(ARA) – Given all the bad news about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), now there's some good news on how menopausal and post-menopausal women can live productive, healthy lives.

Millions of women took HRT to preserve bone health and brain health and to help reduce hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Unfortunately, recent studies show that women taking a popular prescription hormone combination doubled their risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Another new finding suggests that these hormones may make tumors harder to detect, possibly leading to dangerous delays in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Natural Alternatives to HRT Are Here

If you are taking HRT or stopped when you learned about the new risks, there is some good news: safe alternatives to HRT already exist.

A new study of 2889 people ages 65 to 102 suggests that Vitamin E may protect against a decline in brain function. And, the National Library of Medicine has done studies that show phytoestrogens from plants which have some estrogen-like effects without the side effects can actually improve bone density. Other studies show that bone loss can be slowed and some bone actually regrown with supplemental intakes of calcium and Vitamin D. Other studies also show that Vitamin C and magnesium can increase bone density.

When Dr. Andrew Weil appeared on The Larry King Live show last year, he recommended substituting herbal supplements for HRT. Studies in the National Library of Medicine show that the extract from an herb -- black cohosh -- is scientifically-proven to significantly reduce hot flashes.

SuperNutrition, a San Francisco Bay Area vitamin company, recently introduced the first women's multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and herb combination containing full potencies of all the natural alternatives to HRT, called The Menopause Multiple Blend.
