Even though menopause is a natural event in every woman's life, the accompanying weight gain has many women worried. It is not very healthy and not good for your complection to gain weight.

The latest researches have established that the risks related to high blood pressure increase by at least five percent per two pounds increase in the weight! The decreasing estrogen levels also cause a decrease in the metabolism, which causes the body to hang on to its fat resources more tenaciously.

This weight gain also is responsible for other health problems as well. Heart diseases, diabetes and even an increased risk of cancer of the breast and other kinds have been attributed to this menopausal weight gain.

Pharmacetical companies has developed certain menopausal weight loss products that claim to ease the weight problems of women. Menopause brings an increase in appetite and a slower metabolism, which many of the popular weight loss programs claim to balance. They say to support females in coping with issues of menopause and help them with nutrients.

A new product for menopausal weight loss is Estrin D. It claims to have ingredients like caffeine, guarana, yerba, matte and herbal constituents like damiana, ginger, schisandra and Tibetan ginseng. The ingredients assist in controlling appetite, as well as stimulate metabolism and decrease chance of mood swings, which can change because of changes in hormone levels. They are all known to increase the basal metabolic rate in a person. The caffeine present in the product is a natural stimulant as well. But, can this be used by women undergoing menopause is the question that arises.

Medical research informs us that ingesting caffeine during menopause is a poor idea. Caffeine in normal circumstances can cause an increase in the heart rate, increase blood pressure, sweating. Sometimes women going through menopause may feel some bad effects from ingesting caffeine. To reduce the common symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, insomnia and night sweats, women are urged to avoid food and beverages with caffeine. Fro women going through menopause caffeine can be a cause for osteoporosis.

According to the reviews by users this product has a high quantity of stimulants, which are not medically recommended for women with menopausal problems. These stimulants may cause nausea, anxiety and jitters in women. Besides, stimulants do not guarantee sustained weight loss. Also there seems to be no appetite suppressant in the formula. Caffeine does not guarantee fat loss as compared to a patented fat burner. Moreover, the company does not offer a money back guarantee and the product is pretty high priced.

Instead of investing in expensive supplements to control the health issues associated with menopause, women can benefit from a healthy diet and moderate exercise. These supplements do more harm than good due to such a high amount of stimulants. You only need to reduce the fat and fried foods in your diet as well as regularly exercising. - 15437
