i feel that trembling inside my body too Especially in the morning it is so bad so bad I take ash ashwaganda for it and it helps me some days. Wake up with a lot of nervousness.
Having my libido at 10 on a scale 1-10 my all life, its now a personal tragedy for me once lost due to age hormonal changes.It does not matter what I do, it is not coming back! If I could trade all other 50 plus symptoms for my old sex drive, I would in a heartbeat! I feel like my life is over...And suggestions? Please give me some advice! Thank you!
Hi Lena There are several herbal remedies that are supposed to help with libido; Muria Puma and Maca. However, I can't say for sure that they are effective. I would suggest doing a bit of research on them to see if either would be of benefit for you. Best Wishes Eileen
It is best to take several regular doses of magnesium rather than just one high dose. If you take magnesium at night it can often help with sleep but it won’t make you drowsy if you take some in the morning.
I take 5,000 iu of vit d but I have gained weight since I started. Could this actually be causing the weight gain? Also taking Ashwaganda 500 mgs which is an herb. It actually seems to be helping me with constipation and deeper sleep. Are you familiar with Ashwaganda?
Hi Sandra Were you advised to take such a high dose by your doctor? If so then it is best to go back to them and let them know about the weight gain, they may need to do some tests to find out what is happening. If you have just decided to take this by yourself then it may be better to go on to a much lower dose, especially if you wish to take it all the time. Ashwagandha can be really effective for some women in the menopause; I have used it myself with good results for morning anxiety.
I was advised to take a Saffron supplement to help balance hormones alongside Vitamin D3 and digestive enzymes. I have fibroids and noticed they went crazy active when they had calmed down previously. Pain, cramping - when this had calmed down for the past how many months. I stopped taking the saffron and the fibroids have calmed down a bit - still painful. Also anxiety shot up! Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve noticed supplements that affect hormonal levels have too stimulating and negative an impact on my body.
Hi Michelle Unfortunately, some women are really sensitive to supplements and herbs but it looks like you listen to your body well and that can help pick the best remedies. Best Wishes Eileen
You are probably overdoing the Omega 6 if you take evening primrose on top of your 3-6-9. You may find that just taking an Omega-3 is more helpful, as that is so anti-inflammatory and good for your skin. Flaxseed oil is a good source.
and alos is it SAFE to take Menopace original along with Primerose Oil and Multivitamins with Iron..I am so terrified because it's been the whole month now of August am bleeding please can youhelp I need some advice what should I do...Thank you so mUch and rely appreciated and so be grateful for your help..
Hi Hilda A vitamin B Complex 50mg and also magnesium can be supportive for the nervous system. B vits should be taken in the morning and magnesium any time.
Bonjour, Could you please advise how many times per year to take supplements? For instance, particular dose with one month duration and how many times per year? Also, it’s important to take vitamin supplements from October to March... So how to manage all that? The vitamins I am going to take - Magnesium B6;B complex; D3+K2; Zinc, Omega 3; Vitamin C (I am aware how to manage)) Thanks in advance for your kind reply.
Hi E In the menopause it is best to take supplements every day if possible rather than just taking at certain times of the year as your body needs extra for all the changes going on. The only one you may not need all year would be the vitamin D as long as your get out and about regularly in the summer months. The supplements you wish to take is a good combination! Best Wishes Eileen
A.Vogel UK I appreciate your prompt answer!!! Also, thanks a thousand for your helpful recommendations and advices. You are the best on RUclips to follow and get knowledge.
i am in the whole month bleeding now(not too heavy)so am using pads every single day..Is it normal? lots of pain in legs/hips and shoulder and numbing hands, Also is fine taking a MENOPACE original is it ok to take this supplements in perimenopause? Please need your advice.. Thank you so much
Hi Chryza If you have been bleeding for this long it is really important that you see your doctor. They may be able to give you something to stop the bleeding and also check that other health issues such as fibroids or a prolapse are not contributing to the bleeding. We don't recommend any tablets that have soya in them in this situation as it is possible they could make it worse, sorry, however, a general multivit is a good idea. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Michelle If you are getting day time symptoms then take with your breakfast, if you are getting night time symptoms, take with your evening meal and if you are getting both, still take with your evening meal. Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Angie In general, if your diet is reasonably good, then the following are a suitable approx. daily dose: Calcium 500mg Magnesium 300 Zinc 15mg Best Wishes Eileen
Hi AurA A B Complex 50mg is a good idea to help support your nervous system. I don’t often recommend EPO in the menopause as I find you can get better results with a fish oil supplement (or Flaxseed if you are vegetarian or vegan)
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions. I'm currently taking EPO and will stop today and get the flaxseed or menopause support supplement. You are a blessing because I'm learning so much stuff, my dr couldn't answer Happy Holidays
Vits/minerals good for hair include the B Vitamins, vit C, iron, MSM, selenium to name a few. Your local health store should have a variety of products all formulated to help hair growth.
I have the trouble that I find swallowing pills almost impossible. Currently I am on the lead up to starting the menopause and in winter I take a multi vit with Evening Primrose in it that seems to help. I have a jelly version. Can you get magnesium in a liquid or at least non pill form thank you.
I have the same problem. I'm constantly on the lookout for any liquid or other way to get all the right vitamins and minerals in? I ask the same as Sarah.
Nature's Best make a magnesium citrate powder, which is a well absorbed form. You dissolve it in water, and it tastes very nice. I'd start on half the suggested dose at first though, as it's quite an effective laxative! 🙂 Another option is a liquid magnesium made by Floradix. I haven't used it myself, but it's a good brand and gets good reviews.
Hi eleen how are you Eleen I m taking women one rain bow multivitamin and vitamin d32000 so women one multivitamin is good during menupose plus I m taking healthy diet like fruits and vegetables so pls let me know multivitamin is good
Hi Anita It is a good idea to take a multivit although I have not heard of Rainbow? Please can I ask why you are taking such as high vitamin D supplement? Did your doctor advise this or have you just decide by yourself to take ? Well done for having plenty of fruits and veg as this is really important! Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Belinda Headaches are often caused by low magnesium, dehydration or low blood sugar levels. You may find a magnesium supplement, approx 150mg twice a day helpful and make sure that you are drinking lots of plain water, over and above your other drinks and don't go long periods without food. If, however, these don't help and the headaches get worse then do check with your doctor as well. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk hi Eileen, thank you so much for your reply, I just started magnesium yesterday, fingers crossed. I absolutely love all the advice you give. Keep sharing your knowledge. 🙂💫💕
Dr gave me 50,000 of the vitamin D one per week for 12 weeks with 1 refill because my bloodwork showed i was extremely low in vitamin D. I also take magnesium at night and i just got a GNC multi pack for woman with helps for bones, mind and bladder along with a multi vitamin. I also have a vitamin B with nerve support.
Thanks eleen yeah dr. Prescribed me vitamin d and multivitamin. Beside he said take soi m taking multivitamin is plant based like organic based before I never take any medicine but now no choice
Hi Nelly A multivit is a good idea but it does depend on how good your diet is as well; if it's not healthy then you may need more indvidual supplements to help you through. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk Hello! I know most doctors will tell you you need at least 5000 a day if you are not in sunlight often so I guess I will ust take my multivitamin it seems to have plenty in it... I am not outdoors a whole lot even though I am in the south. Thanks for responding!
