Menopause Support: What's Inside and What the Research Says

Menopause is a natural transition — but that doesn't mean it has to feel overwhelming. At My Balance, we formulated our Menopause Support supplement with a thoughtful blend of herbs, adaptogens, probiotics, and nutrients that have been studied extensively in peer-reviewed research. Here's a closer look at some of the key ingredients and what scientists have been exploring.

Black Cohosh — One of the Most Studied Herbs for Women's Wellness

Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa) is one of the most researched botanicals in the context of women's hormonal transitions. Hundreds of studies on PubMed have explored its traditional use and potential role in supporting women's comfort and balance during hormonal change. It has been a staple in women's wellness for centuries and remains one of the most popular botanical ingredients in this category worldwide.

Ashwagandha — The Adaptogen for Everyday Stress

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a well-known adaptogenic herb with a rich history in Ayurvedic medicine. Research indexed on PubMed has investigated its potential role in helping the body adapt to everyday stress, supporting energy levels, and promoting a sense of calm — all things that can feel especially important during life's natural transitions.

Maca Root — Energy and Vitality from the Andes

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a Peruvian root vegetable that has been used for thousands of years to support energy and vitality. Studies on PubMed have explored its potential in the context of women's wellness, particularly around hormonal balance and mood. It's a fascinating ingredient with a growing body of research behind it.

Red Clover — A Natural Source of Isoflavones

Red Clover is rich in isoflavones — plant-based compounds that have been widely studied for their potential role in women's health. Researchers on PubMed have examined isoflavones extensively, making Red Clover one of the more scientifically explored botanicals in women's wellness supplements.

DIM (Diindolylmethane) — From Cruciferous Vegetables

DIM is a natural compound derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. It has attracted significant scientific interest, with numerous studies on PubMed exploring its relationship with hormonal balance and cellular health in women. It's a relatively newer ingredient in the supplement world but one with a compelling research profile.

Probiotics — Supporting the Gut-Hormone Connection

Our formula includes a 40 billion CFU probiotic blend featuring Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Lactobacillus plantarum, protected with MAKTREK® bi-pass technology for enhanced survivability. Emerging research on PubMed has been exploring the fascinating connection between gut microbiota and hormonal health in women, making probiotics an exciting area of study in the context of menopause support.

Rhodiola, Ginseng & Ginkgo — Adaptogens for Mind and Body

Rounding out the formula are three well-researched adaptogens. Rhodiola rosea has been studied for its potential to support mental clarity and resilience under stress. Ginseng is one of the most extensively researched herbs in the world, with thousands of PubMed studies exploring its effects on energy and vitality. Ginkgo biloba has long been studied for its potential cognitive support properties.

A Complete Formula, Thoughtfully Made

Our Menopause Support supplement also includes Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Dong Quai, Wild Yam, Chaste Berry, Flaxseed, DHEA, and marine polysaccharides — each chosen to complement the overall formula and support women's balance, energy, and daily vitality.
