The Future of Menopause Care
Starts Here

On December 5th, the Estroven® brand will host the Empower Her Progress Event in Washington, D.C., bringing together healthcare professionals, advocates, and women to advance the conversation around menopause care. This important event will provide a platform to share stories, celebrate progress, and work toward a future with better education and resources for the millions of women navigating menopause.

The Estroven® brand is proud to support the White House Women’s Health Research & Innovation initiative, a groundbreaking effort to improve the health and well-being of women during midlife. This initiative aims to expand research, enhance symptom management, and provide more resources to help women better understand their options during perimenopause and menopause.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the primary treatment for managing menopause symptoms, however many women and HCPs are looking for complementary and alternative solutions. We believe women deserve to understand all of their clinically efficacious options. This includes access to drug-free, naturally-sourced botanical solutions.
To achieve this, we are collaborating with government leaders and experts to drive research that explores diverse solutions. By improving access to information and care, we aim to empower healthcare professionals and ensure women have the tools they need to navigate menopause with confidence.
