Understanding Menopause
October is Menopause Awareness month. Every day, we engage with many women who share their experiences and concerns. We understand the emotions that can arise, and we're here to listen and support. Among our team we have women who have personal experiences or understand these challenges intimately, so never hesitate to approach us.
So what supplements can help?
In the past I have spoken about many supplements including Cleanmarine MenoMin which is an ideal supplement for hormonal support. It is one that many women love for energy, mood, and for healthy skin health. Another that I have also spoken about is Sage for hot flushes and brain fog, this works for many of you but I know it hasn't worked for all of you.
Today, I want to tell you about a supplement that I haven’t written about before, it's NHP Meno Herbal Support. You might be interested in it especially if other supplements haven't worked for you or if you want to try something else. This supplement is formulated by Dr. Marilyn Glenville PhD she is UK’S leading nutritionist specialising in women’s health and has written a number of books on women’s health. NHP Meno Herbal Support is her go to menopause supplement for natural balance of hormone balance during the perimenopause.
Let's take a closer look at NHP Meno Herbal
NHP Meno Herbal Support has a nice mix of ingredients including Fermented Soya Isoflavones and Red Clover, two phytoestrogens to help with hormone balance. Improving hormone balance can help you deal with symptoms associated with hormonal changes. You could see improvements in your mood, energy, skin, libido, and joint pain. It contains Sage which you will be familiar with, it’s the popular herb used to relieve the heat of hot flushes and night sweats. Recent research shows that it is also good to help with brain fog during the perimenopause.
Dandelion is included and is great for liver and gallbladder support. The liver is an important organ to support for healthy digestion of fat and for proper hormone metabolism. Women who experience digestive discomfort or constipation can see a huge difference when liver and gallbladder health is improved.
It also has flaxseeds for hormone health as they are a natural source of lignans which help build hormones. And are a source of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids to support hormone activity. Vitamin B6 is helpful for the regulation of hormonal activity and to help with the reduction of tiredness.
Hops is traditionally used for support of the nervous system helping aid relaxation and a sense of calmness.
I think NHP Meno Herbal Support is an interesting blend that you could look at. It combines well with NHP Meno Multi which is a multi vitamin designed for extra nutritional support during the perimenopausal years. And if like me you are postmenopausal and are concerned about your bone strength there is NHP OsteoSupport. I like this as it has a nice mix of Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K. I take three per day to help keep my bones strong. Of course you don't have to be post menopause to take it, you can take it at any stage of your journey.
Overall the NHP supplements is a lovely range for you to take a look at.
