Safety & efficacy

Clinical trials have demonstrated that women using Femular have a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms.

Femular does not exert a direct oestrogenic effect.4 Femular is very well tolerated, with no report of serious adverse effects and no association with liver problems.5

Femular's unique formulation

Femular is an extract of Cimicifuga racemosa (Black cohosh) that has been clinically proven, it is the exact product used in clinical trials. This is very important for natural medicines as there can be great variance between products, even if they appear to use the same active ingredients, due to the plant that is used, growing methods, harvesting processes and manufacturing methods. The outcomes of clinical studies for natural medicines may therefore only apply to the exact product that has been tested. As a result, other Black cohosh extracts or products cannot be expected to deliver the same results that Femular has demonstrated in the research.

Directions & dosage

Adults: 1 tablet daily. This can be increased to 2 tablets in severe cases, if necessary.

Symptom improvement can be expected within 2 to 4 weeks of starting treatment, with optimal effects after 3 months.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, or the condition recurs, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional.
