Meno-Balance | Supplements for Perimenopause & Menopause

Endocrine Modulation & Thermal Comfort

The vasomotor symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes and night sweats, are linked to changes in hypothalamic temperature regulation as oestrogen levels decline and fluctuate.

Meno-Balance Complex supports the body to manage these changes through a combination of traditional Western anti-hidrotics (sweat-reducing herbs) and Ayurvedic rasayanas (rejuvenating tonics).

Salvia officinalis (Sage) contains volatile oils and phenolic acids that exert a balancing, and cooling influence on the body’s natural temperature regulation. This traditional action is complemented by Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), historically revered as the “Queen of Herbs” in the Ayurvedic tradition. Rich in natural steroidal saponins, Shatavari gently supports the endocrine system during times of hormonal flux, helping to ease the intensity of thermal surges while restoring moisture to dry, depleted tissues.

Adaptogenic Stress Response & Emotional Equilibrium

As ovarian hormone production becomes more variable during perimenopause, the body increasingly relies on peripheral conversion of adrenal androgens to contribute to circulating oestrogen levels. At the same time, changes in ovarian hormones can interact with the body’s stress-response systems, influencing energy, mood and resilience during the menopausal transition. When stress levels are high, changes in cortisol signaling can affect the mood, and lead to anxiety, and sleep fragmentation. To counter this, our herbalists included Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), a valued adaptogen that modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Ashwagandha supports the nervous system in managing emotional and physical stressors, easing irritability, and supporting a calm, grounded mental state necessary for restorative sleep. This emotional balancing effect is further enhanced by Tribulus terrestris, which traditionally supports a healthy, balanced libido and cardiovascular vitality during this major life transition.

Liver Support & Tissue Soothing

A vital, often overlooked component of balanced hormonal transitions is optimal liver function.The liver plays a central role in metabolising circulating hormones, converting them into forms that can be safely eliminated from the body through bile and urine. 

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) provides traditional and nutritional support for liver health. Its silymarin compound has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties which support the liver’s natural metabolic processes, including the processing and elimination of circulating metabolic wastes products and hormone metabolites. Because hormonal shifts can alter digestive motility and lead to bloating, this complex also contains Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) and Rose (Rosa). Rich in soothing mucilage, Marshmallow root coats and protects the gastrointestinal tract, while the cooling, astringent nature of Rose petals helps ease digestive acidity, lifts the spirits, and supports a peaceful, tranquil sleep pattern.
