Menopause is a natural part of the aging process for women. Typically beginning after age 45, menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle and is considered “complete” after one has gone 12 months without a period. During menopause, estrogen levels significantly drop, often causing numerous symptoms.
And while some women transition through menopause without impacts on their health and well-being many, if not most, women experience a range of menopause symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep irregularity, slower metabolism, lower energy levels and mood changes. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. However, regardless of severity, menopause symptoms can be frustrating, stressful or even embarrassing. Most women have either experienced, or have friends who have experienced, a sudden and intense hot flash during a business meeting or family function that prompted them to excuse themselves and head to the nearest outdoor space or restroom. Similarly, many women have faced the day exhausted due to the sleeplessness that often accompanies menopause.
One’s physician may prescribe medication to address specific issues related to menopause. However, a wide range of products, created to ease menopause symptoms and containing only natural ingredients, are also available.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not review dietary supplement and natural health products, including those created to support menopause health, to determine their effectiveness or safety. And one should always consult with a healthcare professional before trying new natural health products. However, many women have successfully incorporated natural products created to provide relief from menopause symptoms into their daily routine.
