"FOLX mupi achapa murwere ruzivo uye nhungamiro kutenderedza iyo yakanaka danho rekutanga remahormone angave akavakirwa paruzivo irworwo," anodaro Steinle. Iye mupi achaona zvakare kuti murwere anonzwisisa "njodzi inosanganisirwa nerudzi irworwo rwekurapa, uye anobatsira murwere kuona kana achinzwa kugadzikana nenjodzi idzi," anodaro. Kana vangove papeji imwe chete, mupi weFOLX anozonyora iwo mahormone. NaFOLX, zviri chaizvo izvo zvakatwasuka-kumberi.

"FOLX haione HRT sechinhu chinogadzirisa varwere kana kuporesa chirwere," anodaro Steinle. "FOLX inofunga nezvayo sechimwe chinhu chinopa vanhu mukana wekuzvipa simba, mufaro, uye nzira yekusangana nenyika iwe yaunoda kugara mairi."

Panyaya yemurwere ari kutsvaga HRT, semuenzaniso, FOLX inogona kubvunza kana iwe uine mazai, asi hazvisi chete nekuti mupi anongoda kuziva, imhaka yekuti mupi anofanira kuziva ruzivo irworwo kuti ave nemufananidzo uzere wei mahormone muviri ari kugadzira, anotsanangura. Saizvozvo, kana muchifarira kuongororwa njovhera munogona kubvunzwa kuti kusangana nekumashure nekumashure kunobuda nako tsvina kunobuda here muupenyu hwenyu hwepabonde kuitira kuti murapi akwanise kusarudza kana mushonga wenjovhera wekumashure unobuda nako tsvina une musoro kwauri.
