Menopause, a rollercoaster of hormonal changes that can make even the most resilient women feel like they’re riding a turbulent wave.
One moment, you’re cool as a cucumber, and the next, you’re drenched in sweat, battling insomnia, and feeling like your body is staging a rebellion against you.
That’s the reality of peri/menopause—the symptoms range from mildly annoying to downright debilitating, leaving many women desperate for relief.
You might have heard about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) as the go-to solution.
While it can be effective, HRT can come with some not-so-fun side effects, like 1, 2:
Plus, the cost for HRT can vary greatly depending on where you live (from $47 to over $800 annually), and this could be a major drawback of this treatment option for many individuals.3
Yes you can.
Many women are turning to powerful peri/menopause supplements to manage their symptoms naturally and effectively. Not only are they typically more affordable than HRT, but they can also address your specific needs without the potential downsides.
In fact, studies show that 40-50% of women choose to use complementary therapies, like peri/menopause supplements formulated for menopause.4
Here’s why supplements might be your new best friend:

These friendly bacteria aren’t just good for your gut health. Emerging research suggests probiotics may also help with weight management — one of the biggest obstacles women face during menopause.
Clinical studies have shown that certain probiotic strains, specifically L.Gasseri, B.Breve & B.Lactis, may help with:
Known as the “Miracle Tree,” and largely unknown in the west, the moringa tree is the most nutrient-dense food on the planet. Moringa leaves are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that’s great for well-being.
Studies show that Moringa Leaf may help with:
Black Cohosh is a traditional medicine with a long history of use among Native Americans and European settlers for treating menstrual irregularities, musculoskeletal pain, and women’s reproductive issues.
However, although it has been widely studied for menopause relief over 70 years, no studies ever reported a conclusive mechanism of action. [11]
One study of 351, 45-55 year old women reported black cohosh had no effect on reducing hot flashes or night sweats compared with the placebo group. In fact, after 12 months, women taking a black cohosh multi botanical formula with soy foods reported a significant increase in symptom intensity. [12]
Simply put: Black Cohosh may not be as effective in cooling hot flashes as advertised.
Soy has mild estrogenic effects. A systematic review of 19 clinical trials showed soy reduced the severity of hot flashes 11%-26%. [13]
Another study found that while soy was beneficial to hot flashes, time to experience benefits ranged from several weeks to months. [14]
Notably, reviewers of the systematic clinical trial review are affiliated with the Soy Nutrition Institute and could have vested interest. Soy may help with hot flashes but doesn’t seem to have any effect on other menopausal symptoms like weight gain and reduced bone density.
Provitalize is the only probiotic in our list that contains all 3 of the best strains for women experiencing menopause. It’s uniquely marketed as a probiotic with fat-burning & metabolism-boosting properties.
According to their official website, over 2,000,000 women have shed the stubborn weight with just two capsules a day. The thousands of glowing reviews on Amazon, Trustpilot & Okendo are undeniable proof that Provitalize is worthy of our top spot.
In addition to probiotics, Provitalize contains a herbal blend with demonstrated benefits for premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women including turmeric root extract, moringa leaf extract, and curry leaf extract. Together these have been shown to combat inflammation and bloating, decrease hot flashes, joint pain, and support healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Bioperene (black pepper extract) and sunflower lecithin are shown to enhance absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial properties of herbal formulas.
Want faster visible weight results from Provitalize? Then the Slim Gut Bundle is for you.
This holistic bundle combines the weight-management powers of Provitalize with ‘super fiber’ prebiotics in Previtalize.
The probiotics in Provitalize feed on these ‘super fibers’ to multiply faster and survive longer in the gut. This means women can experience faster benefits you’ll normally see on Provitalize — such as a healthier weight & lesser cravings.
That’s not all.
When the probiotics feed on the prebiotic fibers, they produce something called SCFA (Short Chain Fatty Acid). SCFAs have been studied to regulate fat metabolism by increasing fat burning and decreasing fat storage. [15][16][17]
We listed the Slim Gut Bundle 2nd only because it costs more than Provitalize alone. Other than that, we believe it’s the best-value-for-money bundle in the market right now.
Each 2 capsule of GleeFull Over 30 Hormone Support contains a mix of vitamins and minerals (Vitamin A, Thiamine, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Pantothenic Acid, Zinc), 802 mg of their proprietary blend of herbs (horny goat weed powder, dong quai root, ashwagandha, catuaba bark, damiana leaf, ginger, maca root, etc.), 100 mg each of amino acids (L-arginine, L-tyrosine), and 0.5 mg of Bioperine™ Black Pepper Extract.
The ingredients listed in GleeFull Over 30 Hormone Support are generally safe. Herbs like horny goat weed, ashwagandha and dong quai have been studied to elevate estrogen and help with hormonal balance. The added vitamins and amino acids also help to support better well-being.
Hormone Harmony is produced in Australia and owned by an Australian company.
We like that Hormone Harmony has combined multiple ingredients backed by scientific studies to improve menopausal symptoms.
However, Hormone Harmony is the most expensive option on the market, presumably because they spend a lot on advertising and packaging. Despite the higher price tag, customers are generally quite satisfied with the product, similar to other menopause supplements on the market. Because of its price, we recommend trying this product after you’ve exhausted all alternatives.
&ME Peri + Menopause is a new women’s healthcare product created by Dr.kellyann, known by many for their bone broths.
Each capsule contains 600 mcg of Chromium, 306 mg of their Hormonal Health Support Blend (Japanese thistle whole plant, thyme leaf, chasteberry), 84 mg of their Menopause Symptom Relief Complex (L-Theanine, saffron, maca root, rhodiola rosea root) and 75 mg of their Digestive Wellness Complex (Glucoamylase, amylase, cellulase, acid protease, bromelain, lactase, papain, fungal protease, lipase, maltase, invertase, Gylcine, L-Proline, Lactobacillus LB Fermentate).
We like that &ME Peri + Menopause has a holistic blend of ingredients. However, we’re disappointed to see that they do not specify just how much of each ingredient is contained inside each capsule.
Speaking of ingredients, those listed in &ME Peri + Menopause looks safe for consumption. Saffron has been studied for its ability to help with menopausal symptoms like mood swings, anxiety and depression, and the mixture of thistle & thyme is also studied to help with bone health & symptom relief. We like that they’ve included postbiotics in their blend, but we would preferred if they added more diverse probiotic strains for the digestive support.
Now, &ME Peri + Menopause is one of the pricier options on this list, so unless if you’ve got cash to spare we recommend looking for another option that’s easier on your budget.
