day by day I was getting used with this orange-concentrated scent.This serum is very concentrated. I use it mixing with other liquid essence. It makes me keep my skin moisturized all night long.I recommend it for people like me, with dry skin. Not recommended for oily-skin.

Reviews

Nice Idea, but...didnt do anything for me.

by D. Ross from California on 2010-07-23
I purchased this product with high hopes after reading what LED therapy can do. After extensive research, this product seemed to meet all the expectations in LED strength, had the blue AND the red, able to do a large area at one time vs. a small area, and seemed reasonably priced compared to the others LEDs out there. I do admit, it is a very basic product and not too impressive to look at. It is simply a board with 225 LEDs on it, and an easel stand it lays on. I am a 42 yr old caucasian redhead with lots of freckles and a little on the red or pink side in skin tone. I have not wrinkled yet. I was hoping for a more unified overall look, or simply more fading in my freckles and overall even skin tone with less pinkness. Also, according to the Habadirect website, I was hoping to see some improvement in some old minor/mild acne scars. I used this product faithfully for 35 days, 15 minutes each like the directions said. Sorry, I didn't notice any difference. No one else I know has noticed any difference either. I wished I did see a difference. It has a 90 day warranty, but it is a lot of effort doing the 15 min everyday, and with no results after 35 days, so I dediced to return it for a full refund instead.

OUTSTANDING

by Nicole M. Dimonda from on 2010-03-21
I love this product. It is a wonderful tool to help with wrinkles, and a wonderful tool to encourage every individual to take time to care for themselves. I look forward to my 15 minutes of care every day. I definitely recommend using this for wrinkles as you WILL notice a difference, and yes the more you use it, the better it works. Don't con yourself into thinking well I can just use it once in a while and it will work. This light therapy should ABSOLUTELY be part of your daily skin regiment because you love taking care of your skin. Would you walk outside without moisturizer? Probably not if you are properly caring for the skin you love!!! It should never be thought of as an extra task because you allow yourself to relax as you engage in your light therapy. Oh and it really has helped with my acne as well. Even at 40 I get breakouts on the jaw line area because of hormone chnges. The light therapy has really made a difference. ENJOY!!!!

Terrific Anti-aging & Acne Therapy Light

by Product Tester from Chalmette, Louisiana on 2010-03-10
I like this product because it has an effective lighting system. The red lights are in an effective range of 650nm. If it were any higher in strength, it could cause hair loss. 800 nm is for hair removal with a needle in the hair follicle. "The 650nm (nanometer) wave lengths heal and make your skin look younger by encouraging the production of natural collagen, which helps the skin to repair itself. The blue lights minimize blemishes. The blue lights have 470nm wave length." Furthermore, it is easy and comfortable to use. Just turn it on. Then, just sit and relax while listening to some enjoyable music.

Didn't work for me.

by Jane Doe from on 2009-12-03
I used the lamp for 30 days. Sometimes I kept it on for 15 min, sometimes for 20 minutes. Unfortunately I didn't see any improvements for my acne and I have to return it since it's within the 30 day period so I can have my money back.

good for the money & time

by Victor Reh from on 2009-08-26
I just received this unit. I also own a $350 Baby Quasar light therapy hand-held. Both have advantages over the other: This square unit: not so impressive to look at, doesn't have a timer (BQ does + 3 settings), intensity of lights looks low (may be just my view), and nM range is not wide like the Baby Quasar. This square unit comes with a cheap stand, and 4 mounting holes. (compare: the BQ unit looks quite impressive.)But this square unit has the GREAT advantage of doing a wide surface area (whereas the BQ has a 1.3" head). And this unit costs much less than BQ. I have seen great improvement of my Rosacea with the BQ, (But BQ requires great effort and time to use: due to the small head, it takes 36 minutes just to do the face). There seems a better chance that one could 'stick to' this broad-covering 15 minute light therapy treatment than with the BQ. Besides, the flat screen makes the light closest to the nose & cheeks, which tend to be the worse acne and Rosacea spots. I intend to use this square unit for my body & hands. I can't rate this unit's effectiveness yet.

Very disapointed

by Brandon Wise from on 2010-07-15
I had high hopes with this product after reading the reviews but saw that it was just one of those internet scams. It gave none of the results that they advertiesed. I have used better resveratrol than this. I tried to get my money back and they wouldnt do it so I am screwed.

???

by A. Sharpe from fox river grove, il on 2010-05-26
Does anyone know what the difference between this and the bio-forte transmax that costs $14.00 less. Both say they are 500 mg of trans resveratrol and 60 count bottle

Helps me to focus!

by E. Chew from on 2010-05-06
I am 60 yr old female back in school to retrain for the job market. Before taking TRANSMAX~500mg, I had difficulties juggling all the immunology, math, chemistry, etc classes. TRANSMAX has definitely helped me to focus and ace those classes. Also, my joints are not so stiff. But it has not helped my husband. So, I suppose that its effects may vary from person to person.

Placebo's Are Just As Good and Much Less Expensive

by Stephen E. Joltin from MD USA on 2010-04-11
I have been taking Biotivia Transmax 500 mg for 4 months plus now. I have not missed a day. I feel no different at all, not more youthfull, not more youthfull looking, not more energetic, my arthritis feels no deifferent, no change at all. At about $60 per bottle of 60, I have spent $240. I do not understand other peoples reviews, probably the placebo effect. Therefore, a placebo at 1/240th the cost might be your best bet. "There is a sucker born every minute", J. C. Fields. Don't be one of them.

Resveratrol 500 mg

by Wanda L. Crowder from Tacoma, WA on 2010-03-23
This is an excellent brand of resveratrol. I, only, take one a day, but I, strongly, suggest taking 500 mg. I believe that it has been the chief deterrent for the herpes on my neck. I have been taking it for over a year, and I haven't had an out-break since I started. That is wonderful!!!

product and packaging...

by A. Kang from Glendale, CA on 2009-03-25
So if you look through the reviews for most of the menscience stuff you realize that all these posts are from the same people and all they have reviewed on amazon is menscience. Okay, menscience, if you're going to put fake reviews at least vary it up a bit and try to hide it.Anyway, I actually used this product along with other Menscience products. I actually went through 2 bottles of this stuff and it's not cheap. Overall, it's just okay, I really didn't see much of a difference. But to be fair, I've been using Lab Series and Anthony products for the past 10 years or more, so my skin is probably in good shape. I used this product once in the morning and night, just one squirt per time, it lasted me a month at the most and one pump is very little, I had to spread it very thin. I went back to Lab Series Age Rescue because it was cheaper and one pump of that is enough for my face and it lasts longer. I don't notice a difference between the two but like I said, I take care of my skin.

Pretty Good

Most of the reviews on here are fake. However I did actually purchase this product and its pretty good. Smooth's skin surface a little bit. Its not too shiny.

Good deal on great ingredients

by JasonEx from San Diego on 2007-03-06
While usually skeptical about anti-aging products, I have to say that this really helped smoothe my skin and improved the tone. Looking at all of the products available to women, it's pretty crazy to see the prices they charge for ingredients that Anti-Aging Formula has.

Idebenone for $58 is almost free!!!

by A. L. Fonticoba from on 2007-02-18
I had been using Prevage that retails for a lot more than $58 and the results were not incredible. I realized that the MenScience Anti-Aging Formula not only contains the same % of Idebenone but it also has other proven igredients like Gaba and Peptides so I gave it a shot. Well... although I still have wrinkels -I need plastic surgery to get them removed - my skin feels awesome and the fine lines that I had around my eye area have significantly diminished! I'm exfoliating my skin twice a week with the Microfine Face Scrub and that helps too.

Description

Our product is Paraben-Free and contains pharmaceutical grade micronized Dehydroepaindrosterone (DHEA) Boost Mood and Over-All Well Being. - Superior Transdermal Delivery. Like other anti-aging hormones, DHEA is produced by the body in abundant supplies during our youth, reaching its peak between the ages of 20 to 25, then decreasing to much lower levels later in life. During the prime of life, men produce approximately 31 mg of DHEA daily and women produce about 19 mg daily. At forty-five we produce about half this amount and at sixty-five, our DHEA levels are down to about 10 to 20 percent of their peak levels. Many scientists believe that the decline in key hormones like DHEA is responsible for much of the mental and physical decline we associate with normal aging. We can age gracefully with DHEA.DHEA is a natural hormone produced in the brain, adrenal glands and the skin. Like other anti-aging hormones, DHEA is produced by the body in abundant supplies during our youth, reaching its peak between the ages of 20 to 25, then drooping to much lower levels later in life. During the prime of life, men produce approximately 31 mg of DHEA daily and women produce about 19 mg daily.

Many scientists believe that the decline in key hormones like DHEA is responsibly for much of the mental and physical decline we associate with normal aging. These same scientists suggest boosting DHEA levels may prevent and/or delay some of these problems. According to DHEA pioneer researcher Dr. Samuel Yen, DHEA is a supplement that may help people age gracefully.

Lost an inch in my waist in the first week

by TravelAsh from on 2010-07-16
I am 32 years old, female - When I gain weight, it tends to store in my stomach/midsection - I had put on weight for a number or reasons a few months back, when I came across reviews for Vimulti - I researched its ingredients and decided to try it in order to lose weight specifically targeting my abdomen. After one week of healthy eating and excersize, my normal routine, I noticed several positive changes in how I felt and looked. To be brutally honest, I was hopeful, but very skeptical - To my surprise, my waist lost 1 inch and I felt increased energy after 1 week of daily use. I don't know if the positive results had any correlation with my mood, but I felt more positive and energetic. I recommend this supplement for anyone wanting a natural aid in weightloss - I never felt gittery or anxious (My immune system is extremely sensitive, I feel side effects from vitamins).

Made me sick

by Michael D. Fox from Utah on 2010-07-08
I feel a million times better! Not because I took these pills, but because I just had to make myself barf! These pills made me sick to my stomach. I still feel a little queasy even after throwing up. I wanted a supplement that could help me with my energy levels. I don't know how they got such good reviews. I took these for a month and when I first started taking them i felt fine, no sickness, but as time went by my body decided to reject it. I didn't experience any weight loss, mood or increased energy levels. Please do not waste your money!

3 out of 6 isn't too bad. . .

by cnlk from Clarksville, MD USA on 2010-07-03
I've been taking the this supplement and it's true. I have more energy (take in the am!! or you won't get to sleep) without the jitters. I noticed a decrease in my appetite, but haven't lost any weight--however, I haven't been trying. I do have more energy (too bad it the pills can't give me more time!!). I find that my mood is better too. I'm only giving 4 stars because I still have a belly and bad skin.

Must Buy

by Alberto Ruiz from Florida, USA on 2010-03-20
These guys are based out of SouthBeach and sell this stuff for $70+ locally. It is the biggest thing on SouthBeach but I refused to spend $70 bucks to see if it was really effective. Glad Amazon has special pricing as this products works. I must say it takes time but I have lost fat, built muscle and feel sexually recharged. At first it did have a laxative effect but I have heard it is attributed to the cleansing properties. Expensive stuff but worth it

Finally something that really works

by Trader89113 from Las Vegas USA on 2010-02-25
Having tried so many different supplements, it is really a pleasure to finally find a product that is very effective and reasonably priced. I have only been using it for 2 months but my weight loss is over 15lbs, and I have increased energy and vitality. I am definitely going to stay on this one for a while.
