Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study product on vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and overall menopause symptoms in healthy women, who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal, and aged 40 - 65.


Clinical Trial Description

Menopause is characterized by the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. It is a natural phase in which a women's menstrual cycles permanently cease, with the transition often beginning around 51 years of age or older. Although menopause can be induced through procedures such as bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy and other medications, it most commonly occurs with the natural loss and depletion of ovarian follicles through aging. Common symptoms of menopause include changes in vaginal health and sexuality, loss of bladder control, changes in mood, decreased sleep quality, changes in body composition, and vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), which include hot flashes and night sweats, occur in women at or around the time of menopause. Most women will experience these symptoms during the years surrounding their final menstrual period; however, there are some women that report VMS that persist for decades. The pathogenesis of VMS has not been fully understood, but the pathways involving estrogen, norepinephrine, and serotonin are hypothesized to cause altered homeostatic thermoregulatory mechanisms. VMS can have a negative impact on quality of life by disrupting both sleep and mood.4 About one-third of women in the United States are older than 50 years of age, the typical age of onset. Approximately 75% of women in this age group (i.e., 40 to 50 million currently) will experience hot flashes. Treatments for VMS range significantly from prescription medications to over-the-counter therapies (non-prescription) to lifestyle modifications. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) still remains the most common and effective treatment. Hormone replacement therapy, using estrogen or estrogen-progestin-containing products, reduces the frequency and severity of hot flashes by 75-79%. Although hormone replacement therapy is generally well tolerated, it has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Due to this concern, it is recommended to use hormone replacement therapy for the shortest duration and lowest dose possible, based on individual circumstances and needs. Additionally, many healthcare practitioners and patients seek alternative solutions to HRT for personal and medical reasons. Alternatives to HRT vary from hypnosis and dietary supplements, including vitamin E, black cohosh, and phytoestrogens, all which drastically differ in their VMS mitigation effectiveness. There is a need for an effective and safe treatment of VMS for menopausal women, and dietary supplements may fill this role. The SP for this study is Bonafide Health's Bonafide-HF3.0. Bonafide-HF3.0 contains green tea extract (GTE), curcumin, and phycocyanin sourced from Spirulina "Blue-Green" algae. This double-blind placebo-controlled (DBPC) study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Bonafide-HF3.0 on vasomotor symptoms and overall menopausal symptoms in healthy women, aged 40-65, who are perimenopausal and menopausal. ;
