Hormonal changes can affect much more than your periods. From restless nights and brain fog to changes in your skin, mood and energy, perimenopause and menopause can leave you feeling less like yourself.
At Rejuvenated, we believe that understanding these changes is an important part of caring for yourself. Here we explore the role of nutrition, how our supplements can fit into your wellbeing routine, and when to seek personalised advice.
Understanding perimenopause and menopause symptoms
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when hormone levels change and periods often become irregular. Menopause is usually identified after 12 months without a period, when periods are not being affected by hormonal contraception or another cause.
Every experience is different. Common symptoms include hot flushes and night sweats, disrupted sleep, mood changes, tiredness, difficulty concentrating or remembering things, vaginal dryness, reduced sex drive, and muscle or joint aches. Skin may also become drier. These symptoms deserve support, especially when they affect daily life.
Female Hormone Support and hormonal wellbeing
Female Hormone Support combines suma, hops, hemp, alfalfa, reishi mushroom, schisandra berry, ashwagandha, red clover, selenium, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Vitamin B6 plays a role in regulating hormonal activity.
Vitamin B12 helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, while selenium supports normal thyroid function. These are nutritional roles; they do not mean that a supplement restores falling oestrogen levels or treats menopause symptoms.
The formula also includes botanicals often used in women's wellbeing supplements. Red clover contains plant compounds called isoflavones, which are structurally similar to oestrogen. Research into red clover for menopausal hot flushes has produced mixed results.
For us, supporting hormonal harmony means caring for your overall wellbeing through nutrition, rest, movement and appropriate healthcare, with realistic expectations about supplements.
Please note: Female Hormone Support isn’t suitable for everyone, especially if you are taking HRT, oestrogen or other hormone treatment. It also should not be taken if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you have polycystic ovaries, endometriosis or fibroids, in line with our current product guidance.
If you take other medication or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use. If Female Hormone Support is not suitable for you, we have other products that can help you to support you at this time.
Collagen Shots for skin, muscles, joints and bones
Dry or changing skin can be a frustrating part of midlife. Collagen Shots contains hydrolysed marine collagen, hyaluronic acid and supporting nutrients, including vitamin C and zinc.
Vitamin C helps your body make the collagen needed for normal skin function, while zinc supports the maintenance of normal skin. Collagen Shots offers a nutritional addition to your skin care routine alongside moisturiser, sun protection and a balanced diet.
Its role in your routine can extend beyond skin care. The vitamin C in Collagen Shots supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones, making it relevant to joint and bone care too. Its marine collagen supplies amino acids and adds to your dietary protein intake. For muscle health, keep varied protein sources and regular resistance exercise at the heart of your routine.
Researchers have also explored specific collagen peptides for bone health in postmenopausal women, activity-related joint discomfort, and muscle outcomes alongside exercise.
Think of Collagen Shots as one part of a routine that helps you care for your skin and stay active through these changes. It is not a hormone treatment, and individual results vary.
Advanced Bone Complex for menopause bone health
Bone health becomes especially important around menopause, when hormonal changes can contribute to loss of bone density. Advanced Bone Complex contains magnesium, vitamins D3, K2 and C, silicon and boron. Magnesium and vitamins D and K help maintain normal bones.
Vitamin D also supports calcium absorption, and vitamin C helps form collagen for normal bone function. [2] Pair nutritional support with calcium-rich foods and regular weight-bearing and resistance exercise. Advanced Bone Complex is not a treatment for osteoporosis or a replacement for a bone health assessment. Please note if you are taking blood thinners then this product is not suitable for you.
Cellular Calm Complex and your wind-down routine
Stress, tiredness and poor sleep can overlap during perimenopause and menopause. Cellular Calm Complex contains magnesium, L-theanine, rhodiola and supporting vitamins. Magnesium and vitamin B12 support normal psychological function, and vitamin B6 supports normal nervous system function.
Clinical studies show that magnesium also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. These roles make nutrition relevant to a wider routine that includes time to unwind, gentle movement and consistent sleep habits.
Make space for small moments of calm: a walk, a gentle stretch or a few quiet minutes at the end of the day. Nutrient benefits do not establish that the product treats anxiety or insomnia. Persistent mood or sleep difficulties are a reason to seek healthcare advice.
H3O Night Repair and your evening wellbeing routine
When your nights feel unsettled, a familiar evening routine can be a helpful starting point. H3O Night Repair is an evening supplement containing vitamins, minerals and botanical ingredients. Vitamin A supports normal skin maintenance, while vitamins C and E help protect cells from oxidative stress. [2]
It can fit into an evening wellbeing routine, to help you sleep more peacefully A cool bedroom, regular bedtime and reducing caffeine or alcohol if they trigger symptoms may help. If sleep remains disrupted, speak to your doctor or healthcare practitioner as they will be able offer help including menopause-specific cognitive behavioural therapy where appropriate.
H3O Hydration for everyday hydration
H3O Hydration is a drink mix containing electrolytes and vitamin C. Mixing it with water as directed can help you build a regular drinking habit. Its vitamin C helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. [2]
Hydration deserves attention if you are sweating more, including during hot flushes. Water remains important throughout the day. When cells are optimally hydrated they may help with concentration.
Regenerate and nutritional support for brain fog
Brain fog can feel like losing your train of thought, struggling to find a word or forgetting why you entered a room. Poor sleep and tiredness can make memory and concentration problems feel worse.
Regenerate contains zinc, vitamin B2 and other ingredients, including NMN and plant compounds. Zinc supports normal cognitive function, while vitamin B2 helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
These are useful nutritional roles to understand when thinking about mental wellbeing. [2] Many customers say that they find Regenerate helpful in combatting brain fog, Give yourself practical support too: write things down, take breaks and prioritise rest. If memory or concentration problems are persistent, worsening or affecting daily life, speak to your GP rather than assuming hormones are the only cause.
Re-set for everyday energy and metabolic wellbeing
Looking after your energy and metabolic wellbeing can be an important part of your perimenopause and menopause routine. Re-set provides nutritional support, with copper contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism and zinc supporting normal carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. It can complement the Mediterranean-style eating pattern we encourage for wellbeing - colourful vegetables, wholegrains, beans, olive oil, nuts and fish - alongside regular movement and restorative rest. Think of it as an addition to these nourishing everyday habits, helping you build a routine that supports you through midlife.
