Thanks to its estrogen content, sage can help us alleviate gynecological problems, such as excessive menstruation. We can take it as an infusion or even add its leaves to salads.
Many women need hormonal regulators since they suffer imbalances related to the hormonal system and that especially affects their menstrual cycles.
We present 5 foods that we can include in our diet, as they will help us regulate our disorders, in addition to providing us with many other nutritional values.
These can be some of the natural hormonal regulators that you can use:
FIG
This delicious fruit regulates hormonal processes, irregularities in the uterus and in menstrual cycles. Therefore, it is also recommended to consume it regularly during menopause.
Its leaves, in addition, also contain many female hormones, so they can be prepared as an infusion for cases, for example, of polycystic ovaries.
The figs may be used fresh, smoothies and combined with yogurt or other desserts. We can also eat them dry, which can also be easily carried to take them mid-morning or mid-afternoon. One of its great properties is that figs are one of the fruits with the most fiber, so eating them is beneficial for the digestive system and for people suffering from constipation.
People suffering from obesity should not eat more than 3 a day, preferably in the morning.
bruise
The maca is one of the best hormonal regulators because it contains:
- Proteins
- Essential amino acids.
- Carbohydrates.
- Fibers
- Vitamins (B1, B2, B6…).
- Minerals like iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.
Among other properties, maca is a hormonal regulator at all levels (pituitary and hypothalamus). It alleviates problems of the menstrual cycles of the woman (dysmenorrhea or menstrual pains, discomfort during the period, discomfort during the menopause, etc.) in addition to improving some cases of infertility and libido problems in men and women.
How do we take it? We can get it in tablets or powder. It is recommended to start with a small amount and increase it because it is very energizing. The maintenance dose is 3 grams a day (approximately one teaspoon of mocha), but you can take up to 9 grams a day and it can be ingested mixed with juice.
Although some of its benefits can be noticed quickly, if we want it to have deeper effects as an endocrine regulator, it is recommended to take it for at least three months and then evaluate it together with a specialist. Keep in mind that it has long-lasting effects even after you stop taking it.
Beer yeast
The yeast is rich in zinc, which acts as a mineral natural hormonal regulator, and also promotes the synthesis of several hormones: thyroid, progesterone and testosterone.

In addition, it is an excellent natural supplement, since it has many other properties such as:
- Proteins and essential amino acids.
- High iron content.
- B vitamins.

Its best-known way of consuming it is in infusion or in the form of cream, but the flower petals can be consumed directly, and they give a nice touch of color to all kinds of dishes, such as salads or desserts.
