Properties of the Medicinal Ingredients: 

Wolfiporia extensa: Poria cocos, also called Fu-Ling, is a popular Chinese medicinal (CM) herb of fungal origin, has been included in many combinations with other CM herbs for its traditionally claimed activities of inducing diuresis, excreting dampness, invigorating the spleen and tranquilizing the mind and its modern pharmacological use of modulating the immune system of the body. 

Ziziphus jujuba: jujube seed also known as "Sour Date Seed" is believed in Traditional Chinese Medicine to be one of the best herb for calming disturbed "shen" (spirit) with symptoms of nervous exhaustion, fatigue, irritability, and insomnia. Classified as a nutritive sedative, it calms the mind, relaxes and nourishes muscles, nourishes the blood, spleen and liver, helps to conserve energy, and is analgesic.

Actaea racemosa: Black Cohosh is traditionally used to help relieve premenstrual and menopausal symptoms. It is also traditionally used to relax skeletal muscles and ease nervous tension. Clinical studies confirm black cohosh helps to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mild depression (associated with hormonal imbalance), and vaginal atrophy. 

Lycium barbarum: Goji berries are an excellent source of antioxidants that boost immune system, help liver function, improve circulation and promote longevity. 

Epimedium brevicornu: Epimedium, also known as Yin Yang Huo or Horny Goat Weed, is a powerful remedy in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used to invigorate the kidneys and strengthen yang. Studies report that Horny Goat Weed boosts libido, improves erectile function, and helps to alleviate menopausal discomfort.

 Angelica sinensis: Dong quai is sometimes called "female ginseng" and has been used for more than as a tonic to regulate hormone levels which are the main cause of menstrual and menopausal problems. It was also used as a blood tonic to nourish the blood and boost circulation. 

Panax quinquefolius: Canadian Ginseng is the most potent of all cultivated ginseng, known for its wonderful restorative and tonic. It has been called "the elixir of life". It is an adoptagen that helps relieve stress, increase energy, improve immune function, and lowers blood glucose level.  

Soy Isoflavone: Isoflavones are converted into phytoestrogens in the body and research has shown they help to block estrogen receptors, reduce symptoms of menopause, particularly hot flashes and help to regulate the menstrual cycle. Soy isoflavones is ideal for women with menopausal and hormonal concerns.
