A Phase 2, Open Label Clinical Trial Assessing Safety and Efficacy of Dr. Tagliaferri's Menopause Formula for Hot Flushes and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 12 weeks of
treatment of 4 grams/day of Dr. Tagliaferri's Menopause Formula (administered as 2 grams PO
BID) in reducing the frequency of menopausal vasomotor symptoms among healthy,
postmenopausal women, aged 40-65, with moderate to severe hot flushes.

screening for estrogen pellet therapy or progestin injectable drug therapy.
16. Use of herbal or dietary supplements purported to treat hot flushes or herbal/dietary
supplements with known estrogenic or progestogenic activity within 2 weeks of
