F.E. Formula
How it Works
F.E. Formula, short for Flash Ease, is a traditional herbal formula to support a woman during the change of life known as menopause. It consists of the time-honoured herbs black cohosh (concentrated to 2.5% triterpene glycosides) and Chinese herb dong quai. During the six months to three years of the menopause cycle, a woman may experience some of the traditional symptoms of hot flashes, sudden chills, emotional upset, and sleeping problems, etc. About 70% of women experience hot flashes and night sweats during these years. Herbs have always played a role in easing a woman through the perimenopause and menopause life changes, successfully lessening the emotional and physical transition.
Product Advantages F.E. Formula?
Many reasons. One is that our black cohosh is wild-crafted in the woodlands of the southeastern US. Experienced collectors harvest in the fall, leaving at least 50% of the plants intact to ensure a reliable future harvest. For more than 20 years, we have worked with the same reputable partner to get premium quality black cohosh root. This relationship includes a personal visit to their production facility just a few years ago. Our black cohosh is certified organic, non-GMO, Kosher and Halal.
The story behind F.E. Formula
Nature’s Sunshine introduced Flash-Ease more than 20 years ago, and this product has been a go-to for mature women ever since. Its time-release tablet helps ensure 12 hours of support whether day or night. Also known as female ginseng, dong quai grows in the cool mountains climes of Asia, most notably in China, Japan and Korea. This relative of celery, carrots and parsley has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years specifically for PMS and sexual health. Though Asia is its home turf, dong quai has been popular in Ayurveda, and it was also used by Native Americans. Black cohosh has been used by the Chinese for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine reveres this botanical for general health. Native Americans used black cohosh and shared its benefits with colonists who adopted its use and made it popular in Europe for women’s health concerns. Black cohosh was widely used by Americans in the 1800s for joint health.
