How MenoFriend^® works

MenoFriend^® contains a targeted blend of 19 ingredients, including 6 botanicals, non-soy phytoestrogens and Vitamin B6 to naturally regulate hormones. Menopausal signs present themselves as the levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone decline at different speeds during menopause.

Red Clover Extract is a source of phytoestrogens, which are natural plant compounds. Isoflavones are a specific type of phytoestrogen that has been extensively researched for providing support through menopause.

Wild Yam Root contains ‘diosgenin’, a naturally active plant compound. The compounds are used to help women transition through a calm and comfortable menopause.7-9

Sage Extract, which has been used for generations by menopausal women, owes its natural attributes to its abundance in polyphenols and particularly to ‘rosmarinic acid’, an active component of sage leaf.

Hops contain one of the most potent phytoestrogens known, called ‘8-prenylnaringenin’ (8-PN). Some research indicates Hops is 8x more potent than other phytoestrogens, and it has been shown to be particularly beneficial during perimenopause.^12-13

Dong Quai, which is also known as the ‘female ginseng’, is one of the most famous herbal remedies in China. It provides a source of phytoestrogens, particularly when combined with other plants.^7,14

Mung Bean, regularly consumed in Asian countries and particularly by women during menopause, is a type of legume. Mung Bean contains an abundance of isoflavones, polyphenols and polysaccharides amongst many other active compounds, and is rich in the protein ‘isolate 8 S globulin’.

Mental cloudiness is the most common sign of menopause. MenoFriend^® can help provide mental clarity. 

Hormonal changes affect our cognitive function and the ability to think clearly, make decisions and generally function well mentally. As a result, while supporting the changing hormonal levels, it is also important to assist cognitive function so you can thrive through your menopause journey.

Research shows that Sage supports cognitive function during the menopause, helping to maintain memory, reasoning, mental clarity and brain performance.

MenoFriend^® also contains optimal dosages of B vitamins in their most bio-available forms, including Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. Vitamin B6 is vital for maintaining hormonal balance, while both Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are vital for our cognitive function and energy before, during and after menopause. MenoFriend^® also contains highly absorbable Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B5 which contribute to psychological function.
