Top Supplement Picks for Dealing with the Menopause

The menopause can be a challenging experience for most women. Whilst individual supplements can often help to provide some relief, using a combination of products can provide a solution to dealing with several symptoms associated with the menopause. Using a collection of nutrients that work well together can be the key to symptom alleviation, so we asked Savant’s Nutritionist, Katie, to come up with her top recommendations in terms of which bundle of products could help our customers deal with menopausal issues.

The answer? A combination of the following products: One Nutrition Ocean Mag, One Nutrition Ashwagandha, and Cleanmarine Menomin.

Why Do the Supplements Work So Well Together? 

Each of the following supplements could help to combat a number of symptoms associated with the menopause, and when put together, can work in a variety of ways, and within different systems. The supplement combination chosen by Katie can be used to support Hormone Replacement Therapy, with many women finding the supplements beneficial whilst undergoing HRT. 

The aim with combining products is to increase the chance of relief for those seeking support. In the following section, we’ll break down the benefits of each supplement, which together cover most of the issues often associated with the menopause.

One Nutrition Ocean Mag

Magnesium is an essential nutrient that is needed for hundreds of processes and can be lacking in our daily diets. One Nutrition Ocean Mag is a supplement that contains 100% naturally occurring magnesium. Some of the key benefits of using One Nutrition Ocean Mag include the following:

• Multiple studies have now demonstrated improved stress response, anti-depressant, and anti-anxiety effects of magnesium supplementation.
• Deficiency can lead to a reduction in bone mass, as well as a change in the function of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone, which are both necessary for bone health.
• During menopause, it is important to keep bones strong and prevent osteoporosis or the weakening of bones.
• Magnesium is also a fundamental part of adenosine triphosphate production (ATP), the compound that provides energy to cells.
• Postmenopausal women are at a higher risk of low magnesium levels, it is important for women to pay attention to this mineral to support their heart health.
• Magnesium may also reduce unwanted side effects of menopause, such as difficulty sleeping and depression while supporting heart health.
