Unlocking Hormone Health: Finding Balance in a Busy World

In our fast-paced, always-on world, it's easy to ignore the quiet signals our bodies send us. We push through fatigue, brush off irritability, and blame brain fog on a poor night’s sleep. But what if these aren't just signs of being "too busy"? What if your body is telling you something deeper—something about your hormonal health?
Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that influence nearly every function in the body—from energy and mood to metabolism, sleep, and even digestion. When they're out of balance, which happens very easily, life can feel heavier, harder, and more overwhelming.
If you’re feeling out of sync, you're not alone—and you're not broken. Hormonal imbalance is something many of us experience, especially in today’s high-pressure, high-speed world. But healing is possible. You don’t have to keep pushing through.
Sometimes, the most compassionate thing you can do for yourself is to pause, listen, and begin gently supporting your body back to balance.
These tools—Symplex F, Symplex M, and Adrenal Complex—aren’t about a quick fix. They’re about helping your body remember how to function at its best.

Recognizing the Signs
Hormonal imbalances can show up in ways that are easy to dismiss—especially when they become your "normal." If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to look under the surface:
Fatigue or low energy
Mood swings or irritability
Weight gain or stubborn weight loss
Irregular or painful periods
Sleep disturbances
Low libido
Digestive discomfort
Brain fog or memory issues
Hot flashes or night sweats
Skin and hair changes
Increased thirst or urination
Chronic inflammation or aches and pains
These symptoms can stem from a wide range of causes: chronic stress, poor diet, thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, or even side effects of medication.
The common thread? The endocrine system—a network of glands like the adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, and reproductive organs—may be struggling to keep up.

Supplements in Hormone Support
Addressing hormone health doesn't have to mean drastic changes overnight. Often, it's about small, consistent shifts that support the body's ability to heal and regulate itself. And one of the most effective ways to do that is through targeted, high-quality supplementation.
Three powerful tools in the natural hormone health toolbox are:
Standard Process Symplex F (for women)
Standard Process Symplex M (for men)
MediHerb Adrenal Complex (for stress and adrenal support)
Let’s take a closer look at how these formulas work—gently and holistically—to help restore balance from the inside out.

Symplex F: A Gentle Reset for Women’s Hormonal Health
Introduced in 1965, Symplex F is a foundational supplement for supporting women’s endocrine health. It contains Protomorphogen (PMG) extracts from bovine ovary, adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid—organs that closely mirror our own hormone-producing glands.
These PMG extracts are unique—they provide targeted nutritional support that helps nourish and normalize function in specific glands. Think of it as giving your body the raw materials it needs to restore balance where it’s needed most.
Symplex F supports:
Hormonal rhythm and menstrual health
Adrenal and thyroid balance
Energy and metabolism
Mood stability and stress resilience
Overall vitality as we age
This supplement is especially supportive during transitions—such as perimenopause or postpartum—when hormone levels are shifting, and symptoms often become more pronounced.

Symplex M: Supporting Men’s Vitality and Hormonal Balance
Also introduced in 1965, Symplex M mirrors the formula of Symplex F but with one key difference: it contains bovine orchic PMG instead of ovary PMG, making it specifically suited for men’s health needs.
Symplex M supports:
Testosterone balance
Energy, stamina, and muscle tone
Stress resilience and adrenal support
Mental clarity and focus
Healthy aging and reproductive function
As men experience hormonal shifts—especially after the age of 40—having this kind of support can make a meaningful difference in quality of life and overall well-being.

MediHerb Adrenal Complex: Restoring Strength in Times of Stress
Whether you're male or female, chronic stress is one of the most common disruptors of hormonal balance. When stress becomes long-term, your adrenal glands can become depleted, leading to fatigue, poor sleep, and imbalanced cortisol levels.
MediHerb Adrenal Complex is a beautiful blend of two powerful herbal adaptogens: Licorice root and Rehmannia. These herbs have been used for centuries to restore strength and vitality in the face of stress and exhaustion.
Adrenal Complex supports:
Healthy adrenal gland function
Balanced stress response
Reduced fatigue and burnout
Improved stamina and mood
Better sleep and recovery
Adaptogenic herbs like these help your body adapt to the demands of modern life. When your adrenals are supported, your entire endocrine system functions more efficiently.

Supplement Support in Synergy
The beauty of these three supplements—Symplex F, Symplex M, and Adrenal Complex—is how they work together:
Symplex F or M helps nourish and rebalance the primary glands responsible for hormone production.
Adrenal Complex calms the chaos caused by chronic stress, supporting a more stable hormonal foundation.
Together, they create a comprehensive support system that’s rooted in nature and tailored to your body's own rhythms.
