Dear MHI Reader

Menopause can be a challenging time, especially when it comes to choosing the right supplements for your health. With so many products available, it’s important to find the right ones for you. In this newsletter, we’ll guide you through the key steps to choosing the best supplements for your individual menopause symptoms and making informed decisions for your well-being.

Understand your needs

Selecting the right supplements starts with a clear understanding of your individual needs. Every woman experiences menopause differently, and symptoms can vary greatly in intensity and type. It is important to first consider what specific symptoms you are experiencing. You can use our menopause symptom checker or go through our online symptom checker. Symptoms may include hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, joint pain, or even depression. By identifying your symptoms accurately, you can search for products that are tailored to your individual needs. Instead of taking supplements at random, a targeted approach is much more effective and easier on your body. This step allows you to listen more closely to your body and only take in what you really need.

These are the most important nutrients during menopause

During menopause, your body’s needs change. Some nutrients play a particularly important role in this phase of life to keep you healthy and alleviate typical complaints. The essential nutrients include:

· Vitamin B6 and B12: These vitamins support hormonal activity and the nervous system, which can help with mood swings in particular.

Vitamin D: Essential for bone health and the immune system. Especially during menopause, when the risk of osteoporosis increases, a vitamin D deficiency can have serious consequences.

Calcium: Since bone loss is a major problem during menopause, it is recommended to take 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium daily.

Magnesium: This mineral is well known for its ability to relax muscles and relieve stress, both common issues during menopause.

Zinc: Zinc is important for a strong immune system and promotes cell regeneration. A daily intake of 7-10 mg can help you strengthen your defenses.

Isoflavones: These plant-based substances from soy or red clover can help alleviate menopause symptoms for some women. However, they should only be taken after consulting a doctor, especially in the case of hormone-dependent diseases.

Taking these nutrients can help you to better manage the symptoms of menopause in general and to feel more comfortable.

Product quality: What to look out for

Choosing high-quality supplements is crucial for efficacy and safety. There are countless products on the market, but not all of them deliver what they promise. To ensure you get the best results, look for certified products that have undergone rigorous quality control. Products that have certification from independent testing organizations guarantee consistent purity and dosage of the ingredients.

One example is our Meno-Sleep with 600mg ashwagandha extract and 5% withanolides of KSM-66. KSM-66, also known as “World’s Best Ashwagandha”, offers the strongest form of ashwagandha. It is the most potent full-spectrum extract and has a high bioavailability – that is, the body absorbs it like a sponge.

KSM-66 does not use the leaves of the plant, only the root, which is very important. The reason for this is that only the root is used in the most important pharmacopoeias, for example the US and British Pharmacopoeia. However, there are some ashwagandha manufacturers that use both the leaves and the roots of the plant in their extracts.

As a consumer, you can recognize the quality by the KSM-66 logo on the product. We only have this logo because we guarantee the quantity and purity according to studies. The studies “Effect of an ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) root extract on climacteric symptoms in women during perimenopause” and “Efficacy and Safety of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Root Extract in Insomnia and Anxiety” can be found in the National Library of Medicine. This applies to all of our products.

Expert advice, such as that provided by pharmacists or nutritionists, can also help you find the supplements that are right for you. It’s worth investing in high-quality products that are backed by scientific data, rather than being blinded by marketing promises. After all, you only want the best for your body.

Targeting individual symptoms or multi-menopause supplements

You can find products on the market that are labeled as “menopause” or “menopause” and those that are designed to target individual symptoms. The latest research shows that 48 symptoms are associated with menopause. This raises the question of whether products labeled “menopause” also cover all 48 symptoms. The answer is simple: “No”. Such products are misleading because they do not clearly indicate which symptoms they actually treat. For this reason, find out exactly whether the products really cover your symptoms.

Alternatively, you can choose products that offer targeted solutions, i.e. treat your individual symptoms. This has the advantage that you know exactly what the product really helps with.

Instead of relying on “one-size-fits-all menopause solutions,” we at The Women Circle focus on simple, clear formulations that have been developed specifically for you and your individual symptoms. We value transparency, quality, and scientifically based ingredients that help you to support your health during menopause in the best possible way.

Slow introduction and monitoring

Once you have decided on dietary supplements, it is important to start slowly. Start with one or two supplements and observe how your body reacts to them. This makes it easier for you to better assess the effect of each nutrient and make adjustments if necessary. If you take too many supplements at once, it can be difficult to determine which products are actually working and which are not.

Pay attention to your body’s signals and also take breaks to see if your symptoms improve or if you experience any side effects. Patience is key here. Changes often don’t happen overnight, but can take a few weeks or months.
