Is Menopause causing you some misery?
You may be used to hearing about athletes and weightlifters using protein to enhance their performance. Now here's another application of protein: reducing menopause symptoms.
Menopausal women taking BioBuilde (an amino acid protein supplement) have found it gives them more energy, reduces their night sweats, and helps them sleep better through the night.
About 4,000 women enter menopause every day, according to the North American Menopause Society. This means more than 1.3 million new women enter menopause yearly, experiencing the miserable symptoms of menopause for the first time: hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, thinning hair, brittle nails, and more.
Synthetic hormone drugs took a dive in popularity after the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study debunked their safety, finding they significantly increased the risk of strokes and cancer. Now many women are seeking more natural alternatives.
Luba H., a 54-year-old office worker in Clearwater, says, "Ever since I started taking BioBuilde, I've had the energy that I had back when I was a teenager. I now sleep much deeper and longer. Before, I would toss and turn every night and would wake up at least four or five times. Now I wake up feeling rested and ready for a new day."
Luba is one of many menopausal women finding that BioBuilde helps lessen the symptoms of menopause.
Why does BioBuilde (specifically protein) play such a major role in balancing hormones? Simple: Many menopausal women have low levels of protein.
As women enter middle age, they lose nearly half of the hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. This loss is due to natural aging and the fact that many people take prescription or over-the-counter medications -- such as Mylanta, Pepcid, Zantac, Prilosec, and Nexium, etc. -- to block stomach acid. But this stomach acid is necessary to activate the digestive enzymes needed to break down protein!
So even if you eat plenty of meat, fish and eggs, it may not be getting to your cells because it never gets digested. If it doesn't get into the body, the body can't use it. That's why eating enough protein may not be the solution.
With fewer digestive enzymes, the body's ability to assimilate protein declines. As a result, you may become protein deficient. You can't manufacture the protein materials your body needs to rebalance your hormones.
As a highly purified protein source that is predigested, BioBuilde does not need stomach acid to be absorbed into the body. Instead, BioBuilde is absorbed directly from the small intestine into the bloodstream within 23 minutes.
By providing missing protein nutrition, BioBuilde-targeted amino acid therapy helps balance your hormone levels. This allows for increased energy and better sleep rhythms.
BioBuilde also supports optimum adrenal gland functioning, assists with neurotransmitter production, and helps maintain healthy bones and joints.
Research has shown that 99 percent of BioBuilde’s amino acids act as precursors to protein synthesis in the body, as compared to 18-48 percent of other protein sources. This efficiency is illustrated by a concept called "Net Nitrogen Utilization." You can compare BioBuilde’s nitrogen utilization to other proteins you eat with this chart.
