你有更年期困擾嗎？「植物雌激素」能改善熱潮紅、骨質疏鬆，更年期依然自信又美麗！
雌激素是女性第二性徵發育必不可少的重要物質，是女性青春活力的源泉，它能將一個個少女變得如花似玉、鮮活水靈，展現出靚麗的肌膚、飽滿的胸部、健美的形體。
可以說女人的一生都離不開雌激素，而中老年女性生理性衰退和許多疾病的發生，也都與缺乏雌激素有關，如高脂血症、心腦血管病、骨質疏鬆症等。
你可以直接補充這些富含豐富植物雌激素的天然食物。

注意：子宮內膜異位症不適合補充植物雌激素
植物雌激素跟藥用荷爾蒙一樣，過多或過少會改變激素依賴性組織功能。因此適量的補充是最有利的。婦女如有需要植物性雌激素補充，可向婦產科醫師請教，如何攝取足夠植物性雌激素，而不影響其它新陳代謝功用。
