Menopause and Weight Loss Products, Estrin D
Written by Ricardo d Argence on February 28th, 2009Menopause may be a natural stage in a woman’s life but the accompanying weight gain has all women worried. Weight gain is not just bad for cosmetic reasons but also unhealthy too.
The latest researches have established that the risks related to high blood pressure increase by at least five percent per two pounds increase in the weight! The decreasing estrogen levels also cause a decrease in the metabolism, which causes the body to hang on to its fat resources more tenaciously.
This weight-adding reacts on other health issues too. Weight gain caused by menopause has been linked to an increase in the risk of heart disease, a variety of cancers and type II diabetes.
The modern science with help of pharmacy industry has made a product, which helps women with menopausal weight loss problems. Since menopauses increases a womans appetite, the claim is that using these weight loss products may help regulate your metabolism. They also state that they can aid women in handling menopausal symptoms as well as protecting them with nutrients.
Estrin is one of the new players in the market of menopausal weight loss products. It claims to have ingredients like caffeine, guarana, yerba, matte and herbal constituents like damiana, ginger, schisandra and Tibetan ginseng. These ingredients are said to help in regulating appetite, increasing metabolism and reduce mood swings, which result from fluctuations in hormonal levels. They are all known to increase the basal metabolic rate in a person. The caffeine present in the product is a natural stimulant as well. However, the question that arises is that can this be used by women undergoing menopause?
Consuming caffeine during menopause has negative consequences, according to medical studies. Caffeine in normal circumstances can cause an increase in the heart rate, increase blood pressure, sweating. There is evidence that caffeine consumption may have a negative effect on menopausal women. Consuming caffeine might greatly worsen classic menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, insomnia, and hot flashes. During menopause it is important to limit caffeine consumption as it has been linked to osteoporosis.
According to the reviews by users this product has a high quantity of stimulants, which are not medically recommended for women with menopausal problems. These stimulants may cause nausea, anxiety and jitters in women. Besides, stimulants do not guarantee sustained weight loss. Also there seems to be no appetite suppressant in the formula. Caffeine does not guarantee fat loss as compared to a patented fat burner. Moreover, the company does not offer a money back guarantee and the product is pretty high priced.
Instead of relying on these supplements, proper diet and exercise can be the solution to menopause problems. Frequent exercise and the elimination of fatty and/or fried foods from your diet is all you need.
