Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Femivell reduces the severity of hormonal disorders in women and relieves the symptoms of menopause. Its mechanism of action is due to an effective combination of properties of natural components, including phytoestrogens of soy and red clover, soy protein and vitamin E. The drug improves blood lipid composition, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases and atherosclerosis, and prevents breast cancer and osteoporosis. The content of phytoestrogens with estrogen-like action corresponds to physiological norms and does not cause undesirable reactions.
Soy isoflavones have antiplatelet and antioxidant effects. Depending on a woman's natural hormone levels, they can be estrogen-like or anti-estrogenic. Soy isoflavones have a beneficial effect on bone health during menopause. They promote the synthesis of collagen in bones, inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, causing a decrease in the rate of bone resorption, and increase the activity of osteoblasts. Compared to synthetic drugs, the advantage of phytoestrogens is the absence of side effects.
One of the properties of red clover is anti-climacteric. The content of phytoestrogens, trace elements, vitamins A, B and C has a beneficial effect on the immune system.
Tocopherol acetate or vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, prevents the formation of free radicals, which helps to reduce the risk of developing cancer pathologies.
During menopause, taking Femivell can become an alternative to hormone replacement therapy.
