Product Review – Menopace

Menopace is available at Boots and other high street and on-line suppliers

Menopace is currently claimed to be the #1 menopause remedy in the UK

Designed for women during the lead up to, during and after the menopause, it provides a good source of essential nutrients that , it is claimed, adjust the imbalance of hormones associated with the menopause and help reducing the symptoms. Suitable for vegetarians, it contains a good mix of vitamins including Vitamins A,D,E,C, B1,B2,B3 and B6. It also could help with maintaining good levels of calcium, essential for strong bones.

The manufacturers tell us that Menopace is  endorsed by BUPA,

Doseage

1 tablet a day should be taken with food, and it is suitable for long term use

Does Menopace Work?

Our research does show a great deal of success with the reduction of hot flushes, but the claim that it boosts or re vitalises a lack of sex drive does not seem to be as successful. Users have recorded a complete lack of libido whist taking this product

Price Comparison

At around £6 for a box of 30 tablets, it certainly is cheap, maybe in our opinion it could be possibly too cheap

Product review – Boots Menolieve

This product is quite a traditional plant extract product that is aimed at reducing the symptoms of menopause, in-particular the horrible night sweats, hot flushes and mood swings. Its main component is the root extract of the plant known as Back Cohosh which is a well established remedy for these symptoms.

How do I take Menolieve

For oral use only, One tablet of Menolieve should be taken daily, the manufacturers specify to try and take it at the same time daily (morning or evening). Should be taken with water, but not chewed

Does Menolieve Work

Its hard to judge this one, even the Boots’ own website does not have any customer reviews.

Certainly Black Cohosh is known to have properties that help with the menopause symptoms, but there are other products on the market that contain a higher level (than the 6.5mg per tablet) of the core ingredient.

Price Comparison

Price wise this retails at £8.99 for 30 tablets, so still quite cheap

Product Review – Novogen Redclover isoflavones

These tablets are available at Boots and some other high street stockists and on line retailers

Its main ingredient is isoflavines which are often used to help treat some symptoms of the menopause. Manufacturers state that it is safe for women over the age of 18 which we find strange especially when it is aimed at menopause treatments – often for women around the age of 50.

The majority of British diets do not include foods that contain sufficient amounts of isoflavones, These are only found in certain pulses such as lentils, chickpeas and soy beans.

These natural isoflavones can mimic the effect of naturally occurring oestrogen and help ease the symptoms of the menopause

How to Use

Take one Novogen Redclover Isoflavones tablet daily.

A dose of Novogen Redclover Isoflavones contains 40mg of isoflavones

Does Novogen Redclover Work

Again while Red Clover is well known and documented to help with the menopause, The Boots’ website does not have any customer reviews to enable us to compare its product with other similar supplements

Coming from the same family as the common buttercup, Black Cohosh was discovered by the native Indians in America as an effective relief for the menopause.

Does MenoHerb Work?

Black Cohosh is widely accepted as one of the most effective menopausal relief supplements available to buy.

However we are unable to actually locate any customer reviews on this particular product.

The dosage in these tablets is  6.5mg of the active ingredient per dose which is quite low, there are alternative products offering more effective doses at similar prices.
