I teach middle school students. My mood and comfort level are extremely important in how well I can teach, as well as how my students respond to me. When I started out this year with hot flashes (up to six in a day), as well as mood fluctuations that were off the charts, I was more than concerned. Added to these, I had terrible night sweats and insomnia for about a week out of every month. In short, I was a wreck.
Multiple trips to my gynecologist only made me worse and worse as she tried out different hormonal therapies. I finally decided to stop all hormone therapy, but felt I was pretty well doomed until a friend handed me a bottle of Prevailin. I nearly set it aside, thinking there was no way it could help if the experts couldn't figure out a way to change things for the better, but tried it anyway. I was shocked when I realized that in less than one bottle I no longer had any hot flashes. Shortly after, my husband and daughter commented on how my mood had improved (I loved hearing that). It has been two months since I started on the Prevailin. I am now sleeping through the night comfortably, which has made a huge difference in my life. The most surprising change is that my finger nails, which had terribly deep ridges for years, are suddenly strong and ridge-free.
I definitely recommend Prevailin to any woman who is suffering with hormone issues. I'd love to see it make the difference in others' that it did in my life.

Previalin-HS
Thousands of women each day are diagnosed with Uterine Fibroids.Many women are unsure of what their options are. Most women get their advice their doctor and begin a regiment of steroids and hormones as this program is the most often used to combat the growth of uterine fibroids. It can also be very costly to their way of life as this method, a large majority of the time, can cause mood swings, hot flashes and many other uncomfortable side effects. Unfortunately, most women who are dealing with this issue for the first time also find out is that they are in for months, and sometime years, of prescriptions until the right balance of hormones is reached for that particular individual.
Fortunately, today, because of the advancement of supplementation and products that are now being formulated by doctors and physicians, the improvement in condition based supplementation has grown by leaps and bounds. This has been a great blessing to women who now have the option of an alternative, side effect free approach in dealing with uterine fibroids.
Previalin-HS was formulated with a specific blend of ingredients to aid women in their fight against the growth of uterine fibroids. Previalin-HS has a unique 2 phase pharmaceutical grade blend.
Previalin-HS Functions
The isoflavone complex of soy, Pueraria lobata & red clover, support 2-hydroxylation, glucose utilization and bone health. Phytoestrogens mimic the functions of estrogens without proliferative actions, and include black cohosh, and salvia which support and minimize the changes sometimes experienced during menopause. The phytoestrogens found in dong quai help to increase vaginal lubrication by maintaining mucus tissue health. Adaptogens with nootropic properties such as bacopa, salvia and schisandra support cognition, memory and the facilitation of learning, functions associated with optimal estrogen function. The antioxidant properties in this formulation, further enhanced by cranberry fruit extract, maintain the antioxidant activity provided by healthy estrogen function. This formulation offers support of healthy estrogen function
Previalin-HS Phase 1:
The first phase of Previalin-HS is an isoflavone blend. Isoflavone or Soy has been used by women for many years to help fight the effects of hormonal imbalances.Research suggests that soy isoflavones act in four distinct ways: as estrogens and antiestrogens, as cancer-enzyme inhibitors, as antioxidants and as immune enhancers. Estrogens and antiestrogens: Isoflavones are considered nonsteroidal estrogens: They are strikingly similar in chemical structure to the estrogen hormones women produce, but they are also different enough not to be full-fledged steroidal hormones.
The most immediate and observable effect of supplemental soy isoflavones is the reduction of menopausal hot flashes. In one study, Italian researchers gave 104 women daily servings of either isolated soy protein, containing 76 mg of isoflavones, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Within three weeks, the women eating soy averaged a 26 percent reduction in hot flashes. By the end of the study they had a 45 percent reduction in hot flashes. [1]
Other studies have shown similar benefits. Gregory L. Burke, M.D., of the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, N.C., gave isoflavone-rich soy supplements to 51 postmenopausal women. The soy lessened menopausal symptoms, lowered blood pressure and resulted in a healthier blood lipoprotein profile. The supplements led to these benefits, Burke noted, without the side effects associated with conventional hormone replacement therapy. [2]
In women, estrogen promotes bone formation, and the postmenopausal decrease in estrogen production increases the risk of osteoporosis. In a study at the University of Illinois, Urbana, John W. Erdman, Ph.D., gave daily soy supplements or a placebo to 60 postmenopausal women. The soy supplements contained either 55.6 or 90 mg of isoflavones. After six months, the women consuming soy isoflavones had significant increases in bone mineral content and density in their lumbar spines, compared with a control group. The researchers did not note any dose-related differences between the supplement groups. [3]
Women will benefit greatly from the pharmaceutical grade Isoflavone complex in Previalin-HS. There are many years of research and clinical studies showing the profound positive effects of Isoflavone treatment for women in the post menstrual years.
Previalin-HS Phase 2:
Black Cohosh is used in Previalin-HS for hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness and other symptoms that can occur during menopause, as well as for menstrual cramps and bloating. Women in their post menstrual years often deal with these issues on a daily basis with little or no relief. Previalin-HS uses a 8% pharmaceutical grade Black Cohosh. This will provide you with the highest grade of Black Cohosh allowed.
Warning: Do not use Previalin-HS if you are pregnant or if you are trying to conceive.

How do isoflavones work? Phytoestrogens like isoflavones are structured like human estrogen. Although they can act differently than estrogen, they often interact with estrogen receptors to produce similar effects in the body.
In addition to their benefits for menopause, isoflavones offer the added advantage of being readily absorbed in the digestive tract and are almost completely metabolized and eliminated within 24 hours of consumption.
