Introducing Tespo’s Formula for Healthy Menopause

Menopause.

You hear the term a lot, and yet beyond its textbook definition, it is not always clearly defined.  This is in part because it offers a unique experience to every woman it meets.

According to the Mayo Clinic, menopause occurs “12 months after your last menstrual period and marks the end of menstrual cycles.” This can happen in a woman’s 40s, but typically takes place when women hit their 50s.

Some women transition smoothly into menopause. While others deal with hot flashes, sleep disruption, low energy, and major mood swings.

However menopause symptoms vary among woman, they all have one common side effect. Menopause causes as decrease in estrogen levels, which can lead to other more serious complications.

Low estrogen increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in women. Not to mention an increased risk for developing osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to weaken and become brittle. A direct correlation has been made between a decrease in estrogen and increased osteoporosis.

Weight gain also can be an outcome of menopause as metabolism slows during this stage in life.

These are just a few reasons why a menopause-specific supplement can be crucial to maintaining a healthy body and a healthy lifestyle. These are also just a few reasons why we’re excited to introduce Tespo’s new Menopause formula, available as a booster in our Personalized Pods.

We like to think of this one as a symphony of sorts—a formula in which all of the ingredients work together in harmony to help you stay active and happy through menopause and beyond.

Here’s What’s In Tespo’s Menopause Formula

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 plays many critical roles including, supporting heart health, healthy aging and strengthening bones. In particular, it helps your body absorb calcium, which works to keep bones strong and healthy. It also supports the immune system and fights free radicals to fend off wrinkles and the aging process. The recommended daily intake for women ages 51 to 70 is 600 IU daily of Vitamin D. For those over age 70, it’s recommended to get at least 800 IU daily. It’s not uncommon for people to take 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily. The Tespo formula contains 800 IU.

Vitamin K1

As your intake of calcium increases, Vitamin K plays a key role in keeping calcification from happening in the arteries. Vitamin K plays an essential role in blood clotting, as well as in helping your bones to absorb calcium which builds stronger bones. If your bones aren’t able to absorb calcium, it ends up causing calcification or hardening of the arteries. Vitamin K1 works to prevent this from happening by helping to keep calcium moving into the bones and out of the heart’s arteries. It’s also essential to cardiovascular health.

Calcium

The mineral calcium is a key component of bones and teeth. It is also necessary for blood clotting and for your heart and nerves to function properly. Calcium becomes even more critical to our health as we age because the amount of calcium present in the body tends to decline as we get older. Furthermore, as estrogen levels in women decline after menopause, absorption of calcium also tends to decline. Hence, the importance of taking calcium along with Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K.

Green Tea Extract in the form of Thiamine HCI

This antioxidant is full of catechins, which can help boost metabolism—something that becomes a bit sluggish after menopause. Green tea contains polyphenols, which may help prevent inflammation and decrease joint degeneration while promoting cartilage health. It also aids in overall healthy aging. In the Thiamine HCI form it can play a role in maintaining heart function and a healthy nervous system.

Boron

This trace element aids with hormone management by helping to increase both estrogen and testosterone levels, which can ease menopause symptoms. It also works in partnership with calcium to strengthen bones and helps to metabolize minerals involved in bone development. It also is used to treat osteoarthritis

Genistein (GeniVida)

geniVida® is a plant isoflavone linked to numerous healthy benefits found in an Asian diet. This unique phytochemical ingredient is produced for women‘s health by DSM. It offers documented short-term relief (menopause symptom relief, including reduction of hot flashes) and long-term (bone health) benefits.
