Hi ladies,
Just wondering for those of us doing menopause the natural route, what supplements you're taking, if any?

I was taking a bit of a mixture, but want to get more organised with a multi and omega oil.

I like Viridian very much and think I'll start using their organic 40+ multi and organic 40+ omega oil.

Is anyone else using them or this combination? X

Hi jari,I'm not on hrt & I take a multi vitamin for 50+ women,b12,a cranberry with probiotic & zinc,admittedly I don't suffer as bad as some ladies on here but these seem to keep me ok 😊

Jaypo, what is the cranberry probiotic you use? I'm coming off HRT and trying the natural route 

[jaypo]

Hi sleepy 👋 they're called cran biotix and I get them on Amazon xx

[Jari]

Well done Sleepy!! 👍😊

[Sleepy123]

Ah thank you. I will check them out 

[jaypo]

I started using them as I was getting uti's a lot,not had any since taking these,shouldn't have said that should I 🤭🤐

Jaypo and Sleepy... I've found one called Synerbio Daily plus by Viridian, which I'm going to try.
Keep posted how it goes! 👍 x

A word of caution on supplements. I took one called Menopace for 6 week then had elevated liver enzymes in a basic blood test.
GP told me to come off them then two week later they were fine again. He said he had seen that before with people taking extra vitamins that they didn't need. Also Valerian can not agree with some. I think a basic blood test is a good start to show up any major deficiencies.

I do not drink soya milk and green tea but don't know if it has an effect . Caffeine and alcohol make me feel rough and hyper now - even a single cup/glass so I avoid.

Hi squeaker, that's interesting about menopace. I wonder what the ingredients are in it that caused you liver problems? Do you still have the packet?

You mention Valerian not agreeing with some? Is that a sleep aid? I don't know much about it?

Have you heard that soy milk and green tea helps for menopause symptoms? X
