Comparison of the Efficacy and Tolerability of Femal Versus Placebo

"Femal, a food supplement based on pollen extracts introduced in Europe in 1999, is a non-estrogenic alternative to hormone replacement therapy in women with vasomotor symptoms.~The mechanism of action of Femal has not yet been fully clarified: Femal inhibits the absorption of serotonin in a dose-dependent manner and has strong antioxidant properties.~The lack of estrogenic effects would make this preparation of particular interest for women with a previous hormone-dependent neoplasia who undergo an early iatrogenic menopause.~Femal tablets contain a standardized formulation containing: GC Fem pollen extract 40 mg, PI82 pollen / pistil extract 120 mg, vitamin E 5 mg, amino acids 14 mg per tablet.~The dosage is 2 tablets a day orally."
