As age-50 approached, I was totally convinced that my bouts with the menopause night sweats, weight gains, and moodiness were going to be extra light in comparison to my friends and my happiness-level was running on ‘high’. By age-55, I was completely miserable with night-sweats, day-sweats, memory troubles, a loss of energy, and a weight gain that was simply astronomical considering the fact that I had given up eating all but the barest of meals. Menopause had hit me harder than most and I felt depressed.

While suffering through this indignation, my mind was constantly on the possibility of our family problems with Osteoporosis – that honeycombed bone disease that often creeps up on the smaller-boned people like me during the onslaught of our menopause years. Along with my worries about bone degeneration and muscle-loss were my thoughts about the possibility of heart attacks as well.

I knew that I did not want to chance the health complications that often follow the menopause hormone replacement therapies, and all of the HRT menopause relief possibilities were crossed-off of my mental list almost instantly before the thoughts were formed. Instead, I started reading about the natural methods that some people are using to ward off or delay the Osteoporosis symptoms that show-up after the menopause years start and I became fascinated with the Japanese studies on the benefits of pomegranate.

The pomegranate fruit has estrogen-like chemicals in it that appear to be encouraging bone growth in mice. In 2004, a study was done on mice that had their ovaries removed. The ovaries are responsible for producing the estrogen that is needed for bone growth. After the mice had their ovaries removed, they were treated with pomegranate extracts and their bone-mass was recorded. Pomegranate extracts increased bone-mass and reduced the symptoms of depression in the Japanese mouse studies.

After reading about the benefits of pomegranate, I decided to try a natural menopause treatment product called ‘Don’t Pause’ that has pomegranate and green tea in it. This product comes in a capsule form, and one or two capsules are taken every day. Like most natural menopause remedies that are sold without a prescription, the Don’t Pause menopause product took about a week or ten days before I started to notice some beneficial changes starting to take place in my body.

Don’t Pause somehow increases the body lubricating fluids in the eyes, vagina, and sweat glands in a way that reduces the sudden hot flashes to compensate. In other words, the liquids in my body were back to functioning normally without the hot flashes or day sweats to worry about. As my body began to feel better, my depression and anxiety over my situation began to fade, and I noticed my memory returning to normal as well.

My weight started to go back to normal over time as I continued to take this pomegranate and green tea menopause remedy. Don’t Pause has Chromium Picolinate in it that helps in weight loss efforts, and when this chemical is coupled with the natural pomegranate weight loss benefits the overall effects of the Don’t Pause product are awesome.

For people who are using the pomegranate extracts to battle Osteoporosis, the pomegranate extracts must be taken daily from after the menopause symptoms start and gong forward from there. Don’t Pause is a natural menopause symptom relief that is marketed for women from age-40 to 100. It fits right into the criteria-schedule that some of us pomegranate and green tea lovers are following.
