Are you experiencing more stiffness and pain in your muscles and joints?
Are you in perimenopause or menopause?
Well…… the pain could be from the hormonal changes you are experiencing!
Musculoskeletal pain has many possible root causes, but doctors often overlook the hormonal component, leading to suffering for women.
What’s not often connected is estrogen’s effect on the musculoskeletal system, the symptoms you may experience in midlife, and how to better support your muscles, joints, and bones.
71% of women experience some level of musculoskeletal pain during perimenopause (after cycles become irregular) and menopause, with the most significant pain risk between the ages of 45 and 55. What once seemed like normal, everyday aches and pains can increase in severity significantly for some women, affecting quality of life.
The musculoskeletal system includes bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and associated nerves. The most common pain sites are in the spine, knees, hands, hips, and shoulders.
Estrogen helps maintain the structure of the musculoskeletal system. As estrogen declines and women enter a state of estrogen deficiency, bone, muscle, and connective tissue (collagen) loss accelerates, and inflammation increases. The risk for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders increases.
Simply……Women become frailer with age!
While other factors like decreased movement and inadequate nutrition play a role, we can’t overlook the importance of estrogen.
Pueraria mirifica is a traditional herb native to Thailand, used for centuries for healthy aging, rejuvenation, and hormonal support. It contains potent phytoestrogen compounds, miroestrol & deoxymiroestrol, that act as a substitute for estrogen when the body is in an estrogen-deficient state. These phytoestrogens support the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system.
| Pueraria mirifica as a supplement offers support to midlife women and is an alternative to
pharmaceutical hormone therapy. Additionally, this single “intervention” supports multiple menopausal
symptoms, from hot flashes to joint pain. |

If you notice an uptick in body pain, don’t overlook the importance of estrogen for the musculoskeletal system. |
