Description

MenoFriend^® is our remedy for menopause. MenoFriend^® is also an alternative to HRT, and can be taken alongside HRT to support where HRT doesn't. MenoFriend^® is a unique formula of ethically and sustainably sourced botanical herbs, vitamins and minerals to soothe and calm your body during the menopause so you can get on with your days and enjoy restful nights.

MenoFriend^® ingredients include:
- Wild Yam is acclaimed to help maintain a calm, particularly during body temperature fluctuations, restlessness and irritability.
- Red Clover is acclaimed to help decrease menopausal discomfort and support your cardiovascular function, normalising blood pressure, helping strengthen your blood vessels and increasing the elasticity and strength of blood vessels and capillary walls.
- Hops are a source of antioxidants and are thought to help alleviate feelings of the menopause through their active ingredients which affect the receptors in your brain that are responsible for sleep and calming down nervous activity. They also help your digestion and contribute to the function of your intestinal tract.
- Sage is acclaimed for helping to maintain working memory and brain performance, contributing to your memory function and supporting low moments.
- Dong Quai is often referred to as 'Female Ginseng' and is commonly used to help during peri and menopause. Including to support body temperature fluctuations and lack of libido. It's also commonly used to help with absent periods (amenorrhea) and PMS.
- Maca supports your physical and mental health, helping maintain optimal stamina and feelings of vitality. Some studies suggest that the apigenin in Maca may benefit brain cells. The Maca plant belongs to the brassica family and is a cruciferous vegetable, grown largely in the Peruvian Andes. Its hardy roots are packed with vitamins and minerals, and in ancient times warriors consumed Maca root to support strength and stamina.
- Dandelion Root is believed to help maintain normal urinary flow and a healthy urinary tract function. And it has other benefits including prebiotic effects contributing to gastrointestinal wellbeing, and helping maintain a normal appetite by stimulating the production of the body's digestive fluid, thereby also helping maintain a normal liver function.

MenoFriend^® also contains essential vitamins to support your daily energy and brain function including:

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity
Vitamin B12 and B6 contribute to the normal homocysteine metabolism
Vitamin D, Calcium & Magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
Vitamin B1 contributes to the normal function of your heart
Vitamin B2 contributes to the normal function of your nervous system

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor or healthcare professional before use.

Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience any abnormal bleeding or adverse reactions occur.

Gut Works^®
This is an advanced formula of gut-friendly bacteria (often referred to as prebiotics and probiotics) providing daily support for your gut health and a healthy bowel. With 50 billion live cultures** in the optimal combination of 6 gut-friendly bacteria, including Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Rhamnosus, Casei, and Bifidobacterium, Inulin and Psyllium, Gut Works^® is your go-to daily supplement for gut, brain and skin health.

Live bacteria are beneficial bacteria that live in the body and are found in very large numbers in the gut. The gut is full of organisms ranging from bacteria, fungi and parasites, which are kept in check by gut-friendly bacteria. These gut-friendly bacteria provide a vast number of functions throughout the entire body. Gut-friendly bacteria help to 'crowd out' unwanted organisms in the gut, such as unwanted bacteria, yeast and parasites. You can learn more about probiotics here on the NHS website.

Gut Works^® contains Inulin and some of the most widely researched and studied gut-friendly bacteria, including:

Inulin is a type of gut-friendly dietary fibre found in many plants that can help other gut-friendly bacteria grow. It is found in a wide range of fruits, vegetables and herbs including wheat, onions, bananas, leeks, artichokes and asparagus.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a gut-friendly bacteria that naturally occurs in the human gut and other parts of the body, helping your digestive system break down sugars, such as lactose into lactic acid.
Lactobacillus Rhamnosus exists naturally in your body, primarily in the intestines, and helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the stomach and intestines.
Lactobacillus Casei is another of many gut-friendly bacteria that live in your digestive system, urinary and genital tracts.
Bifidobacterium Lactis is good bacteria that live in the intestines, which can help break down food and absorb nutrients.
Streptococcus Thermophilus are friendly bacteria living in our digestive, urinary and genital systems.
Psyllium Husk (Plantago ovata) contributes to the intestinal tract and intestinal function, helping maintain a healthy bowel and facilitating intestinal transit.

I’ve been taking these for 5 weeks now and they have really helped with my peri-menopausal symptoms, such as flushes, aching muscles, brain fog and tingling in arms and legs. Can’t recommend enough.

Nadine

I have suffered stomach issues for 10+ years and diagnosed with IBSD. Tried so many things. After 3 weeks of gut works everything has stopped. I can’t thank you enough for restoring my life, I can travel, enjoy meals out and my chronic anxiety has all but vanished. This should be prescribed!! I had almost given up hope of feeling this good again.

Erin

I have noticed a huge difference in how I am feeling after taking these for just 3 weeks. Best friend recommended supplements ever!

Questions? We have answers:

How do I store my probiotics?

Probiotics are very sensitive to heat and warm air, so keep your pouch away from any warm air or moisture, including radiators, steam from a kettle or showers in a bathroom. If at all uncertain, store in your fridge if it is frost-free.

Can I take Gut Works^® alongside Debloat & Detox?

Yes, Debloat & Detox and Gut Works^® can be taken together and are very commonly done so to provide complete daily support for your gut health and gut microbiome. They also form our bestselling Gut Health Bundle.

When is the best time to take Gut Works^®?

Gut Works^® should be taken at least 20 minutes before or after hot food or drinks and ideally on an empty stomach. Probiotics are extremely sensitive to heat, which is why it's important to take them well before or after any hot food or drink. You can take your Gut Works^® capsule at any time of day.

Also remember to store your pouch and refillable pill tin in a cool, dry place and away from warm air, moisture or direct heat.

Can probiotics and Gut Works^® be taken over the long term?

This is a common question about probiotics. Whilst there can be some exceptions to this rule, the general answer is yes, it’s safe and often recommended to take your probiotics daily to keep your gut microbiome healthy.

Can my child take Gut Works^®?

Although our supplements are formulated for adults, Gut Works^® is safe for teenagers and older children, subject of course to the child being of average size and weight for their age. Gut Works^® is a high-strength probiotic, so we would advise for a child under the age of 13 to look at a child-friendly probiotic.

Need advice? No problem, you can email our expert nutritionists at team@drvegan.com who are always happy to help and advise.

Can I take MenoFriend^® with the mini pill?

MenoFriend^® is often taken alongside the mini pill (progesterone only). There are a few minor drug-nutrient interactions with this combination, so we recommend taking MenoFriend^® and the mini pill at opposite times of the day. We always recommend consulting with your GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if you're on medication, including the mini pill.

Can I take MenoFriend^® with the combined pill?

We do not recommend taking MenoFriend^® with the combined pill due to interactions between the ingredients in MenoFriend^® that may affect the contraceptive pill.

When is the best time to take MenoFriend^®?

MenoFriend^® can be taken at any time of the day. The most common time to take MenoFriend^® is in the evenings. However, you can take your two MenoFriend^® capsules together or separately, in the mornings, daytime or evening. It is a case of learning and adapting to what works best for you and your body.

To enjoy the benefits of MenoFriend^®, it's important to take two capsules consistently each day.

How long can you take MenoFriend^® for?

MenoFriend^® is formulated so you can thrive through menopause and postmenopause. MenoFriend^® is safe to take for as long as necessary and it is helping you thrive. We always advise that if you don't feel you need to take supplements, that is a good thing, so it can be a good idea to stop taking supplements if you don't feel you need them and if you feel you've achieved your health goal.

How long does it take for MenoFriend^® to work?

The time it takes to feel a difference from taking any supplements varies by individual due to many factors including the stage of menopause, age, weight, diet and the foods you eat, lifestyle, exercise and other factors.

Can I take MenoFriend^® if I've had a hysterectomy?

MenoFriend^® may be suitable for signs of menopause after a hysterectomy. A full hysterectomy would cause a person to go into surgical menopause immediately due to the removal of ovaries. Ovaries are responsible for producing oestrogen and progesterone. If you still retain your ovaries, you will experience menopause as normal.

Can I take MenoFriend^® with HRT?

MenoFriend^® supports a more comfortable menopause and is often taken alongside HRT, however we always recommend consulting with your GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if you're on HRT or medication.

We provide high-quality dietary supplements and foods. We cannot give medical advice. We would advise anyone to seek guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner if there are any concerns using supplements when on HRT.
