Managing Menopause with a Natural Alternative: Is Rhubarb the Answer?

A staggering 51% of menopausal women are not currently treating or managing their symptoms1. Are you one of those suffering in silence? Or are you looking for a natural alternative to help manage your symptoms? A NEW ingredient derived from rhubarb could be the answer.

What is Menopause?

Menopause occurs over three stages throughout the average 5-10 year cycle as outlined in the simplified diagram below.

Menopause Stages

Typically, menopause starts between 45-50 with perimenopause, where hormone levels start to drop. While the body is transitioning into menopause (and nearing final menstruation), the ovaries begin to wind down and big hormonal shifts occur, which can feel erratic and chaotic. During this time, women may experience the first onset of the below common menopause symptoms2.

  • Hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Emotional issues & irritability
  • Libido issues
  • Problems sleeping
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Aches and pains

Most women will experience at least a few symptoms, and these vary greatly from one woman to the next.
