Rhapontic Rhubarb ExtractUpdated 2 years ago
The Rhapontic Rhubarb Extract used in NovaMD’s Advanced Menopause Support is a specialized, patented form of Siberian Rhubarb Root Extract.
This plant-based extract has been tested in numerous long-term, placebo-controlled clinical trials for efficacy and safety (including one 2-year study). It has a long history of use in Europe and doctors have used it to treat menopause symptoms in Germany for over two decades.
In a 6-month study, there was a 55% decrease in total menopause symptoms without negative side-effects. The largest changes were observed for: hot flashes/sweating, sleep problems, irritability, depressive mood, and physical & mental exhaustion.
In a 12-week study, 85% of participants reported a significant reduction in menopausal anxiety and the number & severity of hot flashes.
At the beginning of a 2009 study, participants reported an average of 11.4 hot flashes per day. After 12 weeks, the average was down to 2.8 hot flashes per day — a 75% decrease.
In all clinical trials, the dosage of Rhapontic Rhubarb Extract used was 4 mg per day, which is the exact dosage used in NovaMD’s Advanced Menopause Support.
