New Women’s Health Products to Target Menopause

Unicity Launches New Women’s Health Products to Target Menopause (US & CN NFR) Based on the clinical discoveries and writings of Dr. Joseph J. Collins, the new products support the special needs and specific health risks based on hormone function. When a woman experiences perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause her body goes through a number of changes including changes in important hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It's important to realize that how these hormones are affected vary from woman to woman. Her hormones may remain adequate to contribute to the quality of her life and decrease her risk of disease for decades after menopause. On the other hand, they may become deficient, which could significantly diminish the quality of her life, and significantly increase her risks for various diseases. To help ease the common symptoms of menopause, Unicity in cooperation with Dr. Collins, is launching four new Women’s Health products and a comprehensive program to help educate women about menopause and which product would be most appropriate for them.

 

Aging Begins at the Cellular Level
How aging affects the ability of your body’s cell to perform their vital functions.

Today, there are more than 4 million Americans 85 and older. That number is expected to grow almost 5 times larger by the year 2050, when the youngest baby boomers turn 86. That means there may then be more than 20 million people over age 85 in the U.S. Some researchers forecast even larger numbers—perhaps more than 28 million by that year.It’s no secret that as we age, our bodies gradually slow down and start to change. We look and feel different than we once did, with less energy and motivation, more aches and pains, and a rounder, less well-defined body.Science has discovered that one of the reasons for this general decline has to do with hormone levels. Hormones produced naturally by the pituitary gland affect almost every cell in the body and are involved in every aspect of human activity, including sexual function, metabolism, and mood.Natural hormone levels begin to decline in adulthood, and individuals with naturally lower levels seem to age faster than those whose levels remain higher for a longer period of time.A major factor of aging is due to free radicals, which causes oxidative stress and results in cellular damage. This can snowball into many pathological conditions, in particular atherosclerosis, arthritis, muscular atrophy, cataract, certain degenerative pulmonary and neurological diseases, and even cancer.Certain compounds are produced by the pituitary gland are essential for growth and regeneration of cells and tissues. Some specialists in anti-aging medicine believe that regaining the ability to create these compounds or even introducing these compounds to a person deficient in them may have the effect of a "Fountain of Youth!" The body's production of some of these molecules is very high during childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, after age 20 the release of these products by the pituitary gland falls at a rate of approximately 14% every 10 years. By age 60, a loss of 75% or more of these compounds is not uncommon. The physical symptoms such as wrinkles, increased body fat, loss of muscle mass, loss of energy and other signs that normally accompanies aging can be linked directly to this decrease in the production of these important biomolecules.
