During menopause (around ages 45-55), a rapid decline in estrogen can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, mood swings, and decreased bone density. Consuming foods that support hormonal balance, such as isoflavones, maca, flaxseed, and pomegranate, can help alleviate these symptoms. Easily prepare daily hormone-balancing juices with Happilaff PC-2105.

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. Is it safe to consume isoflavones daily?
- For food-derived isoflavones, up to 70-75mg per day is considered safe (Japan Food Safety Commission). Since 200ml of soy milk contains approximately 25-50mg, 1-2 cups of soy milk smoothie per day should be fine. If combining with supplements, be mindful of the upper limit.
- Q2. Where can I buy maca powder?
- Maca powder can be purchased at health food stores, organic shops, Amazon, Rakuten, etc. Organic maca powder from Peru is considered to be of high quality. The recommended daily intake is 1-2 teaspoons (3-6g).
- Q3. Can menopausal symptoms be managed with juice alone?
- Mild symptoms may improve with a combination of dietary changes, exercise, and sleep management. However, for symptoms that interfere with daily life (severe hot flashes, insomnia, depression, etc.), always consult a gynecologist. A combination with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or herbal medicines may be effective.
