How ginger works in menopause
- Serotonin modulation: modulates 5-HT2A and 5-HT3 receptors, involved in thermoregulation and hot flashes
- Adaptogen: stabilizes the HPA axis stress response, reduces cortisol peaks
- Mild phytoestrogenic effect: slight affinity for ER-beta receptors — relief without the risks of HRT
- Anti-inflammatory joints: helpful for accelerated ginger osteoarthritis after menopause
Ginger protocol for menopause
- Dose: 500 mg twice a day (= 1 INTI shot morning + 1 shot afternoon)
- Duration: effects noticeable from 8 weeks
- Combination: phytoestrogens (soy, red clover) + regular exercise
