Menopause Supplement


*****VOTED FAVOURITE MENOPAUSE PRODUCT 5 TIMES*****
Menopace is a food supplement and has been developed by health experts to provide nutritional balance during and after the menopause. 


The menopause marks the end of the reproductive period when the ovaries stop producing oestrogen. At this time certain vitamins and minerals are particularly important. 

Each Menopace® tablet contains a comprehensive combination of nutrients, especially for this time including vitamin B6 which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Vitamin D plus magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones plus biotin, pantothenic acid & vitamin B12 with copper and iron which contribute to normal energy release. 

In total,  Menopace® provides 22 nutrients in a scientifically developed micronutrient formula. It does not contain any hormones, and can be taken with or without Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Menopace® is suitable for use by women who have had partial or a full hysterectomy.

A regular intake of Menopace is required in order to see noticeable benefits which can take from one to three months. It can be taken long term, for as long as required, without any side effects. Menopace® is also recommended for those women who have an early menopause. 

All Menopace® products contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals, and NOT excessive amounts. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the Recommended Daily Amount (RDA), have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% RDA.
