Introducing Menissimo’s Nutraceuticals for managing your menopausal symptoms naturally with the power of clinically proven botanicals
Savvy Soya Isoflavones is a high-quality standardised extract - a ‘standardised herbal extract’ is an herb extract that has one or more components present in a specific, guaranteed amount, usually expressed as a percentage. Our intention behind the standardisation of our herbs is to guarantee you that you are receiving a product in which the chemistry is consistent from batch to batch. Fundamentally it ensures quality, but more importantly consistency. The Menissimo Formula 2 combines the natural power of Soya, Kudzu Root & Red Clover in a powerful combination of phytoestrogens clinically proven to help with the uncomfortable and unsettling symptoms of menopause.
The Power of 3 With Potent Phytopower Nutraceuticals
Soya Extract 100mg (10% Isoflavones)
Soya contains many valuable constituents including protein, isoflavones, saponins and phytosterols. The isoflavones in soya have been well researched by scientists for their antioxidant and phytoestrogenic properties. Phyto (we call it Phytopower), or plant oestrogens have a chemical structure like your own hormone oestrogen, but it is what’s known as an adaptogen, meaning that it works with your own oestrogen levels to rebalance them and restore a harmonious balance naturally. The mild oestrogenic properties of isoflavones may ease menopausal symptoms for some women. All this without creating oestrogen-related problems which sadly is not the case with synthetic hormones such as HRT. In addition, isoflavones may help regulate hormone levels in premenopausal women. Phytoestrogens can also protect against osteoporosis, which experts believe is partly caused by the low postmenopausal levels of oestrogen.
Soya Isoflavones the clinical findings:
Overall, current research demonstrates that phytoestrogens are effective in reducing the intensity of hot flushes, and some phytoestrogen combinations result in a decreased frequency. Certain phytoestrogens have also been shown to decrease vaginal atrophy, improve sleep and cognition, and positively affect bone health.
Moreover, unlike hormone therapy (HRT Hormone Replacement Therapy), lignans may not increase clotting risk in postmenopausal women, thus supplements may serve as a treatment option for patients who have contraindications to hormone therapy. Phytoestrogens may provide a safe and partially effective alternative to HT [1].
“A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of dietary soy consumption by menopausal women, showed a significant improvement in reducing somatic symptoms including hot flashes compared to placebo” [2]
Kudzu Root Powder Extract 60mg (40% Isoflavones)
Kudzu is a vine, it produces purple flowers which are fragrant and edible, the effective part of the plant we use is its root. Loved in both Japanese cooking and medicine the root is the potent core packed with isoflavones. We believe it is this powerfully natural formula that offers the most support during your body’s change to tackle the problematic symptoms associated with menopause. Kudzu is also used to treat several other conditions such as alcoholism and to reduce symptoms of alcohol hangover, including headache, upset stomach, dizziness, and vomiting. Kudzu is also used for heart and circulatory problems, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart failure, and chest pain; for upper respiratory problems including sinus infections, the common cold, hay fever, flu, and swine flu; and for skin problems, including allergic skin rash, itchiness, and psoriasis.
We chose Kudzu root’s Phytopower (it is packed with phytoestrogens) because we know it is effective in combatting many menopausal symptoms as well as helping with weight loss, exercise performance and muscle pain too.
Red Clover Powder 50mg (2.5% Isoflavones)
Red clover is scientifically known as Trifolium pratense, a flowering plant and, like lentils and beans is a type of legume. Used in traditional medicine like soya, red clover contains isoflavones – a type of phytoestrogen, or naturally occurring plant oestrogen. Like soy, it is adaptogenic, meaning that it works within your body to rebalance high and low oestrogen levels. Nowadays, it’s often used to ease menopause symptoms, hot flushes and night sweats. [3]
Get a sanity-check with Savvy Soya Isoflavones
The well-known component of kudzu, soy, and red clover, genistein (10 nM – 10 µM) was shown to stimulate [3H] serotonin uptake [4].
Serotonin is a messenger chemical that carries signals between nerve cells in the brain (a neurotransmitter). It's thought to have a good influence on mood, emotion and sleep. After carrying a message, serotonin is usually reabsorbed by the nerve cells, all positive effects during menopause when the crashing oestrogen levels play havoc with our brains in so many ways!

Menissimo Enlightened Erotique Formula #3
One of the most shocking and upsetting symptoms of menopause is a dwindling or sometimes plummeting libido, difficulty in reaching orgasm, reduced natural lubrication – and to top it all – painful sex too. The key to regaining libidinous feelings and getting back into the bedroom for hot sex as opposed to a hot flush is balancing those hormones and lighting the fires of lust once again!
