With going through the menopause, I am suffering with terrible fatigue, I have no energy whatsoever I am a runner, having been running for over 30 years now & I just have no energy at all, when I come home from work I just want to sit down & even go to bed as my body feels so so tired & heavy. My hot sweats have calmed down as I had them constantly for 6 months, but it's just this fatigue, I can't cope with it. Is there a supplement that you could advise me to take so I can feel more like myself again?

Sensible exercise in the menopause is vital but it is important not to over do it.

The menopause puts tremendous strain on the body generally and if you push yourself too hard the body can go into 'survival mode'  and the metabolism can slow down and fatigue is often a result.

Your nutritional needs also go sky high in the menopause and if you exercise too much this will deplete your reserves even more pushing the body further into survival mode so it can become a vicious circle!

In such cases it is very important to take a sport nutrition supplement to support the body at this time and I would also suggest a protein drink every day as well.

Your local health or sports shop should be able to advise you on a good supplement for your needs.

It is also important to have a time of rest and relaxation every day to allow the body to rebalance itself.
