Phew. Luckily, it's never too early or too late to learn how we can navigate all the menopausal stages like the wonder women we all are!

Take Charge Of Menopause Like A Boss Lady
Ladies, menopause is a natural stage of life for every woman and we think that it’s worth embracing! So, instead of being troubled and letting the symptoms control us, it's time to take charge and breeze through the menopausal years graciously. Here’s how!
First, Let's Take A Deeper Look At The Menopause Stages:
Menopause indicates the end of reproductive years, as the estrogen level lowers significantly and with that comes along multiple symptoms. However, these changes usually take time and transit along a few different phases.
If you're wondering, there are three main stages, and its common telltale signs are:
#1 Perimenopause
As the word 'peri' means, this is the first stage before the forthcoming menopause begins. It's a transition period ranging from 3 - 5 years and typically happens during a woman's late 40s years, whereby the hormone estrogen starts to fluctuate before it drops.
At this stage, a woman will start to experience irregular menstrual cycles, increased vagina dryness that can lead to discomfort during sex, elevated PMS symptoms such as moodiness, and increased period cramps. During sleep, night sweat and hot flashes might occur. Ladies, if you’re reading and are able to relate to these symptoms, then you may be experiencing perimenopause. But fret not, read on as we’ll reveal just how you can improve the experience and perhaps even float through it!
#2 Menopause
On average, women enter this stage in their early 50's, and it may last between 5-10 years or more. One of the most apparent technical signs you are in this stage is when you have missed your period for 12 months straight or more, depending on individuals, without experiencing pregnancy, illnesses, or breastfeeding.
During menopause, the hormone estrogen continues to drop more significantly, and the symptoms in perimenopause either persist or worsen for some women. Hot flashes make it more challenging to maintain an average body temperature and along with night sweat, most women during this stage may find it hard to sleep. Natural vaginal lubrication may reduce due to a drop in estrogen level, leading to vagina atrophy - the thinning and drying of the vaginal wall. In more severe cases, the vaginal wall can inflame, causing pain and difficulty to engage in sexual intercourse.
#3 Postmenopause
A woman enters the postmenopause stage which will last till the rest of her life, when the ovaries completely stop producing reproductive hormones and it no longer lowers or fluctuates. The symptoms from perimenopause and menopause stage may carry on for some women. However, for most it can reduce significantly and they begin to feel more emotionally balanced.
But due to the permanently lowered estrogen level, women at this stage will be more at risk for several health issues, such as osteoporosis, heart diseases, and vaginal infections.
Wondering how you can tackle the stages of menopause and curb its symptoms? We have the answers here.
One of the most noticeable (and uncomfortable) signs of hormonal fluctuations during menopause is the hot flash, commonly affecting more than a whopping 85% of women, with over one-third of them experiencing it even after ten years of post-menopause!
A hot flash is the sudden surge of body temperature, and this warmth is felt most intensely in the upper body, including the face, neck, and chest. As a result, sweating can occur, and the skin can redden - almost like a blush, but not the good kind that we want!
Some women might also find that their skin tends to increase in sensitivity with more severe and frequent hot flashes over time. Additionally (yes, there is more!), all the sweating coupled with patchy skin and thicker pores' sebum production due to imbalanced hormones can cause an adult acne breakout! *gasp*
But let's not let all that bring us ladies down, as we've got the solution!
AG-FACTOR™ is a must-have natural supplement for all women, which balances the body's hormonal production while beautifying the skin from the inside out! How? While menopausal hormone changes are inevitable, AG-FACTOR™ works intelligently by triggering the body to self-produce its natural Glutathione, AKA our body's master antioxidant to detoxify the liver and balance the overall hormonal production.
Not only that, but the Cysteine Peptide derived naturally from A-Grade milk in AG-FACTOR™ also helps the body to increase collagen production and improve skin's immunity to reveal smooth, glowy skin. Yes, youthful skin can still be achieved even in menopausal years!
As a natural skin-hydrating supplement, CERA5™ will work wonders to curb hot flashes by diminishing any signs of red and blotchy skin! It contains all the skin-loving ingredients such as rice-derived ceramides and lychee seed extract that can help calm 'angry,' sensitive skin. And because our skin’s natural ceramides' count - an essential component of a strong skin barrier - tends to decrease gradually as we age, CERA5™ is the perfect solution to restore a healthy barrier to lock in moisture and soothe the skin.
And though it’s true that pigmentations from UV rays exposure may start to appear more prominently as we age, especially during menopausal years for women - best believe we have the solutions! CERA5™ can assist the skin to protect itself against harmful radiations while AG-FACTOR™ works effectively to diminish dark spots as it helps brighten skin. Don’t want to choose?
Better Yet, Consume Both As A Pair!
Looking for the best result? Pair them both together - they're the most-loved Anti-Aging Duo for a reason, of course! All you need is:
- Two capsules of CERA5™ in the morning to keep your skin calm, hydrated, protected, AND ready to take on the day!
- Two capsules of AG-FACTOR™ at night to balance the hormones and detoxify your skin during sleep so you can wake up to a healthy glow!
Last but not least, a significantly lowered estrogen level can affect your feminine health as the much-needed balance between the good and bad bacteria is interrupted. This can cause a long chain of undesirable effects such as vagina dryness, reduced sexual drive, frequent urinary urgency or incontinence, and increased risks of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).
But fret not, ladies, because VOFINA™ got your back (or more accurately, your vagina)! Powered with smarter Pre+Probiotics and Lingonberries, VOFINA™ helps improve the ratio of good:bad bacteria to regulate both the gut and vagina microbiome for optimal feminine health! It works by inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria, along with the promotion of healthy bacteria. As a result, the risk of vagina infections can be lowered significantly.
Besides that, this amazing formulation also helps increase the vagina's natural lubrication so you can have happier intimate moments. No more struggling with the pain caused by vaginal dryness or feeling self-conscious, as VOFINA™ ensures that you feel sexy and confident, no matter the age! And most importantly, feel the comfort and freshness of your little sister 24/7 with just one capsule of VOFINA™ daily.
