Cautions and Contraindications
* Because this formula aims to regulate women’s own ability to produce estrogen, menstruation may briefly return for some individuals in premenopausal or perimenopausal states. They should not be alarmed as this is part of the antiaging effect of this formula. However, if the patient notices abnormal or irregular bleeding, discontinue use and refer to a medical doctor for further testing.
* This formula is not recommended for lack of vaginal secretion due to radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunologic disorders.
* This herbal formula contains herbs that invigorate blood circulation, such as Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis). Therefore, patients who are on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies, such as Coumadin (warfarin), should use this formula with caution, or not at all, as there may be a higher risk of bleeding and bruising.
* The safety status of using Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) in individuals with hormone-dependent cancer is unclear. According to one reference, use of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) is not associated with thickening of the endometrium or vaginal cell maturation, both of which would indicate an estrogenic effect. Furthermore, there is no confirmation of the presence of a phytoestrogen component or effect on hormone-dependent cancer when ferulic acid is evaluated as the main component of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis). According to another reference, the water extract of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) has a weak estrogen-agonistic activity to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells (MCF-7). In summary, due to conflicting and insufficient data, use of Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) in patients with hormone-dependent cancer warrants caution pending further study.
