Nutri Advanced MegaMag PeriMeno Plus

The menopause can be a challenging time for some women, but it doesn’t have to be. The products in our menopause hamper have been carefully selected so that they may help make your transition easier with minimal symptoms. ( **Legally we have to say may help NOT will help, or we will be in trouble with the ASA**) There are a few key points to consider :

1.Any hormonal issue is tied very closely with blood sugar control, so the first consideration is to make sure this is balanced. Therefore we have included Glucochrome capsules. This product contains chromium, cinnamon and Alpha lipoic acid, all of which have been shown to be supportive of healthy blood sugar levels. We also recommend limiting or excluding processed foods and sugar, while prioritising good quality protein and healthy fats. Not only will this help balance blood sugar levels, it is the basis of a diet that will nourish all systems of the body!

2, Managing Stress levels is among our top recommendations for helping to keep menopausal symptoms to a mental minimum. As the ovaries slow down and cease their production of oestrogen, the adrenal glands take over production. The adrenals make  stress hormones, so if suffering from stress, they busy themselves with this vital function rather than making oestrogen ( they don’t know that you’re stuck in a traffic jam or just had an argument with your spouse; they assume you need to run from a sabre tooth tiger!) With this in mind, we recommend stress relieving activities such as meditation ( download Insight Timer or Headspace to get you started). Meditation has been proven to get your body back into parasympathetic mode, which is the opposite to fight or flight mode. Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT or Tapping) can be effective ; this works by tapping on the same points used in acupuncture. We have included Megamag Perimo Plus Magnesium, as it contains magnesium, B vitamins and Vitamin C, which may help support adrenal function. It also contains Ashwaganda, rhodiola and Shatavari, which are adaptogenic herbs that may also  help support the adrenals.
