The change of life is a time of hormonal activity that is associated with major physical and emotional upheaval. This hormonal change can lead to the familiar, unpleasant symptoms such as hot flushes, sweating, sleep problems and mood swings.
The fat and bone metabolism changes and many women notice a gain in weight. However, the change of life goes further than just a number of physical changes. In this time of life many women realize their long-cherished dreams, make travel plans, become more involved in various projects and set themselves new goals.
Orthomol® Femin provides the sufficient supply of macro- and micronutrients that are extremely important during the change of life to ensure good health and well-being, but also to maintain our beauty. With the right combination, we can preserve both beauty and health without having to make too many sacrifices. Micronutrients play a significant role in our diet: although the body often only needs the tiniest amounts of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals / trace elements), they are crucial for our vitality.

Phases and duration of the change of life
Menopause is defined as the end of the last menstrual period, which usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. Menopause can be precisely specified at a later date when a woman has experienced 12 months without menstrual bleeding. The preceding and following one or two years are called the perimenopause (peri = around) and this is the phase of greatest hormonal change, i.e. when the actual change happens. The phase before this, when the levels of estrogen and gestagen gradually become lower and menstrual bleeding becomes more erratic, is known as premenopausal (pre = before). Menopause is followed by the postmenopause (post = after), in which the hormone levels slowly reach a new equilibrium. Overall, the change of life lasts around 10 years on average, but symptoms usually occur for a shorter length of time and some women only have a few or even no problems at all.
A well balanced mix of micronutrients is contained in Orthomol® Femin and suitable for women during the change of life. The most important of these are:
B vitamins – maintain a normal energy metabolism, reduce tiredness and exhaustion and to manage hormonal activity.
Vitamin C and Vitamin E – working together produce collagen and keep the skin functioning normally, have antioxidants to protect against damages caused by free radicals.
Vitamin D – helps reduce risk of osteoporosis.
Zinc and Selenium – important processes in the body, particularly the immune system, healthy skin and hair.
Omega-3 fatty acids – proper functioning of cell membranes.
Coenzyme Q10 – important regulatory functions of metabolic processes.
Isoflavones and lignans – similar to the body’s estrogen, but exclusively of plant origin.
