Purified and specific cytoplasmic pollen extract: a non-hormonal alternative for the treatment of menopausal symptoms
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Review › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
Research into non-hormonal, alternative therapies is necessary for women for whom menopausal hormone therapy is contraindicated or for women who do not wish to take hormones. This review focuses on one such non-hormonal option, namely, purified and specific cytoplasmic pollen extract, or PureCyTonin®. This extract has been evaluated in several preclinical and clinical studies, where it demonstrated its value as a safe and non-estrogenic alternative for menopause. This review presents the beneficial effects of PureCyTonin® in the treatment of menopausal symptoms (e.g. hot flushes) in healthy women, as well as in premenstrual syndrome. We discuss the mechanism of action of PureCyTonin®, an SSRI-‘like’ therapy. The lack of estrogenic effect demonstrated in preclinical studies suggests that PureCyTonin® may also be a suitable option for the management of menopausal symptoms in women with breast cancer.
