Climacterium is a series of physical and mental symptoms occurring in women and men due to decreased levels of sex hormones. Women lose the ability to become pregnant due to decreased ovarian estrogen production; the initial symptom being hot flushes. In addition, urogenital atrophy, sexual dysfunction, mood changes, and osteoporosis occur. Extracts of Stauntonia hexaphylla (SH) and Vaccinium bracteatum (VB) fruits, with a wide range of biological activities, are widely used in traditional herbal medicine.
