Herbal Estrogens FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are “Herbal Estrogens”?
Herbs are a common item in our diet. We know that the Oregano and Basil in our Spaghetti sauce are herbs; we know that various herbs and spices have been highly valued for centuries as a means to make our foods taste better, and we also know that many herbs have centuries-old traditions as healing agents.
Many common medications in our modern society have various herbs as their base ingrediants. Spinach is an herb, which is known to increase energy in most people, by adding iron and other important energy-building nutrients to our bodies. The old wives tale about carrots being good for eye-sight is true; the beta carotene in carrots and other yellow vegatables/herbs is very beneficial to eye-sight! We use herb-based teas to pick us up, or to settle us down; most of us consume huge amounts of an herbal beverage called coffee, or get our caffienne stimulation from herbs used in many soda pop mixtures.
And there is a whole class of herbs known to be high in estrogenic compounds, called phyto-estrogens. or phyto-estrols.
But I have heard that phyto-estrogens are dangerous…
It is important to understand that there are two very different substances today which have received the label “phyto-estrogen”.
One of these substances is more accurately called psuedo-estrogen, or more commonly in the 21st century these are called “xeno-estrogens“.
These estrogen mimics are found in chemical and environmental pollution, and have been linked to various birth defects because of their semi-ability to mimic the estrogen hormone, and to thereby interfere with cellular functioning.
Xeno-estrogens — are the molecules that do the “weak-bonding, estrogen receptor interference” thing.
Phyto-estrogens — phyto-estrols — on the other hand, are a wonderous medical discovery for all of us…
What is Evanesce?
Through the centuries it has been found that some herbs synergistically increase the effectiveness of other herbs.
Evanesce is formulated from extracts of phyto-estrols — bio-molecular extracts of the most potent parts of the most potent phyto-estrogenic plants and berries — which are then concentrated and mixed in ratios which research has determined to bring the greatest synergistic boost to each of the substances used.
The formulation which is Evanesce, is designed to enhance the effectiveness of each of the most potent phyto-estrols.
The herbs which are chosen and used for the basis of Evanesce have been used by people in cultures around the world for centuries and millenia, for maintaining physical and emotional health.
How do these herbs work?
According to Susun Weed in her book Menopausal Years, “Using plants rich in phyto-estrols is remarkably different from taking hormones, even natural ones … Phyto-estrols provide hormonal building blocks, rather than hormones themselves, thus allowing [your body] to create the precise amounts (and combinations) of hormones needed on your unique … journey. When using phytoestrol-rich herbs, your body does not have to eliminate excess hormones or know exactly what dose to take. With a smorgasbord of choices, the body … can create the hormones [it] needs from the building blocks supplied by the plant.
“This process removes the ’stress of eliminating excess estrogen’ from the kidneys and liver”, says Weed.
Can’t I just buy these herbs off the shelf, from local health food stores, etc.?
On an individual basis, sure!
HOWEVER, as anyone from the “marijuana generations” knows, there is a significant variation in the potency and purity of any/all herbs grown for ingestion.
State-of-the-art herbal processing facilities now have the ability to separate the “good stuff” in herbs and berries from the basic plant material, which allows large amounts of the “good stuff” to be concentrated into small capsules.
These processes also keep the potency and purity consistant from batch to batch throughout the year.
What this means to you is that with a well-manufactured formulation such as these, you do not have to consume mega-doses of herbs trying to get their benefits.
How do Evanesce and Feminol compare with other similar herbal products?
There are no standards for measuring or comparing herbal things. There are no restrictions on a company using powdered twigs, bark, stems, etc., in their herbal products. One company’s 500mg herbal product may actually have far less of the “good stuff” than another company’s 25mg herbal product. Therefore, comparing milligrams of herbs on bottle labels is a meaningless exercise; you need the “good stuff” — the bio-molecules of the active ingredients of the best estrogenic plants, and not just the plant material, to get the desired results.
How do these compare to Premarin and other prescription drugs?
They do not compare.
Premarin is a drug manufactured from PREgnant MARe uRINe, which was developed to force a specified amount of estrogen into the human body, whether that human body can handle that much estrogen or not.
Other prescription estrogen drugs also do the same job; the various forms are designed to try to avoid problems with metabolism, etc.
Once in the blood-stream, estrogen is estrogen is estrogen, regardless of its initial form (herb or drug) into your body.
How quickly will my symptoms be reduced or eliminated?
In most cases, relief will happen within the first few days, if not overnight.
In a few rare cases, it may take 7-10 days for the full reduction of symptoms.
For some women, relief may also require minimum changes in diet factors; food, and beverage intake.
Caffienne, nicotine, alcohol, refined sugars, and in some people even salt will each and all combine to block the formation and utilization of estrogen. This is why many women crave chocolate during their “high estrogen” time of each month; their bodies know that chocolate will help hold the estrogen levels down.
Also, extreme lifestyle stress can reduce estrogen levels; although research is showing that supplemental estrogen plus certain natural vitamins can help to reduce the body’s bad reactions to stress….
What about personal — health — safety?
According to many herbal books, the specific herbs used in Evanesce have no history of creating health problems in the human body. It is important to note, however, that some humans have allergies to specific foods. While we have no feedback indicating problems, you should be aware, and check with your doctor if you experience any problems with any supplemental hormone programs.
What is the recommended dosage for Evanesce? And, how many capsules per bottle?
Evanesce is packaged in 90 capsule bottles. The formulator recommends initial Evanesce usage at 1-3 capsules daily. Your body will dictate usage requirements, after an initial period
Each human body will respond differently, and you will need to find what works best for your own unique body.
How does Evanesce compare to Premarin, for results?
The bio-molecules in Evanesce will become the hormones the body needs to function properly. The drug hormones in Premarin can overpower the body, and potentially overpower and hurt the kidneys and liver. Some applications of Premarin require the patient to have frequent kidney and liver function testing; although most women are never given this safety testing.
Are there any other known beneficial side effects?
There are no promises, of course — and certainly there are no claims. Many people report that Evanesce calms the obsessive-compulsive/ depressive emotions quickly–in many cases overnight!
Are there any negative effects of Evanesce which would appear on a Drug Test that I need to be aware of?
There are no drugs in Evanesce, so there are no drug residuals for a drug test to identify. Many thousands of people using Evanesce since 1990, have passed multiple drug tests without problem.
How are these products shipped? I am very concerned about confidentiality…
Orders are shipped in very plain white or tan boxes or bubble-pack envelopes, or postal mailing boxes, with very plain white mailing labels. There are no logos, no pictures; nothing extra.
What is the average shipping time until I receive my order? What shipper do you use?
We use the US Postal Service, because many people have post office box shipping addresses for personal confidentiality. Neither FedEx nor UPS, nor any other private carrier can deliver to a post office box. Orders of 1-3 bottles are shipped First Class, with average delivery times of 3-4 days. Orders of 4 or more bottles are shipped Priority First Class, with average shipping times of 2-3 days.
Tell me about ordering on the Internet – what about my credit card security?
In a restaurant, most people think nothing of giving their card to a kid who disappears around a corner with it; this is potentially far more “insecure” than any electronic transfer over the Internet.
