There are so many products on the market to treat the symptoms of the menopause. How do I choose the most effective remedy for me?

Yes, it can be very confusing as to what to take. I would suggest making a list of your symptoms and then check which herbs or supplements are known to help. For instance, if you have only flushes or sweats then sage is often a good one to start with. If you get flushes but also, say, low mood and loss of libido then soy isoflavones may be better. If you are still not sure you are more than welcome to give me a call on the Helpline (0845 6085858) or you can chat to me using our live chat service and I will be happy to help further. After choosing a remedy don't forget to add in magnesium, as this is a very important mineral for the menopause - it lifts the mood, calms the nervous system and support the adrenals.
