Frequently Asked Questions

What is a phytoestrogen?
A phytoestrogen is a substance that occurs naturally in some plants. Chemically, it is very similar to estrogen, and it produces estrogen-like activity in the body.

What are isoflavones?
Isoflavones are one type of phytoestrogen. They occur naturally in plants like soy and red clover, and in the herb kudzu.

Are isoflavones important, and are they safe?
Yes. Isoflavones are important in ensuring a comfortable menopause — a time without great discomfort from hot flashes, night sweats and irritability; and for supporting cardiovascular health and strong healthy bones*. Isoflavones from soy have been an integral part of the diet for millions of the world's people for thousands of years. Kudzu and red clover have a long history of safe use in herbal medicine.

Why does NEWPHASE® contain 80 mg of isoflavones?
Studies have shown that Asian women who eat a soy-rich, isoflavone-rich diet are ingesting anywhere from 50-100 mg of isoflavones each day, and clinical studies on the benefits of isoflavones have tested even higher amounts. NEWPHASE® provides you with 80 mg of isoflavones each day, so that you can experience the benefits of a diet rich in isoflavones. NEWPHASE® provides more isoflavones than any other brand.

I've heard of soy. Tell me about Chaste tree berry and Black Cohosh root?
Black cohosh root and chaste tree berry balance out the NEWPHASE® formula. Black cohosh root contains phytoestrogens and chaste tree berry contains phytoprogesterones (substances that produce a progesterone-like activity in the body). Together, they help to support hormonal balance*.

Why is hormonal balance important for a smooth menopausal transition?
Hormonal balance helps to assure a comfortable menopause — with fewer hot flashes, night sweats, less irritability associated with the menopausal years.

How long do I need to take NEWPHASE® before I can expect to experience some benefit?
Every woman is different, but you are likely to experience benefits within the first month.
