Suggested RBC Life Sciences Supplementation for Hormonal Balance

Please see extended descriptions on Nanotechnology Supplements page or, if not listed there, on RBC Life Sciences website – must use Explorer: http://happy-healthy.rbclifesciences.com


Listed in order of most important, although all are important.

(For osteoporosis, see also MSM with Microhydrin, and
Joint Comfort if there’s a degenerative joint/spine disease or arthritis.)

(See also Natural Bio-identical Progesterone Cream at end – important.)

ColaVada Colon Cleanse – Estrogen is stored in the colon (and could contribute to estrogen dominance). Even if you’re taking supplements and making lifestyle changes to have a healthy, hormonally balanced body, your may have excessive storage of estrogen in the gut. Estrogen may linger in the colon for many years after eliminating dietary and environmental estrogens or discontinuing the use of birth control pills, patches, or estrogen replacement therapy. This colon cleanse is most effective when completed once to twice a year. A diet high in fiber, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and plenty of purified water will help maintain a healthy colon.

Microhydrin Plus (proven to recycle Vitamin C) This very powerful antioxidant alkalinizes our body’s pH, which is critical for maintaining a healthy environment for our cells. Our bodies need to reduce the surface tension of water we consume in order for nutrients to pass through cell walls, and for toxins to pass out of the cells. Microhydrin in water expedites this process. Microhydrin will neutralize the toxins without side effects when detoxing.

HydraCel - Drops of HydraCel placed in water convert toxic oxidizing agents, such as chlorine, into a safer, non-toxic form by increasing the pH (toward alkaline). Hydra-Cel reduces the surface tension of water to a level closer to our body fluid surface tension, which helps hydrate the cells, and assists in the transportation, wetness and absorption of food and supplements at the cellular level. Add one drop per ounce of liquid.

Stress Pack - The B-vitamins are essential for manufacturing blood, hormones, healthy nerve cells, and brain nutrition. Stress Pack is a perfect blend of the B vitamins, trace minerals, and essential nutrients, coming from whole food sources, that can help increase your energy and improve your mood. Complete vegetarian formula. The high levels of B vitamins, vitamin C and zinc found in Stress Pack can provide the adrenal and thymus glands with the resources needed for their important functions. Also, when supplementing with natural, bio-identical progesterone, best results may be achieved when progesterone (or Diosin or Diosin 2 - see below), is taken with B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, which is involved in the liver metabolism of estrogen and progesterone. Suggested use 3-6 tablets a day.

I.Q, a vegetarian source of DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, can help provide essential fatty acids needed daily. Low levels of Omega 3 fatty acids have been correlated with changes in disposition, memory loss, and visual and other neurological conditions.

Immune 360 – Glyconutrients, phytonutrients, polysachhrides and other immunoceuticals that have been proven to improve immune system function.

24/7 – The ultimate nutritional supplement coming from natures most nutritional organic foods. Scientifically combined to supply all recommended daily allowances. (A multiple vitamin/mineral.)

Exta-Cee contains vitamin C and alfalfa, the richest land source of trace minerals.

Diosin or Diosin 2 - These two unique products contain a concentrated extract from Wild yam which contains structured steroid compounds that are almost identical to the body’s natural hormone precursors.
Your body may be able to convert these precursor compounds in the liver to supply the adrenal glands with the necessary nutrients for production of progesterone, DHEA and other important hormones. Wild Yam may also help relieve the uncomfortable symptoms related to menstruation (PMS), peri-menopause, menopause, and androgen (male hormone) imbalances.

Diosin features an herbal combination of Wild Yam (Dioscorea), Cayenne (fruit), Ginger Root, and RBC NanoClusters. Diosin also has an added herbal combination of natural stimulants that Diosin-2 does not, which includes Guarana Seed, Green Tea, Ginseng, Schisandra fruit, Ashwaganda root, and Yerba Mate. Some may not want the effects of the added stimulants (such as those with caffeine sensitivities). Suggested use: One or two caplets in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Diosin 2 features an herbal combination of Wild Yam (Dioscorea), Cayenne (fruit), Ginger Root, Milk Thistle concentrate, Astragalus root, Ginko (leaf), bioflavinoids, aloe vera gel powder, and RBC NanoClusters.) Suggested use: One or two caplets in the morning and one in the afternoon.

100% Woman is an effective blend of herbs, vitamins and minerals designed to restore essential nutrients during a women’s monthly cycles. 100% Woman contains Spirulina – a source of complete protein and other nutrients. Many women report that Spirulina helps suppress their food cravings. 100% Woman is rich in B vitamins, which help balance moods and reduce water retention. It’s also high in vitamins C and E, both powerful anti-oxidants. Each pack provides iron, which is lost during the menstrual cycle. Adequate iron intake is necessary to carry oxygen to the blood cells and maintain energy levels. Calcium, zinc, and magnesium are included for their roles in maintaining bone strength, supporting proper nerve transmission, and aiding in the metabolism of nutrients.

Protivity (to gain muscle) is a 99 % absorbable vegetable source of protein. Hormones are either made from amino acids, or, like the steroid hormones, bound to amino acids in the bloodstream for transport throughout the body. Properly balanced amino acids are necessary for hormone production and transport, proper sleep, wakefulness, mood, muscle function and development, and are the supporting structure of every single cell in the body. Animal protein sources are hard to digest and give off harmful by-products that the liver and kidneys have to filter out of the body. In addition, most animal sources of protein are high in saturated fat. Protivity contains all of the amino acids, including those that are essential (meaning our body doesn’t make them and we need to get them from our diet) in a vegetable form that is easily digestible and again, 99% absorbable, compared to around 20% for meat sources. Take 3 to 5 tablets 30 minutes before each meal. (See also BioShape.)

BioShape, (to lose weight) a vegetable protein source of the highest quality vegetable source amino acids in addition to two Ayurvedic herbs that will help regulate metabolism, may be helpful in reaching protein goals while helping you lose weight. BioShape can be taken by itself for your protein needs or combined with Protivity. Take 3 to 5 tablets 30 minutes before each meal.

Spirulina - Blue-green algae (considered a “Super Food”), is one of the highest absorbable food sources of protein, chlorophyll, and beta-carotene, and also provides vitamins, including B12, highly bio-available iron, and trace minerals. It is 95% highly absorbable protein from plants. Spirulina is a rich source of GLA (gamma linolenic acid). GLA is a precursor for the body’s prostaglandins, the master hormones necessary for many essential body functions. Spirulina is available in either capsules (NanoClusters), tablets, or powder. Suggested use: as directed on label.

Green Phyto-Power is loaded with chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, cell salts, anti-oxidants, soluble fiber, essential amino acids and other phytonutrients (from plants).

MagiCal and/or Sango Coral Calcium provides calcium, magnesium and trace minerals from a natural marine deposit. RBC Life Science’s Sango Coral Calcium brings you the many benefits of coral minerals in a pure and highly bio-available form.

Coenzyme Q-10 is a naturally occurring enzyme found in many foods and in most living cells of your body. It’s essential for the production of energy at the cellular level. Ninety-five percent of the energy we need is produced inside each cell by the mitochondria. Coenzyme Q1-0 must be present within each cell for the mitochondria to function. (Important for Diabetes – see Diabetes section.)

Over 30 - new and improved formula. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is essential to the development of children, but after puberty, HGH secretion begins to decline. HGH is vital in slowing the aging process in adults because it contributes to increased energy, fat, protein and sugar metabolism, mental competence, DNA, tissue repair, strength, bone density, skin tone, and the immune and nervous systems. Another hormone, GHRH (Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone) controls the release of HGH but declines with age. Scientists have discovered a special form of the amino acid glycine that increases GHRH activity, thus increasing levels of HGH. Glycine is combined with selected herbs, vitamins, and minerals. This combination is designed to be most beneficial to men and women over 30 (hence the name!) to support the changes that start occurring as they age. It is also designed to balance the entire endocrine system, and is most beneficial to those who have multiple hormone imbalances or sleep disorders. Serving size: 1 scoop

Digestion Formula (Nanoclustered) A vegetarian source of digestive enzymes and probiotics to help improve the absorption of food and supply the colon with healthy bacteria. It is the most advanced and complete formula available to restore the body’s enzyme supply and intestinal flora. This formula helps reduce abdominal bloating and fat storage. When you receive more nutrition from your foods, you will have a higher energy level and a reduction in cravings for unhealthy foods, which will be especially helpful when hormonal changes occur.
Can also be very beneficial if you’re having gallbladder problems (or especially for surgically removed gallbladder), if you’ve been on anti-biotics or hormone replacement therapy, or have candida or repetitive yeast infections, allergies, arthritis, or acne.

10 Days of Chocolate can help keep blood sugar levels from dropping in between meals or can be a healthy, high protein meal replacement. This is an incredibly delicious drink that will help satisfy any chocolate cravings you may have due to hormonal imbalance, or just ANY chocolate craving, for that matter! It was designed to help people lose weight in 10 days following a plan of healthy meals and exercise, with the shake as a meal substitute at certain times. The CocoaCaps are a between meal product that helps control your appetite and also helps you burn calories even when you aren’t exercising. Both are low fat, low carbohydrate, and rich in flavanols (organic compounds found in cocoa that help burn fat and provide other health benefits). Also comes in Vanilla flavor. (Contains whey in addition to soy protein.)

Triple FX – Is a nutritional energy drink full of brain enhancing nutrients.

Vitamin E Clusters provides Vitamin E, B vitamins (pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin B6, B-complex), magnesium, and calcium.

Melatonin Plus provides Melatonin, a natural sleep aid and also a potent immune-enhancing hormone – use if you have a sleep disorder or seasonal affective disorder.

Artichoke NanoClusters improve bile flow from the liver, which helps promote the release of accumulated toxins.

Natural, Bio-identical Progesterone Cream (not provided by RBC Life Sciences at this time) should be USP grade from wild yams, and should provide the body with the correct levels of natural progesterone and plant based (phyto) estrogens for hormonal balance. In both women and men, progesterone declines with age. Progesterone cream may help reduce menopause and andropause symptoms. The use of progesterone cream may possibly help support fat loss. It may also help improve sexual desire and performance. Studies have shown that applying progesterone to you skin is more effective than taking it orally. Another benefit is that it helps tone tissue where applied. It has been shown to provide men with prostate support. It is recommended that men supplementing with progesterone cream also supplement with saw palmetto. Since every person’s biochemistry and ability to absorb and use progesterone cream are different, the actual dose will vary. Also, since natural progesterone is noted for its freedom from side effects, such latitude in dosing carries no risk, according to Dr. John R. Lee. Best results may be achieved when progesterone is taken with B vitamins, especially vitamin B6, which is involved in the liver metabolism of estrogen and progesterone.

It is recommended, but not always necessary, that you take a Saliva Hormone Test before beginning supplementation with progesterone. Avoid using progesterone cream or any other hormones or steroids you are currently taking prior to the test (with the advice of your physician and the lab where you’re obtaining the test), as they may alter the results of your test.

§ If you are taking some form of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), or hormone replacement therapy with an estrogen and progestin combination (HRT), you will need to check with your physician before beginning supplementation with progesterone.

§ Women not yet postmenopausal (menopause being the cessation of menses for at least one year), or those that are peri-menopausal (in the beginning stages of menopause), can use progesterone cream approximately two weeks per month. Dr. John R. Lee has suggested using the cream between day 12 and day 26 to approximate normal levels (day one being the onset of bleeding), although again, this may vary with each individual. Women can apply 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. on clean skin (alternate on breasts, inside arms, stomach, upper chest, neck, back of knees, bottoms of feet, palms, and vagina, alternating areas) morning and at bedtime. If sufficient progesterone is supplemented, estrogen dominance symptoms should subside.

§ Post menopausal women (women who have not had a period in over a year) not receiving estrogen supplementation may choose to select a dosage schedule based on the calendar month. The cream may be applied over a 14 to 21 day time period and then discontinued until the next month (i.e., use for up to three weeks and then off one week). Half the regular dose can be applied for the fourth week if you don’t want to discontinue altogether for that week. Women can apply 1/8 to 1/2 tsp. on clean skin (alternate on breasts, inside arms, stomach, upper chest, neck, back of knees, bottoms of feet, palms, and vagina, alternating areas) morning and at bedtime. If sufficient progesterone is supplemented, your estrogen dominance symptoms such as hot flashes should subside.

§ For menopausal women who do not begin supplementation until after a number of years of progesterone deficiency, and since much of this fat-soluble hormone will be initially lost in body fat, it may be wise to use a full two ounce monthly dose for three months or so to overcome the deficiency state. After this, dosage can usually be reduced.

§ Again, if you are taking some form of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), or hormone replacement therapy with an estrogen and progestin combination (HRT), you will need to check with your physician before beginning supplementation.

§ Men can apply 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. morning and night throughout the month on inside arms, stomach, upper chest, neck, back of knees, bottoms of feet, palms, and scrotum, alternating each day. As stated above, it is recommended that men supplementing with natural progesterone also supplement with saw palmetto.


Because of the potential for side effects, complications with other health issues, and interactions with medications, it is recommended that dietary supplements be taken under the supervision of a knowledgeable healthcare provider.

I had my first outbreak of Herpes virus nearly 4 years ago. Of all the horridness, the pain and itching were unbearable. I literally freaked out as my general physician said that it had no cure. The outbreaks were not that frequent initially, but every time I fall sick, it would resurface. I had so many sores this year that I was desperate to try anything to get rid of them. Three months ago a friend suggested that I try Dr sikama remedy that's helping people get cured from HSV, COUGHING, HIV&AIDS, GENITAL HERPES, SNEEZING, HEPATITIS B, CANCER e.t.c. I quickly ordered the product and started using the remedies. I'm so relieved to say that I've not had even one outbreak for a whole month now. Moreover, I'm feeling great from within. I truly endorse this herbs product Dr sikama render to me. So if you are suffering from any deadly disease you can also contact this great man on his email: Drsikama@gmail.com call/WhatsApp:+2348130725051
