Frequently asked questions
Why take dietary supplements during menopause?
Menopause generally occurs around the age of 50 and is preceded by perimenopause, a transitional period during which oestrogen levels fluctuate significantly, potentially causing irregular cycles, sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood swings, and the first signs of skin changes.
Even with a balanced diet, it can become more difficult to meet certain nutritional needs during this phase. Menopause supplements provide targeted support to help the body cope with these physiological and hormonal changes.
An appropriate dietary supplement can help alleviate common discomforts — such as hot flashes, fatigue, or sleep issues — while supporting nervous system and hormonal balance in a holistic approach alongside a healthy lifestyle.
Which ingredients should be prioritised for hormonal and emotional balance during menopause?
During perimenopause and menopause, fluctuations in female hormones directly affect the nervous system, mood, sleep, and energy levels. The effectiveness of a dietary supplement therefore relies on a holistic approach that addresses both stress management and hormonal adaptation.
The M-Balance+ formula combines well-known active ingredients to support these key mechanisms. Ashwagandha KSM-66™, a reference adaptogenic plant, helps the body better regulate the stress response by acting on cortisol, reducing nervous fatigue and promoting more restorative sleep.
The saffron Safr’Inside™ acts directly on neurotransmitters involved in emotional balance. It helps improve mood, support motivation, and reduce stress sensations often heightened during hormonal changes.
The wild yam, traditionally used for female comfort, gently supports natural hormonal adaptation during this transitional period.
Finally, the combination of magnesium bisglycinate and vitamin B6, which helps regulate hormonal activity, supports the nervous system, promotes relaxation, and contributes to better daily emotional stability.
How to preserve overall wellbeing during menopause?
Declining oestrogen leads to a gradual reduction in natural collagen production, an essential protein for the structure of skin, hair, bones, and joints. This can result in drier skin, loss of firmness, or increased joint sensitivity. A marine collagen supplement can help support skin elasticity and joint comfort.
Menopause can also be accompanied by intimate dryness linked to hormonal changes. Supporting the microbiome, notably with probiotics, can aid digestive and intimate comfort, contributing to overall wellbeing during this period.
Beyond supplementation, maintaining balance also relies on an adapted lifestyle:
- a nutrient-dense diet, rich in protein, fibre, micronutrients, and quality fats
- a lifestyle that respects the body’s needs, with particular attention to sleep and recovery
- regular physical activity including strength training, essential for supporting muscle mass, bone health, and metabolism
How to relieve body changes related to menopause?
Hormonal changes affect metabolism and the distribution of body fat. Some women experience weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, as well as bloating or slower digestion.
Caring for the gut microbiome becomes essential: optimal digestion promotes nutrient absorption and supports overall body balance.
Dietary supplements (probiotics to nourish the microbiome, glutamine to strengthen the intestinal barrier…) can support these changes when combined with a balanced diet, regular physical activity including strength training, and attention to sleep and stress management.
Can menopause supplements be taken long-term?
Perimenopause and menopause are long-term phases. A course of menopause supplements is generally recommended for at least three months to support the body’s natural adaptation mechanisms.
Consistency in taking supplements is essential to see lasting effects on energy, sleep, skin, and emotional balance. It is possible to combine courses — for example, collagen, sleep support, or digestion — to meet the various needs that evolve throughout this transition and naturally relieve symptoms.
