Maca-GO® as referenced in all the below medical journal publications, is a Symphony Natural Health proprietary ingredient and only available in our products. Maca-GO® is the sole ingredient in Femmenessence MacaPause® and is a proprietary combination of the different phenotypes of the herb maca (Lepidium peruvianum) specifically for hormone balance in women. Maca-GO® is sourced from our organic farms in Peru and then goes through our proprietary, 100% natural, manufacturing processes that is GMP, Organic and Kosher certified. This process concentrates the full spectrum of active ingredients and maximizes the bioavailability.
Maca-GO® is the ONLY clinically proven natural product that has demonstrated statistically significant effects on hormones in peri and post menopausal women. Our clinical trials also demonstrated that Maca-GO® has the highest success rate (84%) of any herbal product in the world in reducing menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women as well as benefits for heart, bone and mental health.

HerbatoninPRO
Herbatonin® or plant melatonin has been found in several plants (Dubbels et al., 1995; Hattori et al, 1995). The hormone is also present in algae, where its role may be acting as a phytohormone and anti-oxidant (Balzer and Hardeland, 1996). Amount varies in different species, from 0 to 800 pg/mg protein, with the highest amount found in rice family Gramineae.
The identity of plant melatonin was verified by HPLC. Biological and pharmacological identity with animal melatonin was demonstrated by activity in chicks and rabbits. Dietary (ingested) plant melatonin influences plasma levels and brain receptor binding. Some selected references related to the existence of plant melatonin and the action of Melatonin in in-vivo laboratory models and in humans are included below:
