Choosing the Right Menopause Supplement: What to Look For

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause, you’ve likely seen countless supplements promising to ease every symptom. But how do you choose what’s right for you? 

Here’s a simple guide to understanding what makes a high-quality menopause supplement and what to avoid. 

Key Things to Look For 

✅ Evidence-informed ingredients: Look for nutrients with emerging research behind them. Magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin D are commonly included in midlife formulations. 

✅ Formulated for women in midlife: Your nutritional needs shift during this time, and your supplements should reflect that. 

✅ Clarity in labelling: Choose products that disclose exact doses and avoid unnecessary artificial colours, binders, or fillers. 

Should I Take a Supplement? 

Food supplements are intended to complement not replace a balanced diet and lifestyle. They may be helpful when: 

• You’re not getting key nutrients through food 

• You’re looking to support sleep, energy, or resilience during hormone changes 

• You’ve discussed options with a healthcare provider 

At Menopause by Hazel, our formulas are developed by experts with understanding of midlife health and female physiology. Each ingredient is selected with purpose, clarity, and compliance in mind. 

Navigating supplements doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Focus on quality, simplicity, and what feels supportive for your individual needs. 

Always speak to a qualified healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are taking medication or managing a health condition.
