A woman's body is a unique, balanced organism that constantly changes at different stages of life. Two hormones - estrogen and progesterone - control the state of women's health: from the onset of menarche, during pregnancy and childbirth, and up to menopause.
Estrogen is synthesized in the ovaries from the age of 8-9, and the amount of secretion reaches its peak in the mid-30s. After that, ovarian function declines, estrogen levels gradually decrease, and after 40 they sharply drop.
Research and Statistics
๐ก According to research, a decrease in estrogen levels affects not only the reproductive system but the entire body as a whole. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism confirms: after age 45, the risk of cardiovascular disease in women increases by 2–3 times precisely due to hormonal changes. Japanese scientists from Kyoto University also note that a sharp drop in estrogen accelerates collagen loss — skin loses elasticity within the first two years after the onset of menopause. That is why the practice of gentle phytocorrection of hormonal levels is so widespread in Japan, long before pronounced symptoms appear.
Why Is It Important to Maintain Hormonal Balance?
Estrogen synthesis begins in the ovaries at 8–9 years old, peaking at 30–35 years. After 40, its level sharply decreases, which can lead to:
- Changes in bone structure and increased risk of osteoporosis.
- Problems with memory, concentration, and cognitive functions.
- Deterioration of skin condition, reduced firmness and hydration.
- Mood swings, irritability, insomnia.
A decrease in estrogen levels triggers aging processes, so it is important to support hormonal balance in a timely manner.
Expert opinion
๐ Dr. Keiko Tanaka, a gynecologist with 30 years of experience at the "Midori" clinic in Tokyo, comments: "In my practice, I increasingly see women who are afraid of hormone therapy due to cancer risks. And this is justified — synthetic hormones are not suitable for everyone. But leaving a woman alone to deal with the symptoms of menopause is also not an option. Phytocomplexes based on traditional Japanese Kampo medicine offer a balanced alternative. They work gently but systematically: rather than replacing the hormones, they help the body regulate them naturally."
What is Usually Prescribed for Women During Menopause?
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) – an effective but not always safe method. Incorrect dosage can lead to side effects, including oncological diseases.
- Lack of support – in many cases, women are simply advised to "wait it out", while unpleasant symptoms interfere with normal life.
- Herbal medicine (Phytotherapy) – in Japan, this is one of the key methods for supporting women's health. Natural complexes, such as Kobayashi Mother of Life, help regulate hormone levels naturally.
The Japanese Approach to Women's Health
In Japan, menopause occurs at the age of 50–55, and only by 60–70 for some women. Why is that? The secret of Japanese women is a balanced diet and supporting the body with natural phytocomplexes.
Comparison with the Western Approach
๐ก Unlike Western medicine, where menopause is often perceived as a disease requiring treatment, Japanese tradition regards this stage as a natural transition. According to a survey by the Japanese Ministry of Health, only 8% of Japanese women take synthetic hormonal drugs during menopause. The rest prefer a diet rich in soy products (isoflavones act as natural phytoestrogens) and herbal complexes. Moreover, the frequency of severe menopausal symptoms in Japanese women is 2 times lower than in European women — a fact repeatedly confirmed by studies published in the journal Menopause.

Expert opinion
๐ Dr. Yuki Takahashi, postmenopausal health specialist at Keio University Hospital: "After 55, we no longer try to 'wake up' the ovaries — it's useless. But we can support the bones, blood vessels, and nervous system, which suffer from estrogen deficiency. Purple 'Mother of Life' works exactly like that: gently, without hormonal load, but with tangible results. My patients note that after a month of taking it, the 'cotton-like' feeling in the body disappears, making it easier to move and think more clearly."
Reviews and recommendations
โ๏ธ Marina, 48: "I suffered from hot flashes for two years — up to 10 times a night. A friend living in Japan recommended the Red 'Mother of Life'. Honestly, I didn't believe some herbs could help. But within a month, the hot flashes were halved, and after three months, I forgot about them. Thank you, Japanese wisdom."
โ๏ธ Elene, 37: "After my second birth, my cycle went haywire, my period came every 40-50 days, plus terrible headaches. My gynecologist was helpless. I decided to try the white version. After two months, my cycle normalized to 32 days, and my headaches stopped. Now I take it regularly in courses."
โ๏ธ Irene, 58: "I took the Red 'Mother of Life' for about three years, and it helped me a lot with hot flashes. But when they passed, I was left with some kind of fatigue, my legs ached by the evening, and my joints hurt. The gynecologist said — it's your age, get used to it. But I decided to try the purple version, which is just right for my age. After a month, it really became easier to get up in the morning, and I had more energy. Now I take it in courses — I feel ten years younger."
