Tough we think of declining estrogen as the hallmark of menopause, it is actually common for women to experience surges of abnormally high estrogen levels during the menopausal and premenopausal periods, as well as earlier in life.
Dr. John R. Lee has done extensive research into this phenomenon. It is his belief that an excess of estrogen, coupled with a deficiency of progesterone (the counter hormone to estrogen), is the common denominator for a lot of female troubles. Dr. Lee has pioneered the use of natural progesterone as an aid to dealing with this syndrome.

Estrogen dominance can start early on in a women’s menstrual cycle. Young women who suffer from this enter menarche with tremendously difficult periods, and doctors sometimes give these teenage girls birth control pills to help regulate the frequency and severity of their periods.
Some women will develop the estrogen dominance syndrome much later in life, sometimes as a result of diet, liver impairment, or environmental factors or also as a result of anovulatory cycles before menopause - that is, menstrual cycles in which no ovulation has occurred.

Milk Thistle Combination
Our liver is bombarded by thousands of toxins daily. As you age and your liver becomes overwhelmed and over used, these toxins get shuttled out to fat cells. This stubborn fat, is probably why it becomes difficult to lose weight.
Vitamin E with selenium
The 2nd powerful ingredient that we want to talk about is Selenium. It is a mineral involved in many different body processes including the thyroid, liver, immune system, and pancreas, so adding this formula is a no brainer because of what it can do to boost your metabolism and burn fat. So how does Selenium do this? Well, it helps the liver to deal with fats in the body and then exports them via the bile for elimination and also helps your thyroid in proper hormone regulation for fat loss.
N Acetyl cysteine
This combination is essential for the body to mount a defense against free radicals, and it supports the natural elimination of harmful toxins. This nutrient is a precursor to glutathione, one of the body's most powerful antioxidants.
Its principal benefits include protecting the liver, maintaining blood pressure levels and protecting the skin and eyes. NSP N-Acetyl Cysteine contains turmeric for added liver support.
"No other antioxidant is as important to overall health as glutathione. It is the regulator and regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable detoxifying agent in the human body." The Immune System Cure, Lorna R. Vanderhaeghe& Patrick J.D. Bouic, Ph.D.
Chromium GTF
Critical for regulation of blood sugar
Chromium is the central atom of GTF. Insulin works with the GTF (Glucose Tolerance Factor) molecule to regulate blood sugar levels by transporting glucose into the body's cells. The liver also needs Chromium to manufacture and control fatty acids, lecithin, cholesterol and lipoproteins. Chromium is removed from foods such as wheat aud sugar cane by processing.
