MenoFriend^®

MenoFriend® supports a more comfortable menopause and is often taken alongside HRT, however we always recommend consulting with your GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if you're on HRT or medication.

We provide high-quality dietary supplements and foods. We cannot give medical advice. We would advise anyone to seek guidance from their GP or healthcare practitioner if there are any concerns using supplements when on HRT.

We do not recommend taking MenoFriend® with the combined pill due to interactions between the ingredients in MenoFriend® that may affect the contraceptive pill.

MenoFriend® is often taken alongside the mini pill (progesterone only). There are a few minor drug-nutrient interactions with this combination, so we recommend taking MenoFriend® and the mini pill at opposite times of the day. We always recommend consulting with your GP or healthcare practitioner before taking supplements if you're on medication, including the mini pill.

According to BBC Good Food guide to best menopause supplements, published in November 2025, MenoFriend is ranked as the Star Buy and 'Best Menopause Supplement'. With a star rating of 5/5, BBC Good Food says "Only two capsules a day deliver an impressive blend of nutrients in this vegan, allergen-free menopause formula. The eco-friendly pouch opens and reseals easily, and although the capsules carry a mild turmeric scent, there’s no taste when taken. Inside is a thoughtful mix of B12, D3, K2 and botanicals such as red clover and sage. Free from additives and easy to take, it’s a dependable daily option for menopause support."

PeriMenoFriend® is formulated for women going through perimenopause, which can begin 4-10 years before menopause. It is very normal to still have periods, even if they are irregular, through perimenopause. The signs of perimenopause are very similar to those experienced during menopause.

PeriMenoFriend® helps support the heightened feelings during perimenopause. MenoFriend® has been used by over 50,000 women and can also be taken through postmenopause.

It is important to understand women that are of menopausal age are healthy adults. As such we provide nutritional products to support good health alongside a balanced diet. Our products can be taken at any age but the dietary challenges when we are older can become more important for some.

Perimenopause is the first stage of menopause that can begin 4-10 years before menopause. Menopause is when a woman has gone for a full 12 months without a menstrual cycle, so if you're still having periods, even if irregular, you are in perimenopause. PeriMenoFriend® is formulated to support the health and wellbeing of women during perimenopause. Learn more in "How do I know if I'm starting menopause".

MenoFriend®️ may be suitable for signs of menopause after a hysterectomy. A full hysterectomy often causes a person to go into surgical menopause immediately when the ovaries have been removed. It is also possible for one or both ovaries to be left intact after a hysterectomy. Ovaries are responsible for producing oestrogen and progesterone. If you still retain your ovaries, you will experience menopause as normal.

The time it takes to feel a difference from taking any supplements varies by individual due to many factors including the stage of menopause, age, weight, diet and the foods you eat, lifestyle, exercise and other factors.

MenoFriend® is formulated so you can thrive through menopause and postmenopause. MenoFriend® is safe to take for as long as necessary and it is helping you thrive. We always advise that if you don't feel you need to take supplements, that is a good thing, so it can be a good idea to stop taking supplements if you don't feel you need them and if you feel you've achieved your health goal.

Menopause supplements can be taken at any time of the day. The most common time to take MenoFriend® is in the evenings. However, you can take your two MenoFriend® capsules together or separately, in the mornings, daytime or evening. It is a case of learning and adapting to what works best for you and your body.

To enjoy the benefits of MenoFriend®, it's important to take two capsules consistently each day.

Most menopause supplements are safe when taken as directed and chosen carefully. We always recommend looking for products that are made with high-quality ingredients and free from unnecessary additives. Safety also depends on your individual health, so it’s best to review your supplements with a healthcare professional, especially if you’re on other medications or have underlying conditions.

Generally, menopause supplements do not directly cause weight gain. Hormonal changes during this life stage can make weight management more challenging, but most quality supplements are designed to support balance, not add extra calories. If anything, the right nutrients may help maintain a healthy metabolism, support energy and reduce signs of menopause that make it harder to stay active.

You can start menopause supplements at any stage, whether you’re in perimenopause (when symptoms first appear) or postmenopause - if they’re appropriate for your needs. The 'right' time is when you start noticing changes to your body and mood. A tailored approach based on your signs and nutritional gaps works best.
