MDS: Beauty and Health of Women in Mature Age

A decrease in oestrogen levels during menopause leads to disruptions in a woman's body — from hot flashes and emotional lability to an increased risk of osteoporosis. MDS from Project V contains the essential components for alleviating symptoms and maintaining long-term health and quality of life.

Menopause is a natural stage of life that requires a comprehensive approach. It is important to view it not as an isolated event, but as part of a continuous process. Its course is influenced by baseline health, reproductive history, and lifestyle.

In most women, this period occurs between the ages of 45 and 56.

The average age of natural menopause is 51 years

. Given that life expectancy continues to rise, approximately 40% of a woman's life is spent in postmenopause — more than 30 years for most women.

According to statistics cited in a 2023 article by American scientists

, more than 80% of women overall experience menopausal symptoms, and 75–80% most commonly face vasomotor symptoms, which may include hot flashes, night sweats, rapid heartbeat, and migraines.

A Complex of Phytoestrogens, Vitamins and Minerals

In modern practice of supporting women's health during age-related changes, nutraceuticals occupy an important place as a proven complementary component of therapy.

One such effective complex for supporting women's health is MDS from Project V, which combines vitex agnus-castus fruit extract, soy isoflavones, as well as vitamins and minerals aimed at alleviating menopausal syndrome symptoms, normalising hormonal balance, and preserving beauty and activity.

Vitex Agnus-Castus Extract

Vitex agnus-castus, also known as chaste tree, has traditionally been used in medicine to regulate the female reproductive system. The first mentions of the therapeutic use of Vitex agnus-castus appear in the works of Hippocrates as an anti-inflammatory remedy and in the works of Dioscorides, where its effective properties in uterine bleeding are described. Later, in medieval Europe, vitex was used to treat disorders of the reproductive system.

Today, modern pharmacological studies show that vitex extract helps reduce symptoms of PMS and menopausal syndrome (irritability, mood swings, headaches), normalises the menstrual cycle in perimenopause, and helps reduce the frequency of hot flashes.

A study published in the

Journal of Women's Health & Gender-Based Medicine

showed that taking vitex for 3 months reduced PMS symptoms in 93% of women (1,634 participants). Additionally, 94% of participants also rated treatment tolerability as good or very good.

Vitex acts on the hypothalamo-pituitary system, stimulating the production of luteinising hormone (LH) and suppressing the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which promotes the balance of progesterone and oestrogens — the two main female sex hormones that play an important role in the proper development and functioning of the female reproductive system.

In a placebo-controlled study in 2017

, vitex extract reduced the frequency of hot flashes by 45% in perimenopausal women compared to the control group. The results show that the use of vitex agnus-castus extract as a phytoestrogenic agent can relieve menopausal symptoms in women.

Calcium: Its Role in a Woman's Body

Maintaining normal calcium levels in mature women is critically important for preventing osteoporosis and fractures, as well as for reducing potential cardiovascular risks.

On average, women lose about

1% of bone mineral density per year after menopause

. During this period, the decrease in oestrogen levels leads to accelerated bone loss, bone fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporosis, which, according to available data, affects approximately 30% of postmenopausal women.

Calcium is a key mineral for maintaining bone density, and

its recommended daily intake for women over 50 is 1,200 mg

to reduce postmenopausal bone loss.

The MDS nutraceutical formula uses calcium in the form of bisglycinate — a modern chelated form with proven superiority in terms of bioavailability and tolerability.

Calcium bisglycinate is a modern chelated form in which the mineral is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Conventional calcium forms are absorbed at only 15–40%, whereas bisglycinate is absorbed at 70–80% thanks to its structure, which requires no additional transformation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Soy Isoflavones and Menopause: Do They Help Relieve Symptoms?

Isoflavones are natural compounds from the phytoestrogen group that structurally resemble the female hormone oestradiol. They are found in soybeans and their products (tofu, soy milk, miso) and can gently influence oestrogen receptors in the body.

These compounds are often used as a safer alternative to hormone replacement therapy.

In 2017, a study was conducted in India

involving 50 women, 29 of whom were in perimenopause and 21 in postmenopause. For 12 weeks, they took 100 mg of soy isoflavones per day. The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) — a specialised scale evaluating hot flashes, psychological state, and urogenital problems — was used to assess symptoms.

At the end of the supplementation period, overall symptom severity decreased by 19.55% in perimenopausal women and by 12.62% in postmenopausal women. The study showed that soy isoflavones can alleviate menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes and psycho-emotional disorders.

MDS from Project V: A Modern Solution for Supporting the Health of Mature Women

Thanks to the synergy of vitex extract, calcium, and soy isoflavones, the MDS nutraceutical helps reduce the manifestations of menopausal syndrome, strengthen bone tissue, preserve skin youthfulness, and maintain overall vitality.
