Rhubarb Root Supports Antioxidants and Anti-Inflammation

Rheum rhabarbarum is a perennial herb that belongs to the buckwheat family. Rhubarb is native to cool, temperate, and subtropical areas in Mongolia, India, and China.

 

MenoFlash Benefits:

• Menopausal Support: Several studies showed that perimenopausal women using a rhubarb extract experienced a reduction in hot flashes, anxiety, and other menopausal symptoms with no side effects.
• Natural Phytoestrogen: Rhubarb appears to have phytoestrogen-like benefits in reducing menopausal symptoms but without stimulating unwanted uterine or endometrial proliferation, according to studies in both animals and humans.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Some compounds within rhubarb have been researched and are shown to demonstrate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, as well as improve insulin secretion from the pancreas. The anthraquinone glycosides give rhubarb its laxative effect and have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and proliferation, according to in vitro research.

 

 

Rheum (rhubarb) can have a laxative effect and has also been used by herbalists for tonifying the stomach, stimulating digestion, helping to balance female hormones, and more.
