Hormonal Balance is a small, focused range: Natural Factors WomenSense EstroSense, a botanical formula in vegetarian capsules, and Source Naturals Phyto-Estrogen Cream, a soy-based cosmetic body cream in 2 oz and 4 oz sizes. Use it alongside the wider Women's Health range for vitamins with authorised claims.
Herbal and botanical blends carry no authorised health claims in the UK. If you want a nutrient that does, vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, and iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones. Look for both on women's multivitamin labels, such as Trec Multivitamin For Women, and check the amounts.
Hormonal symptoms that are heavy, painful or disrupting your life deserve a GP appointment, as effective treatments are available. If you take hormonal contraception, HRT or any other medicine, check with a pharmacist before adding a botanical supplement or a phytoestrogen product. More options, including DIM supplements, are in the wider Women's Health range, and menopause formulas are in Menopause & PMS. The cream is for external use only, so patch-test it first if your skin is sensitive.
No. It is a cosmetic, soy-based body cream that moisturises skin. It does not replace HRT or any prescribed treatment.
The label directs two capsules with food, once or twice daily, or as advised by a health professional. Do not exceed the stated amount.
It uses a vegetarian capsule and the label states it contains no animal products. Check the full label if you have other dietary needs.
Ask a pharmacist or GP first. Botanical and phytoestrogen products may not be appropriate alongside hormonal medicines.
The formula is identical. The 2 oz size is a good first purchase, and the 4 oz is better value if you already use it daily.
