MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS
ANXIETY
One of the most common symptoms of Menopause, Anxiety can be triggered by the drop in estrogen levels that occurs during menopause which disrupts the production of the bodies internal neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin — our bodies natural regulators that are essential for controlling mood... this can result in anxiety.
It's essential to speak with your doctor or health care adviser if you realize that you can't seem to settle down or relax.
One of the strategies that has been shown to be most effective in easing menopausal symptoms is deep breathing exercises, which you can incorporate into your regular routine.
Shhh,,, products blended to ease anxiety include the ALLAY ANXIETY RANGE and RELIEVE & EASE.
MOOD SWINGS
Menopause, like PMS, is accompanied by its own set of mood swings. Your level of sex hormones fluctuates, which affects brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA and makes you angrier. As your hormones are out of balance, your mood swings may become more frequent, which can increase your stress.
Botanical actives that have a natural ability to relax the GABA receptors in the brain and nervous system, such as magnesium help promote the “slow down” you need in order to relax and which also is imperative for sleep - all of which can benefit hormone regulation and improve mood swings.
Products that may help you include: RELIEVE & EASE MAGENSIUM MIST our range of ALLAY ANXIETY and SLEEP SOUND products and supplementing with our 5-HTP gummies and MENOCARE capsules blended for hormone regulation.
IRREGULAR PERIODS
Menstrual cycle irregularities can occur at any moment in life for a variety of causes. However, one of the early indicators of menopause could be anomalies in the pattern of your regular monthly cycle if you are in your 40s and observe them.
The cause is the body's lowering levels of estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to changes in period flow as well as more frequent or more spaced-out periods.
Shhh... MENOCARE supplements provide vital nutrients to keep the hormone levels at optimum levels to minimise fluctuation.
HOT FLASHES
One of the most typical menopause symptoms, a hot flash is a sudden, strong feeling of heat that may be accompanied by perspiration or chills.
It can make you feel uncomfortably hot and cause flushing or redness of the face and neck, which is not always related to external variables and temperature.
Our SPRITZ & SOOTHE botanical mists in Orange and Mint varieties provide practical, rapid relief to cool the skin down. Our MENOCARE supplement aids hormone regulation to help minimise symptoms.
VAGINAL DRYNESS
Vaginal tissue may become dryer and thinner as a result of the natural fall in estrogen levels that occurs throughout menopause.

NIGHT SWEATS
Do you have hot flashes more frequently at night? These hot flashes are known as night sweats if you wake up in the middle of the night sweating heavily and feeling quite warm.

SKIN, HAIR & NAILS
ITCHY SKIN
Collagen production decreases as we get older and as our hormone levels change.

As skin matures both topical application and nutritional supplementation are important.

BRITTLE NAILS
Estrogen is essential for the health of your hair, nails, and other body tissues.
As levels decline lower amounts might make nails brittle because they weaken and dry out.
Keeping nails short can be beneficial. Routinely moisturizing your hands and cuticles as well as nutritional support are positive ways to protect against damage and weak nails.
Products that can help include our Soothe and Smooth Hand Cream, Green Tea Cuticle Oil and Protect and Maintain Gummies.
TINGLING SENSATION
Many menopausal women report experiencing tingling, burning, or numbness in their fingers, toes, feet, hands, arms, and legs.
The majority of the time, menopause-related tingling in the extremities is caused by normal hormone variations. One of the main hormones that fluctuates throughout menopause is estrogen, which has a complicated impact on the central nervous system.
Shhh supplements formulated for hormonal balance and support for the central nervous system include our Menocare Capsules blended for protection through all stages of the menopause and Protect and Maintain Gummies for Hair Skin and Nails.
THINNING HAIR
Estrogen is required for healthy hair follicle growth.
Low estrogen levels can trigger both hair thinning and increase hair loss. As such, when estrogen levels start to decline, your hair tends to become drier, brittle, and more prone to breaking.
Our PROTECT AND MAINTAIN gummies are formulated with Biotin and Selenium which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair
PAINS
BLOATING & DIGESTION ISSUES
Having increased bloating lately? Water retention could result from the fluctuating estrogen levels that occur during perimenopause. Bloating results from tissues retaining water, which is accompanied by a sense of fullness, heaviness, and tightness around the belly.
Cortisol levels and estrogen are related. Lower estrogen reduces the body's ability to fend off cortisol and adrenaline, the stress hormones. Higher blood cortisol levels alert the brain that you are in danger, which causes non-essential processes like digestion to momentarily cease, disrupting your regular digestion. While your hormones are out of balance, you can have bloating, constipation, stomach pain, or discomfort.
MENOCARE supplements provide ongoing support throughout the menopause. our soothing SLEEP SOUND and DETOX bath salts with magnesium combat stress and tension which can beneficially reduce cortisol levels and assist in minimising symptoms.
ELECTRIC SHOCKS
Electrical Shock Feeling
Suddenly felt as though your body had received an electric shock? Just before a hot flash, a sensation that feels a lot like a rubber band snapping between muscle and skin can happen. Even though they only last a moment or two, they can be rather unpleasant and serve as a hot flash warning.
Your central nervous system and estrogen work together to convey signals from nerves to the brain. Signals may be twisted, magnified, short-circuited, or otherwise distorted when your hormones start to run amok, giving you the sense of a shock or tingling across your body or extremities.
Our MENOCARE and our BALANCE AND ALLURE MACA ROOT supplements aid hormone regulation and strengthen the nervous system to help minimise symptoms.
HEADACHES
Frequent headaches in menopausal women are common and are associated with declining estrogen levels.
These headaches may start out being minor but might get worse as menopause progresses and hormone levels continue to decline.
Maintaining optimal hormonal balance is a vital way to support the body throughout the menopause journey.
Our MENOCARE and BALANCE AND ALLURE MACA ROOT supplements are formulated for hormone and central nervous system protection.
TENSION
Muscle strain may be brought on by menopause. The muscles in the back, neck, and shoulders may tighten or strain as a result of changing hormone levels. Also possible are stiffness, tightness, and aches in your muscles all throughout your body.
The body's muscles become weary and tight due to prolonged high levels of cortisol in the presence of low oestrogen levels. Progesterone has a calming impact on both the body and the mind. Muscles often get stiff as progesterone levels start to decline before menopause.
