What's in Promensil?
Derived from red clover, Promensil contains a standardized 40 mg of
the four principle isoflavones - biochanin A, formononetin, genistein and daidzein.
How to take Promensil
The recommended daily dose for Promensil is 1 to 2 tablets daily, taken
with food. To help relieve daytime symptoms, take Promensil with breakfast. If night
time symptoms are worse, take Promensil with the evening meal.
Antibiotics may disrupt your gut flora and hence reduce the absorption of Promensil
via the gut. Eating yogurt or taking acidophilus may help to re-establish your gut
flora and improve the absorption of Promensil.
H2 antagonists such as Zantac and Tazac as well as proton pump inhibitors
such as Somac, Zoton and Nexium may also reduce the uptake of Promensil.
Promensil is available in a 30 tablet (one month) or 60 tablet (two month) blister
pack, with a daily calendar indicator.
Clinical trials
Promensil has been clinically tested with trials being published in
peer reviewed journals. All studies were conducted by specialists in universities
and teaching hospitals under strict ethical approval using Good Clinical Research
Practice guidelines.
Cautions
Promensil is not recommended for use during pregnancy or lactation.
It is not recommended for use by children.
Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional.
Safety data
In clinical trials Promensil was well tolerated with a safety profile
similar to placebo.
