Menocease contains scientifically proven Piperine to increase the absorption and uptake of isoflavones in the body. Its not how many supplements you take into your body but more importantly how much you absorb and use

Nutrition and health conscious consumers in the West had learned to avoid harmful ingredients like fat, cholesterol, sodium and unwanted additives even a decade ago. But in recent times they seem to have modified the emphasis on seeking out positive health giving ingredients. In this respect, active principles of spices like pepper can play a significant role.The active principle in black pepper is Piperine. Piperine, a compound, stimulates the body's natural ability to generate heat and assists in the absorption of nutritional supplements1. 1Nutritional Journal. Biochem. (2000) 11: 109-113

Casual thought gives the impression that if you take more of a nutrient, more will be available for use by the body. Biologically speaking, this is not always true. Some nutrients at higher doses actually negate the benefit and absorption of other nutrients. Ideally, more from less is best. Similar reasoning could lead one to believe that if the source of Piperine is found in black pepper, all one needs to do is increase their consumption of black pepper to achieve enhanced nutrient absorption. Again, this is not true.

Excluding disease, the window of opportunity for nutrient absorption is limited by time. If Piperine were to remain captive in the form of raw black pepper, its bioavailability enhancing properties would be liberated much too late to have any effect on nutrient absorption. A purified extract of Piperine is necessary for this. The most comprehensive food supplement product with purified extract of Piperine is Menocease from Lotus Medics. Not only does it contain Piperine extract, but also Soya Isoflavones and Red Clover for women passing through the menopause stage.
