For those of you that know me, writing about menopause symptoms won’t come as that much of a shock. And for anyone that hasn’t read this blog before I’ll give you a bit of background information. Back in December 2012, I had a full hysterectomy and ovaries removed. This means I’m now classed as menopausal as I no longer have a period each month.

What it also means is that I have all the lovely side effects and symptoms that go with it. These can vary from person to person but the main ones I have are hot flushes and night sweats which can make things really fun (especially in summer). I also have an increased number of headaches and hair loss. These are only some of the symptoms you can experience and for a full list, you can find them all on the NHS website.
I will admit that I am on HRT to try and combat some of the menopause symptoms because without it it was quite literally hell. I went cold turkey for a month when I was on decapeptyl injections which mimic not having any ovaries and it was probably the worst month of my life. The HRT does what it can but it’s not 100% effective and there are times where I feel like I need a little extra help. If you’d like more information about the rest of the medication that I take I have a blog post about that too.
I’d been looking into supplements for a while and came across Cleanmarine Menomin* which are designed to provide nutritional support for menopausal and peri-menopausal women. The main ingredients are Omega 3, Biotin, Rosemary Oil and Soy Isoflavones but unfortunately, I’ve had to give these away as I’m allergic to the ingredients. The person I gave them to is finding a reduction in their symptoms while taking the tablets and reported feeling healthier while taking them too. I am annoyingly allergic to most of the herbal alternatives for HRT but I’m doing more research into what I can take with my food allergies.

I hope this post had helped you but don’t forget if you’re having specific symptoms or issues then speak to your doctor.
