Menocta helps relieve the symptoms of menopause, thanks to black cohosh, a medicinal plant that promotes hormonal balance. It also contains melatonin and 5-HTP, which help relax the nervous system to relieve insomnia.
Menocta is a food supplement developed by Seid Lab to provide a healthy option, free of phytoestrogens and hormones, for women who are going through the menopause. To this end, the brand has resorted to medicinal plants that promote the production of serotonin, as this neurotransmitter is affected during the climacteric period. This leads to nervous disorders, hot flushes and insomnia, as serotonin is also necessary for the formation of melatonin. The presence of 5HTP, pollen extract and black cohosh extract thus helps to relax the nervous system, improving mood and sleep quality. They also support the thermoregulatory centre in the hypothalamus, which is altered by a lack of oestrogen. In this way, it helps to alleviate hot flushes and excessive sweating, while melatonin promotes proper rest. This helps to prevent headaches and general discomfort caused by insomnia, as well as optimising the regenerative processes that occur during rest. It also contains vitamin B6, which is involved in the transformation of food into energy, helping to alleviate fatigue and the hangover effect that melatonin can leave behind. In addition, vitamins B12 and folic acid help strengthen haemoglobin and neurons. Finally, vitamin E provides antioxidants to improve the development of each cell, thus helping to prevent premature ageing. It also improves the condition of the skin, bones and circulatory system, as oestrogen deficiency accelerates ageing exponentially. This is why antioxidants are particularly important at this time and vitamin E is rich in these substances. Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of this supplement for women in the pre-menopausal and menopausal stages.
