MAP Policy

Maximum Advertised Price Policy

Effective August 2019

 As a condition of being an authorized dealer or distributor of Symphony Natural Health (“SNH”) products, whether brick and mortar, catalog or internet retailer (a “reseller”), the reseller shall comply with all of the following terms and conditions. Failure to do so will result in termination of status as a reseller of SNH products.

MAP Policy Terms and Conditions:

• MAP Policy. The reseller shall comply with the Maximum Advertised Price (“MAP”) policy that SNH maintains for its products. The MAP policy is applicable to all SNH resellers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central or South America.

• Advertised Price. The MAP policy applies to all advertisements for any SNH products in any and all media, including, but not limited to newspapers, magazines, catalogues, flyers, coupons, posters, mailers, inserts, email, internet and like electronic media, radio, television, billboards and all public displays. The MAP policy applies to the price at which SNH products are ADVERTISED for sale to individual consumers.

• MSRP. The MAP policy establishes a maximum and minimum advertised price equal to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”). The MSRP is set by SNH as indicated by current published pricing supplied by SNH. The advertised price for any SNH product (whether or not the advertised price includes a discount) must be equal to the MSRP, unless pre-approved in writing by a National Sales Manager at SNH. SNH retains the right to modify the MSRP at any time and will notify all resellers of such price modifications. All resellers must implement such modifications within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice.

• Sales Price. The MAP policy does not apply to or limit actual sales price. Actual sales price for SNH product is within the reseller’s discretion.

• Affiliated resellers. Multiple reseller accounts under different business names or d/b/a’s, but under the control of a common parent corporation or other common owner(s), will be subject to the MAP policy. The reseller shall identify to SNH, in writing, all such affiliated resellers.

• Violation & Termination. A violation of the MAP policy is grounds for SNH to immediately terminate the reseller’s relationship with SNH and authorization to resell SNH products. Upon termination of a reseller’s relationship with SNH and authorization to resell SNH products, SNH shall repurchase, at the reseller’s cost, all SNH products that remain in merchantable condition (as determined by SNH in its reasonable discretion) less 20% restocking fee. The cost of return shipping for such product shall be borne by the reseller.

• General Terms & Conditions. General Terms & Conditions applicable to all resellers are set forth below.

• Acceptance: The reseller shall inspect all product delivered within two (2) days of delivery. If, in the course of such inspection, any of the product is found to be defective, the reseller may, within three (3) days of delivery, reject same by notifying SNH in writing thereof and returning such defective product to SNH. The cost of such return shall be borne by SNH, but in no event shall SNH be responsible for any amounts in excess of such cost. Upon receipt of such returned defective product, SNH shall, at its option, replace such returned defective product with product that is not defective or refund (or credit) the purchase price paid by the reseller therefor. If the reseller has not timely given notice of rejection and returned product as aforesaid (hereafter collectively, “notice of rejection”), the product shall be deemed accepted.

• Payment: The reseller shall pay all amounts due upon receipt of the applicable SNH invoice, except with respect to product for which notice of rejection is timely given pursuant to the Acceptance clause above. Payment shall be deemed made on the date SNH receives same. Commencing thirty (30) days after date of invoice, interest shall accrue at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the unpaid balance, except with respect to amounts invoiced on account of product for which notice of rejection is timely given pursuant to the Acceptance clause above.

• Warranty & Liability: SNH warrants that the product shall be merchantable. SNH makes no other warranty, express or implied, including but not limited to any warranty of fitness for particular purpose or any similar or other warranty. In no event shall SNH be liable to the reseller for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. In the event of a breach of warranty by SNH, SNH’s liability shall be limited to the purchase price paid by the reseller for the product that gave rise to such breach.

• Compliance with Laws: The reseller agrees to comply fully with all applicable federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including but not limited to laws and regulations concerning the retail sale of the product.

• Shipping and Risk of Loss: SNH shall cause the product to be shipped to the reseller. The reseller shall be liable for the cost of shipment.

All claims and disputes between SNH and the reseller relating to the purchase or sale of SNH products, or otherwise, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall be in San Francisco, CA, before a single neutral arbitrator selected by the Association and approved by the parties (provided, no party may disapprove more than two proposed arbitrators). SNH shall be entitled to recover its attorney fees and costs incurred in enforcing the foregoing terms and conditions and any related invoice. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be confidential, final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If any provision herein is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

• Amendment: SNH reserves the right to amend the foregoing terms and conditions upon 15 days written notice to the reseller at any time.

• Entire Agreement: The foregoing terms and conditions, and any invoice(s) relating to the sale of SNH products to the reseller, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior representations or agreements, oral or otherwise, with respect thereto.

Did you know that for every year extra a woman continues to have a menstrual cycle, her risk of cardiovascular disease decreases by 1%?(1)

 

A focus on heart health

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an “umbrella term” that includes all diseases of the heart (cardio) and vessels (vascular), such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarctions (heart attack), and stroke. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, accounting for 50% of all cases as of 2023 (2), a drastic increase from previous reporting in 2021 in which heart disease accounted for one in every five deaths, as reported by the CDC. While many factors contribute to heart disease, such as smoking, physical inactivity, excess weight, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption, there is a clear distinction in the increased rate of CVD in postmenopausal women, including those who (2,3):  

  • Are 55 years and older
  • Experience premature onset of menopause (cessation of menses) before 40 years of age 
  • Experience early menopause between 40 and 45 years of age
  • Undergo surgical menopause (bilateral oophorectomy, regardless of if the uterus has been removed)

In addition, women who have vasomotor symptoms, sleep disorders, and depression also show an increased risk for CVD (2).

Cardiovascular disease is not just the number one cause of death in men and women 65 and older in the United States, but it is also a leading factor in deteriorating quality of life (4). Inefficient blood flow can occur, which leads to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues throughout the body, causing low energy and reduced endurance. Compromised cardiovascular health can also impact sexual health and put an end to many activities, travel, and experiences in your patient’s lives that bring them joy. 

Abnormal lab results can include high total cholesterol, (oxidized) LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and/or insulin levels, and decreased HDL cholesterol, including HDL fractions. Lipoprotein(a) cholesterol levels may also increase, putting arteries at risk. For more details on laboratory testing, see the blog called 4 Steps for Cardiovascular Health Prevention Using Laboratory Assessments

How does the loss of hormones impact cardiovascular disease?

Changes in lipids: The loss of hormones post-menopause results in the acceleration of increases in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides, while reductions of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) can also occur (2,5). 

Changes in lipids lead to coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis (the narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup caused by fat, cholesterol, and calcium). It is reported that the protective effects of estrogens on the atherosclerotic process are the main reason women develop CVD 7-10 years later than men (2). 

Additionally, the hormone changes due to menopause likely directly affect the blood vessels, increasing pro-clotting factors and inflammation, decreasing blood flow, increasing vasoconstriction, and increasing circulating levels of nitric oxide and prostaglandins (2).

Glucose and insulin dysregulation: Postmenopausal women are at increased risk for metabolic syndrome, glucose dysregulation, weight gain, and central adiposity—all known risk factors for CVD (2).

Changes in heart rate and palpitations: Menopause is also associated with increased heart rate and palpitations, with 42% of perimenopausal and 54% of postmenopausal women experiencing this symptom (6). These symptoms may not be a sign of cardiac distress but rather a symptom of anxiety or stress (6), which are also known contributors to CVD.

The role of hormones in cardiovascular health:

  • Estradiol helps to maintain the elasticity of arteries and blood vessels (7).
  • Estradiol activates the gene responsible for the activity of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (8). HDL helps transport cholesterol from the blood to the liver and other organs. 
  • Estradiol aids in the reduction of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and may also act as an antioxidant (9,10). 
  • Estradiol acts as an insulin sensitizer (11). As cells become resistant to insulin, blood glucose rises, increasing diabetes and heart disease risk. 
  • Progesterone helps protect arteries from spasms (12). 
  • The adrenal hormone cortisol affects sleep, energy, hair growth, muscle growth, and weight. Adrenal dysregulation and the biological effects of stress, mediated by hormones produced in the adrenal glands, play a significant role in obesity and its consequences, including inflammation, insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and other conditions constituting metabolic syndrome (13,14).
  • Thyroid hormones impact the metabolic rate (15).

Supporting hormones and heart health naturally

The clinical research on FemmenessencePRO (Maca-GO®) in peri and post-menopausal women provides insight into improving hormone levels and positively impacting multiple cardiovascular risk factors. 

FemmenessencePRO supports the body’s production of hormones, including estrogen (helping to maintain the elasticity of the arteries and blood vessels) and progesterone (protecting the arteries from spasms). Of note, when estradiol levels improved to an optimal level, based on that woman’s biological age, these levels plateaued, meaning levels were not increased to abnormally high or inappropriate for their age.

Further, the clinical trials demonstrated improvements in triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, body weight, and blood pressure.

Concluding Thoughts

Hormones, specifically balanced hormones, are essential to heart health in peri and post-menopausal women. However, many other factors must be assessed and treated as part of a comprehensive, personalized plan, such as nutrition, physical activity, emotional and mental health support, and addressing environmental factors impacting hormones and heart health. 

With this in mind, the Symphony Natural Health Medical Team created a comprehensive Heart Health Guide that can be a resource for you and your patients. It can be found in the Clinical Toolkit.
