As women approach the transitional time of perimenopause, their hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate which can lead to symptoms as varied as changes in mood, energy, sleep disturbance, and hot flashes.

An adaptogenic plant called Maca has been used for centuries to help women with symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. A useful botanical approach for addressing symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Maca is very nutritious, and is a great source of several important vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, Copper, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin B6, and Manganese.

Monitoring magnesium levels through blood tests can be particularly relevant. Make sure you get enough magnesium through your diet + supplements.

It is not naturally produced by our bodies but it affects everything from muscle function to mood regulation.

Magnesium Glycinate by Akasha Naturals offers superior absorption than the conventional magnesium formulas.

“We were amazed how the smallest change could create such a massive result. We learned how to “listen to our gut” and eat only until we felt satisfied, instead of until we were stuffed. We soon began feeling more in control of our eating habits; and that automatically helped us to raise our self-esteem, which lead to raising our overall confidence and joy.!” - Ryan and Cliff - Reset Program testimonial

NAD helps keep the brain in top condition by rejuvenating and restoring brain function by boosting proteins, anti-aging naturally occurring proteins that slow the effects of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline. Working as a team, NAD and these proteins protect against toxicities in the body and improve the brain cell’s ability to fight stress and brain inflammation.

This damaging “brain inflammation” has been linked to degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. An impressive body of research has shown that protecting brain cells from inflammatory damage preserves neuronal stress resistance and plasticity – the ability of the brain to adapt to changing environments.

NAD IV treatments can help maintain mental clarity and focus and protect mental clarity against neurodegenerative diseases for a happier quality of life.

At Akasha, we utilize intravenous (IV) vitamin and nutrient drips to help support the body during times of stress, exhaustion, and acute or chronic illness.
