Reduced Stress & Anxiety

The American Psychological Association defines anxiety as;

an emotion characterized by apprehension and somatic symptoms of tension in which an individual anticipates impending danger, catastrophe, or misfortune

Whilst people generally use the terms 'stress' and 'anxiety' interchangeably, stress the emotional response is triggered by an external factor whilst anxiety is internal.

37% of menopausal women report report suffering from anxiety.

We've included natural ingredients with a strong clinical research pedigree in relation to reducing stress and anxiety. Crucially though, we have excluded ingredients which also cause drowsiness.

The anxiety and stress reduction components of Kurapeak seek to reduce anxiety whilst still maintaining mental energy.

Increased Subjective Well-being

A lot of menopausal women report feeling down and generally less like themselves when they’re going through the menopause. Though many of these feelings can’t be quantified, they’re very real and that’s what subjective wellbeing is.

In the canon of academic research literature on supplement herbs and botanicals you'll find subjective well-being mentioned regularly.

Examine.com defines it as;

Your subjective well-being represents your life satisfaction (i.e., how happy you are with your life, intellectually and emotionally)

As the 'subjective' part would imply, it is not an empirical calculation. It cannot be measured with bloodwork or brain scans and is typically assessed via a questionnaire on study subjects.

Scientists like being able to measure levels and changes in neurotransmitters objectively. In terms of quality of life though, on a day to day basis what matters is whether you feel happy or not.

We have included ingredients which have demonstrated in numerous clinical studies to have that positive effect.

Improved Mental Energy and Focus

Menopausal women also appear to be struggling in the workplace with one in five of them saying that their symptoms have had an effect on their work, mainly due to a lack of focus and “brain fog”

When you talk about mental energy, focus and concentration in relation to supplements you have entered the realm of the 'nootropic'.

Nootropics are products designed to enhance executive cognitive functions such as memory, creativity, or motivation

One of the principal aims of Kurapeak is to help women succeed in all facets of life, whether that be career, family, sport or relationships. Or indeed all of those. To do that you need energy and mental stamina.

As you can see from the associated clinical studies in this category, there have been studies done on key constituents of Kurapeak which have demonstrated positive effects in this department.

None of the ingredients included in Kurapeak would be classed as stimulants.

Libido

A hectic life, low mood, and stress can often leave you feeling less than amorous. Your love life can be one of the first casualties of an overcrowded schedule, and one of the hardest to reignite.

If you’re menopausal, your libido can be suffer even more. My Menopause Centre reports that around 40-50% of women experiencing perimenopause and menopause symptoms go through a decline in their sex drive.

This article on examine.com debunks myths around herbal libido products and enhancers. Maca is their top pick as a genuine libido enhancer for both genders, and Kurapeak contains the 1500mg daily equivalent dosage which is recommended. They do say;

Maca, specifically, may not reach full potency until two months of consistent supplementation. Research into Maca has also shown promise for postmenopausal women, an oft-overlooked population when it comes to libido enhancement.

So bear that in mind, you are unlikely to see instant results in relation to libido.

An improved sex life between you and your partner can be another instance of the 'virtuous cycle'. When you are both sexual fulfilled petty disagreements and grievances you might have previously had are reduced, it brings you both closer and you end up spending more time in bed together as a result.

I'd been taking a good turmeric supplement for a while and I was thinking of adding a saffron supplement I'd seen advertised on Facebook.

A friend told me about Kurapeak and as it contained both of those ingredients and a lot else beside, it seemed like a sensible choice rather than paying more for them separately.
