Are menopause supplements actually worth your money or are they just fill of s% ?
💊💊💊💊💊
Curious which ones you have used, tried, which worked and which you have thrown in the bin?!
🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐
With the global market predicted to reach £18 billion by 2030, a study published in Climacteric by UCL researchers takes a critical look at what we are really spending are money on!!
Here is what you need to consider before buying:
1️⃣ Wild variations - there is a massive inconsistency in both ingredients and price points across UK supplement brands. It took me about 4 years of going through a lot to find what worked for me! 🙄
2️⃣ Missing essentials - less than half of the products reviewed contain Vitamin D and calcium—the ONLY supplements routinely recommended by major menopause societies for bone health! 😮
3️⃣ Influencer hype - so many trending "miracle" supplements are heavily promoted online despite a lack of scientific research proving they relieve menopause symptoms and we have all bought at least one I bet!
Bottom line? 💪
Do not let wellness marketing replace evidence-based care. Speak with a healthcare professional about what your body actually needs - trust your intuition! 🧡
