Menopause Ultimate Calm Bundle

Menopause technically lasts for only one day, which is the day you have been 12 consecutive months without a menstrual cycle. The time until this day is 'perimenopause' and the time after this day is 'postmenopause'. Perimenopause is the first stage of the menopause transition, which is the natural decline of ovarian function, where oestrogen production decreases and ovulation stops. It is a delicate period that usually begins 4-10 years before menopause, when the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. 'Menopause' is the day when a woman has gone without a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months and the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs. Postmenopause is the next day after menopause and beyond.

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.

Stay Calm® can be taken over the long term and is formulated for just that purpose - Stay Calm® is your daily partner to manage pressure of daily life, and brings natural calm, balance, energy and focus.

While it is often sensible with supplements to take a break if you feel able to, it is not necessary with Stay Calm® if you wish to continue taking them. Ashwagandha KSM-66® is fine to take over the long term at the dosage in Stay Calm® - where Ashwagandha can be at higher dosages, for example at 500mg, it is generally advisable to take a break after 4-6 months, however even at that dosage it is not essential.

As such you can continue taking Stay Calm® over the long term, either at the recommended dosage of two capsules a day or you can try taking one capsule a day if that provides sufficient support.

We recommend taking two capsules each day, and you can take your capsules together or separately, in the morning, daytime or in the evening. There isn't a right or wrong time to take Stay Calm® - many people take it in the mornings each day for daily support, while others take it in the afternoons if they typically feel stressed later in the day. Find the right time for you and ideally take your Stay Calm® before the onset of tension or stress.

We advise trying one or the other because, for the majority of people, either Stay Calm® or Ashwagandha KSM-66® provides the necessary support for natural calm, focus, energy, and stamina.

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.

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.

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.

Stay Calm® provides natural balance, energy and focus, helping the body stay calm. It supports a balanced mood, helping the mind and body overcome pressure and tension, so you can rise to the demands of 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.

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.

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.

Stay Calm® combines a blend of adaptogens, vitamins and minerals to help you enjoy natural calm so you can focus on getting the most out of your day. It provides the essential nutrients to support your body's own production of calming neurotransmitters and hormones. In addition, Stay Calm® also contains botanicals which have been shown in research to support a balanced and calm mood.
