What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause refers to the transitional stage leading up to menopause. People researching nutrition during this life stage may compare daily multivitamins, mineral supplements and botanical formulas.
A food supplement cannot replace medical advice, a balanced diet or appropriate treatment. Anyone experiencing new, severe or persistent symptoms should speak to a doctor or another qualified healthcare professional.
How to Compare Perimenopause Nutrition Formulas
When comparing women’s nutritional supplements, check the precise amount of each ingredient rather than relying only on the front product name.
Important points to compare include:
- The amount supplied by the complete daily serving
- The percentage Nutrient Reference Value of each vitamin and mineral
- The number of capsules required each day
- The number of servings provided in each bottle
- The botanical extracts included
- Whether other supplements provide the same vitamins and minerals
- Whether the capsule shell meets your dietary requirements

- The normal functioning of the nervous system
- The normal function of the immune system

The authorised claim is that vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of normal hormonal activity. It does not mean that the supplement treats a hormonal imbalance or menopausal symptoms.

Botanical ingredients should be assessed by looking at their precise amount, the plant part used and any suitability or medication warnings shown on the product label.
Maca Root Extract
Maca is a botanical root ingredient commonly supplied as a powder or concentrated extract.

Each recommended daily serving provides 200mg of rhodiola rosea root extract.
No medicinal or symptom-relief claim is made for the rhodiola contained within this product.
