Oxidative stress and enhancement of MMP–9 activity was significantly reduced by Robuvit® versus placebo. After 8 weeks of intervention, the patients’ condition improved independently of the intervention. Our results suggest that the use of Robuvit® as a natural supplement relieves post-operative symptoms of patients after hysterectomy and reduces oxidative stress" - [Nutra USA] - See Robuvit® at Amazon.com.

Those benefits appear to last for years after the therapy ends ... The effects on breast cancer are so different between estrogen and progestin and estrogen alone that we felt it was time to say that women taking estrogen alone may not need to stop at three to five years. Because over that amount of time, no breast cancer showed up in women taking estrogen alone ... Compared to women taking a placebo, women who took estrogen had a 23% reduced risk of invasive breast cancer ... Women taking estrogen also had a 63% reduced risk of dying from breast cancer compared to women on the placebo"
