Ask the Experts: What are your hero ingredients for menopause supplements, and why?

We understand that every woman's menopause journey is unique. Our formula complements individual needs, whether you're on HRT, exploring alternative options, or opting for a natural approach. We want you to feel empowered to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.

But here's the best part: our menopause support formula doesn't just address the symptoms; it takes a comprehensive approach to your well-being. We've carefully selected ingredients that support hormone balance during menopause, enhancing your overall vitality. We want you to see menopause as an opportunity for growth and well-being, both physically and mentally.

In a market flooded with symptom-driven products and questionable alternatives to HRT, we wanted to create something different. We didn't want to throw random ingredients with vague connections to menopause into a bottle. No, our goal was to build upon the success of our Stress and Anxiety Support formula and create a comprehensive and synergistic product centred around holistic women's health and balance during menopause.

Our formula is based on solid scientific research, which is recognised by the many practitioners using and recommending our products. You could say we're the practitioner's go-to for Menopause and Stress Support.

 

Therefore, we asked them, "What are your hero ingredients for menopause supplements, and why?"

"Every client is different, but including antioxidants can be highly beneficial because oxidative stress can increase in menopause due to declining oestrogen levels."

"Many of the women I see are struggling with low mood or anxiety. These symptoms are often due to perimenopause, where the initial progesterone drop can affect one's ability to stay calm and balanced. I, therefore, love to use saffron to help with this and have seen it benefit many women.

Increasing antioxidants through a varied diet can be helpful for my clients, but sometimes they need extra support through supplementation. For example, vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant and great for immune health. Energy can be an issue, too. While I look to balance this through diet and appropriate lifestyle measures, ensuring a client has optimal B vitamins and CoQ10 (which naturally declines through age) can be beneficial."

"Saffron would be an excellent addition for anxiety caused by the hormonal imbalance of menopause; in clinical trials, it has similar properties to anti-depressant medication with fewer side effects. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E help not only to support the adrenal glands, which are overworked in menopause, but also help skin and cellular function and reduce oxidative stress that affects oestrogen levels. CoQ10 is a superhero in menopause as it helps energy levels, hot flushes, and brain fog; a win-win!"

"My three hero menopause supplements would be magnesium, antioxidants, and Alpha-lipoic Acid – Clients are often in an inflamed state, low in energy and showing signs of poor blood sugar balance – these three, in combination with lifestyle and diet changes, can support a positive impact on short- and long-term effects for clients."
