MenoFree®: Naturally harmonious through the menopause
Food supplement with yam root and B vitamins from organic plant extracts
Menopause - a time of change
The menopause is the very last menstrual period in a woman's life. The technical term for the phase before and after this milestone (i.e. the actual menopause) is actually climacteric. Nevertheless, "menopause" has become a synonym for the menopause. Perhaps because it sounds nicer? In any case, the menopause heralds a new phase of life for women. When the fertile phase slowly comes to an end, it's not just the female body that changes; personal perceptions change too. Usually around the age of 45, the hormone balance begins to change inexorably. From the so-called pre- to perimenopause, the ovaries produce fewer and fewer sex hormones, periods become irregular and eventually stop altogether.
The menopause takes its name literally
As different as the hormonal balance of women in the first half of life is, the menopause is just as individual. Some women feel thedrop in oestrogen levelsand the associated changes, while some hardly notice it at all. A mindful lifestyle withconscious diet, sufficient exercise and good stress managementcan have a positive effect on physical and mental well-being during this challenging time. Making targeted adjustments here is definitely worthwhile!
B vitamins are particularly important in the diet, and some substances from the plant kingdom can also provide support. If the daily diet does not reflect the increased need for essential nutrients, a good dietary supplement can be useful. Vitamin B6, for example, contributes to the regulation of anormal hormone activitywhile vitamin B5 supports thesynthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogen)is supported.

Menopause, climacteric, premenopause, perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause: when is what?
-
The term menopause refers to the entire period during which a woman's hormone balance changes from "fertile" to "no longer fertile". The technical term for the menopause is climacteric. The term "menopause" is often mistakenly used as a synonym instead, but it correctly refers to a completely different milestone (see Menopause).
-
First changes in the hormone balance, usually around the age of 40. The production of the sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone slows down somewhat, while at the same time more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced. Sometimes the cycle now becomes irregular or the first PMS-like symptoms, such as irritability or water retention, become noticeable. If the ovaries stop working at this stage or even earlier, this is known as premature menopause or climacterium praecox.
-
The premenopause is immediately followed by the perimenopause, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. Fewer and fewer eggs, oestrogen and progesterone are produced, which can really upset the hormonal system. The cycles can therefore be either longer or shorter and the bleeding can be weaker or heavier. Some women also experience typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disorders, depression or a drop in libido.
-
Only the actual last menstrual period in a woman's life is correctly referred to as the menopause. On average, this occurs around the age of 52. The woman no longer ovulates and it is highly unlikely that conception will take place. However, the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) continues to be produced.
-
If a woman's very last period was more than a year ago, the so-called postmenopause begins. Bleeding is a thing of the past. With a bit of luck, menopausal symptoms will subside; however, other inconveniences such as dry skin and mucous membranes, joint pain or increased facial hair growth may also occur. It is important to take good care of your bones during this time, as the lack of oestrogen makes them more fragile and increases the risk of osteoporosis. Food supplements with calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K, magnesium and iodine can make an important contribution to this. The menopause is only over when the hormonal "restructuring" is complete at around 60-65 years of age and the so-called senium (old age) begins.
