Dietary Supplements and Menopause


If you are dealing with some tough symptoms of menopause then you may want to consider supplementing with a variety of different supplements that may offer some relief. Remember, not all supplements will work for everyone and you should always talk with your doctor before you start taking any supplements. Below is an overview of several different supplements that may work for you.

Flaxseed Oil

Flaxseed oil can improve your immune system, lower cholesterol, and even help with fatigue and depression. If you find yourself exhausted consider supplementing with flaxseed oil.

Marine Phytoplankton

Some women find marine phytoplankton helps with depression, mood swings, and improves memory. It’s not uncommon for women to be moody, irritable and have memory problems during menopause. Marine phytoplankton offers a natural way to fight these symptoms.

Evening Primrose Oil

Many women experience headaches, water retention, irritation, and cramping during perimenopause. If this is happening to you then consider supplementing with evening primrose oil.

Vitamin B6

Anxiety may be reduced by supplementing with vitamin B6 because it increases progesterone and serotonin.

Coral Calcium

Coral calcium helps restore the body’s balance by reducing levels of acidity.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is also a wonderful way to alleviate symptoms of menopause. Many women find vitamin E to be a mild form of hormone replacement therapy that is natural.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps fight off disease and strengthen the immune system. This can ward off infections, disease, and other illnesses.

Zinc

Zinc is a healthy supplement for menopausal women. That’s because it can strengthen bones, boost the immune system, decrease levels of estrogen while increasing progesterone levels, and reducing the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Always talk with your doctor before you begin supplementing with one or more of these supplements. If you are taking other prescription drugs make sure your doctor recommends what supplements are safe to take and those that are not.
