Vitamin D3 has been shown to keep symptoms of vaginal discomfort at bay. One study has shown oral Vitamin D supplementation for 12 weeks improved vaginal health outcomes in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy symptoms. 38-40 Magnesium provides normal muscle function support and evidence shows it may improve bone density and reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women while also improving cells’ sensitivity to hormones, which can help ease menopause symptoms.

They are 100% plant-based and are suitable for all diet types. Many women link their weight gain to HRT. Although weight gain may occur at the same time as starting HRT, the two are not linked. Some studies even suggest that women who take HRT gain less weight than those who don’t, or HRT may promote a more even distribution of weight than otherwise commonly seen. Intermittent fasting is particularly good for increasing insulin sensitivity and therefore reducing fat loss around the middle. Intermittent fasting can be done in a few ways, and the most common method is to only eat within an 8-hour window in every 24-hour period. This allows your body to use its glycogen stores (sugar stores) during the 16 hour period when you don't eat, and helps to decrease fat stores. The Dandelion Root has traditionally been used for liver support and is useful in women’s hormonal imbalances. Rich in Inulin, Polysaccharides, Potassium and Sesquiterpene Lactones, Dandelion Root provides a natural source of Prebiotics and Fibre. Research shows it exerts antioxidant properties, which contribute to gastrointestinal wellbeing. 30-33MenoFriend ®contains a targeted blend of 19 ingredients, including 6 botanicals, non-soy phytoestrogens and Vitamin B6 to naturally regulate hormones and relieve menopause symptoms. Menopausal symptoms present themselves as the levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone decline at different speeds during menopause. The short-term imbalances that are created between the hormones as they decline exacerbate symptoms until the hormones find a new equilibrium and when your symptoms should subside. Therefore it’s important to regulate hormones as they naturally decline, alleviating symptoms so you can thrive during this natural phase. Wild Yam has a chemical called 'diosgenin', which influences the production of several hormones, including oestrogen. Wild Yam can help to support a comfortable menopause, particularly helping to relieve hot flushes, night sweats, restlessness and irritability. Hops are a source of antioxidants and are thought to help alleviate symptoms of the menopause through their active ingredients which affect the receptors in your brain that are responsible for sleep and calming down nervous activity. They also help your digestion and contribute to the function of your intestinal tract.

Hormone replacement therapy medication (HRT) is an individual choice for women to make. Some women find menopausal symptoms almost impossible to cope without taking HRT. Among those who had seen their GP about menopause, half (48%) rated the service they received as 'poor'. Only 2 in 10 said the service from their GP was good.

Whilst menopausal symptoms are well known, the effects of menopause are much less understood and our research highlights the need for society to do much more to support women. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a well-known treatment given for symptoms of the menopause, with the aim of balancing hormone levels to ease discomfort. However, it is not as common as many people think. Studies show less than 20% of women in the UK take HRT. HRT comes in various forms and will be prescribed by a doctor based on your symptoms and medical history. The main hormones used in HRT are oestrogen and progesterone. Around one in 100 women experience menopause before the age of 40, and this is known as premature ovarian insufficiency or premature menopause.

Studies also show Sage reduces the intensity of hot flushes by 50% within 4 weeks.
