Protocol to relieve menopausal symptoms

Protocol to relieve menopausal symptoms

Nov 27, 2022

Some people appear to be able to sail through   the menopause but others experience debilitating hot flushes, anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, new aches and pains, a reduction in libido among many other symptoms.

Here is the protocol for this particular rite of passage.

·         A good all round vitamin B complex which will help to alleviate fatigue, brain fog, mood swings and insomnia. If you lack energy and crave carbohydrates, drink lots of tea, coffee, alcohol, use oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy then you are likely to be thiamine (vitamin B1) deficient.  

·         Pantothenic acid -  pantothenic acid is vitamin B5 – one of the B complex which has a special role to play in supporting oestrogen levels.  Unless there is enough pantothenic acid in your system then you cannot synthesise enough of   the steroid hormones like progesterone or oestrogen. Very low levels of pantothenic acid can cause tingling in the hands. Thus if the B complex does not contain 50mg of pantothenic acid then you will have to buy pantothenic acid as a stand along vitamin and take it alongside the complex.

Good sources of pantothenic acid are: mushrooms, liver, banana, sunflower seeds, brown rice, eggs, collard greens, lentils. broccoli.

Recommended Daily Intake: 50mg  

·         Vitamin E 100mg taken 3 times daily   - may relieve hot flushes and headaches where vitamin E deficiency is the problem. If no effect after 6 weeks, this can be abandoned, if desired.  Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin and must be taken with a little fat for absorption.

·         Histidine for orgasm 500mg before each meal -  this follows on from the work of the American Carl Pfeiffer.  Histidine is an amino acid which is necessary for orgasm to occur. Histidine is the parent of the active molecule histamine.  An orgasm occurs when histamine is released from mast cells.  These are cells of the immune system.  Histamine is released from mast cells in the appropriate area and produces the flushing feeling associated with orgasm.

Histidine also alleviates brain fog, anxiety and depression with tend to be associated with the lack of sexual desire found at menopause.  

The addition of manganese with the vitamin B complex helps with this particular problem.

It follows from the above that individuals taking antihistamines are at a disadvantage when trying to achieve orgasm. 

Please note that amino acids are better supplied in free form so that they retain their therapeutic value. In powder form they are absorbed rapidly – within a couple of minutes after they have been swallowed.   

Good sources of histidine are: beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, fish,  pork, eggs, milk, cheese, nuts whole grains and nuts

The RDI of histidine is 10mg per kg of body mass.

·         Cholesterol -   cholesterol is required for the synthesis of hormones like progesterone and oestrogen therefore I do not recommend the practice of lowering cholesterol through artificial means.  The liver regulates the amount of cholesterol in the body.  Cholesterol levels will fluctuate quite naturally to accommodate, injury, stress, infection, growth, repair and many other functions. Those with higher cholesterol levels live longer and have better memories, research shows.

·         Tryptophan 500mg – up to 3 times daily when required.  Tryptophan is a mood stabiliser and a precursor of vitamin B3  and the feel good neurotransmitter, serotonin.   

Good sources of tryptophan are: turkey breast and poultry in general, beans and lentils, oats, dried prunes, milk, bananas, tuna, cheese, peanuts and chocolate.

·         Magnesium glycinate 300mg before bedtime with additional 3g of glycine – magnesium glycinate has a significant impact on menopausal symptoms.  Magnesium support gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) as well as normalising the action of progesterone in the central nervous system.  Glycine, the tiniest amino acid increases serum levels of oestroedial (17 Beta). In addition, it has an osteo-protective effect. Further, it helps in the synthesis of serotonin and melatonin, both necessary substances for general well- being.   

  • Boron - 3-6mg daily - boron is only found in fruit and vegetables. It has exemplary properties for bone health, hardening bone and reducing inflammation. It aids other trace minerals work better and is the mineral which corrects the poor response that some non-responders to vitamin D have.

It is also appears to increase oestrogen post menopause

Glycine - an amino acid - has oestrogen like effects and it helps to protect bones. It comes in crystalline form and tastes sweet. Take 3g daily.
