ERr713® at 4 mg/day is clinically proven to reduce 8 key symptoms of menopause.1 A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12-week clinical trials highlights multiple benefits and safety of ERr713® to improve the quality of life in menopausal women.
ERr731® balances oestrogen activity. Oestrogen receptors (ER), especially alpha (ER?) and beta (ER?) are widely distributed throughout the body. ER activation initiates many of the important biological actions of oestrogen such as regulating reproductive function, supporting healthy mood, and maintaining skin health. However, excessive ER? activation enables cell proliferation and inflammation, especially in oestrogen-sensitive tissues such as the breast and uterus.5,6 In contrast, activation of ER? promotes anti-inflammatory processes and down regulates ERa receptor expression to balance these effects.7
ERr731® selectively targets ER? to alleviate menopausal symptoms.8 Active constituents, primarily rhaponticin, extracted in ERr731® selectively bind to and activate ER?, without activating ER?.9 This high affinity with ER? is linked to reducing menopausal symptoms without potential side effects.10
Short-and long-term safety and efficacy of ERr731®.2,4 A comprehensive multi-centre trial has demonstrated both short- and long-term benefits of ERr731® supplementation. Initially, a 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 109 women found that 4 mg/day of ERr731® significantly reduced (p<0.0001) the number and severity of hot flushes from 4 weeks. By 12 weeks, overall reductions (p<0.0001) in sleep disturbances, irritability, joint and muscle complaints, low libido, vaginal dryness and fatigue, improved quality of life, with high patient satisfaction.
