dōTERRA Phytoestrogen
Hormones influence virtually every function in a woman’s body. A balance of normal hormone levels will influence a woman’s good health and emotional well-being from her early teens to her transition through menopause. dōTERRA Women's Phytoestrogen Essential Complex is a blend of standardized plant phytoestrogens and whole food extracts that support hormone balance gently and naturally.* This dōTERRA supplement also includes a concentrated source of flaxseed lignans, which may help manage the by-products of estrogen metabolism.*
Stabilizing hormones begins with healthy lifestyle behaviors such as eating right and exercising, but additional nutritional supplementation such as Phytoestrogen Essential Complex can help reduce uncomfortable issues associated with PMS and the transition through menopause, and will provide additional support for healthy bones, heart, breast tissue, and other body structures and function as a woman ages.*
Taking one to two capsules of Phytoestrogen Essential Complex per day with meals will assist with proper endocrine system function for optimal wellness from puberty through the later stages of life.*
Phytoestrogen Essential Complex includes a potent soy extract shown to provide health benefits in women.* This soy extract is standardized for 64 percent isoflavone content and a minimum of 50 percent genistein, phytoestrogens that can bind with estrogen beta receptor cells to provide a number of health benefits. The increased estrogen-like activity provided by these phytoestrogens can help balance hormones and hormone metabolites, and keep them from binding to other cells.*
This supplement also contains a concentrated flax seed extract proven useful in managing potentially harmful estrogen metabolites.* Because hormones are metabolized in the liver, they create a host of bioactive metabolites. An imbalance in some of these metabolites may increase risk for a number of health concerns. The concentrated flax seed extract contained in Phytoestrogen Essential Complex can help maintain a healthy balance of these metabolites.*
Antioxidants support hormonal balance and are also important for overall health.* Phytoestrogen Essential Complex includes a standardized pomegranate extract that provides supplemental phytoestrogens and powerful antioxidant support.* The phytoestrogens contained in the pomegranate extract have a gentle estrogenic activity to help support hormone homeostasis.
Phytoestrogen Essential Complex is contained in all-natural sodium lauryl sulfate-free HPMC vegetables capsules.

FAQs
- At what age should a woman start using the Phytoestrogen Essential Complex?
- dōTERRA Women's Phytoestrogen Essential Complex is safe for use by women from early teens through all phases of life to balance hormones naturally. Phytoestrogens, such as those found in soybeans and in our dōTERRA Women's Phytoestrogen Essential Complex, have been shown to be protective and supportive of healthy bones, heart, breast tissue, and other body structures and functions as a woman ages.
- Is there such a thing as taking too much Phytoestrogen Essential Complex and becoming unbalanced?
- No. Research shows phytoestrogens don’t lower estrogen levels, but can help balance out the effects of estrogen produced by the body and support health as estrogen production declines post menopause.
- Is the Phytoestrogen Essential Complex formula truly a natural whole food supplement?
- Every ingredient in this product is derived from a whole food source. The genistein comes from whole soybeans, the lignin from flax seed, and the ellagic acid from pomegranate.
- Is Phytoestrogen Essential Complex non-GMO and gluten free?
- Yes, the Phytoestrogen Essential Complex is non-GMO and gluten free.
- Is there benefit for a man to take Phytoestrogen Essential Complex?
- The Phytoestrogen product is primarily targeted for women. However, Dr. Hill discussed at the dōTERRA 2013 Convention that although the predominant male sex hormone is testosterone, men still need estrogen and progesterone in low quantities for optimal physiological functioning. Estrogen overproduction can become a concern for men because fat cells produce estrogen and because of exogenous exposure to xenoestrogens. The purpose of the phytoestrogen supplement is to naturally help balance hormone levels and help the body deal with estrogen metabolism. Although men do not experience menopause or a monthly cycle, hormones still play a critical role in their optimal health. In this sense, men can benefit from taking this product.
