During (peri)menopause, the production of oestrogen and progesterone gradually decreases. These are two important female hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle and potential pregnancy. They impact your mood and also play a role in various physical processes such as your body's temperature regulation and skin elasticity. The decline in these female hormones therefore has significant consequences. Your menstrual cycle becomes irregular, and you may experience typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, fatigue, irritability, or less supple skin.

The answer to this question can vary depending on individual needs and health goals. Not every woman needs supplements to get through menopause, but many women find them useful to relieve symptoms and feel better and more balanced again. Here are some reasons why you might consider taking supplements:

Symptom Relief: Supplements can help reduce common symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, weight gain, and mood swings.

Bone Health: The decline in estrogen can lead to a loss of bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Supplements with calcium and vitamin D can help maintain strong bones.1

Heart Health: The risk of developing heart disease increases after menopause. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, can contribute to a healthier heart.

1Calcium contributes to the maintenance of strong bones. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of strong bones. Calcium and vitamin D help reduce the loss of bone minerals in menopausal women.

Hormonal balance is essential for your body to function well during menopause. Estrogens, which decline sharply during this phase, are not only involved in reproductive functions but also affect the cardiovascular system, bone health, and even brain function. When these hormones become imbalanced, it can lead to fatigue, loss of bone density, and cognitive problems. Many women also experience 'brain fog' during menopause, which can be very disruptive in their professional lives. A healthy lifestyle is always important to maintain hormonal balance: enough sleep, healthy eating, and exercise.

Insentials formulas aim to restore balance in your body. They contain a blend of active plant extracts, vitamins, and minerals that support your body's own hormone balance and help you feel better.

Perimenopause is the transitional period before menopause, during which hormone levels begin to fluctuate. You can't always be sure if you are already in perimenopause, as symptoms vary from person to person. Many women do notice changes in their menstrual cycle, sleep, or mood. When you haven't had a period for 12 months, you are in menopause. However, even that moment is not always clear for everyone, partly due to the contraception you use.

The Peri-Menopause Pack is specially formulated to be taken from the first phase – perimenopause. It helps maintain your hormone balance, so you experience fewer hormonal fluctuations.

• Magnesium helps with fatigue and contributes to normal muscle function.3
• Plant extracts like rhodiola help maintain hormonal balance, even during stressful times.2
• Maca helps maintain strong bones.8

Insentials menopause supplements are designed for women in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause. They can provide good support if you suffer from hot flashes, sleep problems, and mood swings, or if you want to maintain your weight and energy levels.

Your body undergoes significant hormonal changes during menopause and needs time to adjust. Supplements can support this process, but it doesn't happen overnight. Most women notice a difference after four to six weeks. They feel calmer, have fewer mood swings, and a more stable energy level. It is important to take the capsules consistently. Supplements only work optimally when used daily and long-term.

Yes, absolutely. Insentials has designed its supplements so they can be seamlessly combined without any risk of overdosing. To make things even easier, you can opt for the (Peri)Menopause Pack. This curated set is specifically designed for women in (peri)menopause and features three different supplements that complement each other perfectly: Detox Boost + Balance Me + Fat Burner.

Insentials supplements are formulated with pure, natural ingredients without unnecessary additives. Each ingredient is also carefully dosed. As a result, the supplements are generally well tolerated. If you have medical conditions or are taking medication, consult your doctor first.

Most supplements are taken once a day, preferably with a meal for better absorption of the active ingredients. Try to choose a fixed time so it becomes part of your daily routine – then you won't forget. It's also important to drink enough water.

Absolutely. The foundation of a good physical and mental balance remains balanced nutrition, sufficient exercise, and stress management. Supplements complement what you don't get enough of through food or for additional needs.
