How we rate evidence
- Strong — multiple RCTs or meta-analyses in peri/postmenopausal women
- Moderate — at least one quality RCT, mixed results elsewhere
- Emerging — promising mechanism, smaller trials
Three things to check before you buy
- 1. Dose matches the trial. Many menopause complexes contain 10× less than the studied dose.
- 2. Form matters. Magnesium glycinate ≠ magnesium oxide. Vitamin D3 ≠ D2. Read the label.
- 3. Third-party tested. Look for NSF, USP or Informed Sport — supplement quality is wildly inconsistent.
Educational only. Some supplements interact with HRT, blood thinners and SSRIs — check with your GP or pharmacist before starting anything new, especially if you have a history of hormone-sensitive cancer.
Skip the guesswork — get the foundations right.
