Femular® (Ze 450) is a natural medicine that is clinically proven to relieve a wide range of menopausal symptoms.^1-3 It is manufactured in Switzerland by Zeller AG, a herbal medicine company with over 130 years of experience in the research and production of natural medicines. Now Femular is also available as an EXTRA STRENGTH formulation, Femular FORTE that is suitable for those suffering from moderate to severe menopausal symptoms.

What is Femular used for?

Femular and Femular Forte contain a specific extract of Actaea racemosa (Ze 450) that has been shown to assist in the symptomatic relief of a wide range of menopausal symptoms.

Menopausal symptoms can include:
* Hot flushes
* Sweating
* Sleep disturbances
* Nervousness, irritability
* Dizziness
* Lack of concentration
* Joint pain
* Headache

Safety & efficacy

Clinical trials have demonstrated that women using Femular have a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms. Some treatments used for menopausal symptoms may cause health concerns due to their oestrogenic action. Femular does not exert a direct oestrogenic effect.⁴ Femular is very well tolerated, with no report of serious adverse effects and no association with liver problems.⁵

Femular's unique formulation

Femular is an extract of Actaea racemosa that has been clinically proven, it is the exact product used in clinical trials. This is very important for natural medicines as there can be great variance between products, even if they appear to use the same active ingredients, due to the plant that is used, growing methods, harvesting processes and manufacturing methods. The outcomes of clinical studies for natural medicines may therefore only apply to the exact product that has been tested. As a result, other Actaea racemosa extracts or products cannot be expected to deliver the same results that Femular has demonstrated in the research.

Femular has shown a dose dependent effect. This means if you are suffering from moderate to severe symptoms then extra strength Femular Forte** may be more suitable. Femular Forte contains the same Actaea racemosa extract as Femular only twice the amount in 1 tablet.

**1 tablet of Femular Forte is equivalent to 2 tablets of Femular.

Directions & dosage

Once daily at first sign of menopausal symptoms.
For mild symptoms: Femular 1 tablet daily.

Improvement in symptoms after 1 month with a significant reduction in symptom severity after 3 months and continuing for a further 6 months.

Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, or the condition recurs, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional.
