Recently,
researchers at the National Institute of Aging discovered that by
maintaining optimal levels of estrogen, postmenopausal women may
be able to protect themselves from memory decline associated with
aging.1 Adequate levels of estrogen, it appears, protect regions
of the brain which are most vulnerable to neuron loss.
The Menopause Profile can be used
to determine baseline need for hormone replacement therapy, to check
whether estrogen levels are adequate for optimizing memory function,
bone strength, and cardiovascular status, and to help identify excesses
linked to unpleasant side effects and increased breast cancer risk.
The
Women's Hormonal Health Assessment provides a focused
overview of hormonal balance in both pre- and post-menopausal women,
using a single serum sample to evaluate dynamics of sex steroid
metabolism that can profoundly affect a woman's health throughout
her lifetime.
