Maintaining Optimal Breast Health

Estrogens are hormones produced primarily by the ovaries with important roles in woman’s breast health.¹ But along with aging and oxidative stress, there are many estrogen-like compounds and other environmental factors that can influence the delicate estrogen balance and affect woman’s breast structure.^2-5

Research shows that specific botanical extracts can positively influence cellular health and remove some of the anxiety women face about maintaining a healthy balance of estrogens.

Promoting Healthy Estrogen Balance

Estrogen is broken down into several important metabolites in the body, including 2-hydroxyestrone, the one “good” for breast tissue, and 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone, the one undesirable for breast tissue.⁶ Evidence shows that increased 2-hydroxyestrone and ratio between 2-hydroxyestrone and 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone is important for optimal breast health.^7-9

Scientists have identified nutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C), present in cruciferous vegetables, that can promote cellular health and tip the delicate balance of estrogens in favor of the good form.^10-12

Women seeking proactively to promote youthful hormonal balance can take this phytonutrient-based formula to help support healthy estrogen balance.

Powerful Botanical Formula

Some of the active ingredients in the Breast Health Formula are:

• Phytoestrogens that are plant-derived compounds abundant in soy. Soy isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and either have weak estrogen effects or block estrogen effects.¹³ They can also favorably alter the ratio between 2-hydroxyestrone and 16-hydroxyestrone.¹⁴
• Flaxseed lignans that boost levels of beneficial enterolactone, which looks like estrogen and favorably maintains estrogen metabolism.¹⁵
• Cruciferous Vegetable Extracts (such as I3C) that effectively increase 2-hydroxyestrone while reducing undesirable 16 alpha-hydroxyestrone.^16,17
• Calcium d-Glucarate to help support liver health, which helps remove estrogen from the body.¹⁸
• Vitamin D to support healthy DNA and protect cells from free radical damage.^19,20
