The Femular range helps relieve menopausal symptoms including:3-4

Hot flushes and sweating

Hot flushes and sweating

Hot flushes and night sweats are among the most common and unpleasant menopausal symptoms. These sudden and intense feelings of heat, often accompanied by sweating, can be disruptive and uncomfortable. Femular alleviates hot flushes, allowing women to regain their comfort and quality of life.

Disturbed sleep, nervous tension and irritability

Disturbed sleep, nervous tension and irritability

Menopause symptoms can extend beyond the physical to affect a woman's emotional and psychological wellbeing. Disrupted sleep, mild anxiety and irritability can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations during menopause. Femular and Femular Forte provide relief by helping to balance these hormonal changes for improved sleep quality and reduced feelings of nervous tension.

Headaches and joint pain*

Headaches and joint pain*

Some women experience headaches and joint pain during menopause due to hormonal changes and the overall physical transition. Femular and Femular Forte can help manage these discomforts, making daily life more manageable and enjoyable. By alleviating these symptoms, women can maintain their regular activities and routines without the hindrance of persistent pain.

Yes, Femular and Femular Forte contain a very small amount of lactose (44mg) in each tablet.

Femular and Femular Forte contain no added gluten, wheat, yeast, soy, artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners.

It is not fully understood how the Femular/Femular Forte Ze 450 extract of Actaea racemosa works, however evidence suggests that it may work on the neuroendocrine function. Several studies suggest that it may act on receptors in the brain which play a role in central nervous system processes that help govern body temperature (thermoregulation), and also feelings of stress, nervousness and mild anxiety.5-7 

The activity of Actaea racemosa in relation to oestrogen has also been investigated and the evidence suggests Femular is likely to be non-oestrogenic.6,8

 The research in this area suggests that Actaea racemosa may work instead as a selective oestrogen receptor modulator (SERM) helping to modulate and mimic oestrogen and is not likely to have a direct oestrogenic effect. 6,8  

Menopausal symptoms may improve within 1 month of starting Femular or Femular Forte with best results expected after 3 months’ use, and continued improvement shown over 9 months.2-4
