Auragens has been at the forefront of supporting health and wellness from acute injury to chronic disease states to aging issues. Here we wanted to address an issue that is often viewed as an “inevitable time of misery” to quote one famous researcher: Menopause. While affecting each woman differently, menopause rarely passes unnoticed but there is much more that can be done to ease this transition.
Auragens and our human mesenchymal stem cell (hu-MSC) treatments offer promising potential to address menopause-related symptoms and complications by targeting the underlying biological changes that occur during this transition. Here’s how hu-MSCs can help:
1. Hormonal Regulation
-
Estrogen Support: Menopause is marked by a significant decline in estrogen levels, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone loss. MSCs have been shown to support ovarian function and potentially stimulate hormone production, which may help mitigate these effects.
2. Bone Health
-
Osteoporosis Prevention: Estrogen decline contributes to decreased bone density and increased fracture risk. MSCs can differentiate into bone-forming osteoblasts and release factors that promote bone regeneration, helping to counteract osteoporosis.
3. Immune Modulation
-
Reducing Inflammation: Menopause often leads to a state of chronic low-grade inflammation, contributing to conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular disease. MSCs have potent immunomodulatory properties that can reduce inflammation and restore immune balance.
4. Tissue Repair and Regeneration
-
Reversing Vaginal Atrophy: Vaginal atrophy, a common symptom of menopause, involves thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls. MSCs can promote tissue repair, improve hydration, and restore elasticity by enhancing collagen production and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).
-
Skin Rejuvenation: MSCs can improve skin elasticity and hydration, addressing menopause-related skin changes.
5. Cardiovascular Health
-
Reducing Risk: Declining estrogen levels are linked to increased cardiovascular risk. MSCs can improve vascular health by promoting the repair of endothelial cells, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow.
6. Mental Health and Cognitive Function
-
Mood and Brain Health: Menopause can be associated with mood disorders, anxiety, and cognitive decline. MSCs may help by reducing neuroinflammation and enhancing neurogenesis, potentially improving mood and cognitive function.
7. Fatigue and Energy Levels
-
Metabolic Support: MSCs can help regulate metabolic processes, combat fatigue, and improve overall energy levels by reducing inflammation and promoting better cellular function.
