The menopause is a natural stage of life that every woman goes through as oestrogen levels decline. It usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, but this can vary considerably.

Menopace is the most trusted menopause supplement brand*.

Menopace Calcium is specially formulated to provide advanced support for women, to be taken during perimenopause, and during and after the menopause. It combines the original Menopace formula with added calcium, calcium is needed to help maintain normal bones. The unique formula of 24 nutrients includes vitamin B6 which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, as well as 100mg Soya Isoflavones.

Bone Health

As we get older, particularly around the time of the menopause, our bone density can decrease as a result of the natural reduction in our oestrogen levels. Calcium helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women.** Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures‡, so it is especially important to make sure we safeguard our intake of calcium during this time.

Menopace Calcium provides 700mg calcium, plus magnesium, zinc and vitamin D, which all contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Based on the latest research, Menopace Calcium provides 'the sunshine vitamin', vitamin D which supports the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium .

† Ideal nutritional support in 12 areas:

1. Hormone Regulation

During the menopause, levels of specific hormones can change. Menopace contains vitamin B6 which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.

2. Mental Performance

Research suggests that changes occur in many brain areas during the period of the menopause, and looking after mental performance is important throughout life; common tips to keep mentally active include reading, learning a language, doing cross word and jigsaw puzzles. Menopace provides pantothenic acid which contributes to normal mental performance.

3. Cognitive Function

Menopace includes iron, zinc and iodine which contributes to normal cognitive function. Examples of cognitive functions include attention and decision making.

4. Physiological Function

Physiological changes can occur with fluctuations in hormones. Magnesium and vitamin C contribute to normal physiological function.

5. Nervous System

Menopace provides vitamin B12 and thiamin (vitamin B1), which contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system. The nerves carry messages between your brain and the rest of your body.

6. Bone Health

Bone health is particularly important for women during and after the menopause, as bone mass significantly declines. Menopace Calcium provides calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Menopace provides 10µg vitamin D, the level recommended as a daily supplement by the UK Department of Health, especially during the autumn and winter. Vitamin D also contributes to the absorption and utilisation of calcium from the diet.

7. Teeth Health

To help support dental health at this time Menopace includes vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of teeth, and vitamin C also helps with the function of blood vessels.

8. Muscle Function

Strength training is an important consideration for women during the menopause to make and maintain muscle. Vitamin D and magnesium are included as they contribute to normal muscle function.

9. Skin, Hair and Nails

As in many stages of life, fluctuations in hormones can affect the skin and hair. Oestrogen has a positive effect on the production of collagen, a substance that forms part of the bone matrix and skin structure. After the menopause, oestrogen levels and hence collagen production can significantly decline. Menopace includes vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, it also provides biotin which contributes to normal skin health and zinc which contributes to normal hair and nail health.

10. Heart Health

It is thought that lower oestrogen levels may influence heart and cardiovascular health in older women. Menopace includes thiamin (vitamin B1) which contributes to normal heart function, whilst vitamins B6 and B12 plus folate contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism. Maintaining healthy lower levels of the blood amino acid homocysteine is independently linked with heart health.

11. Immune System

The immune system helps to keep our bodies healthy. Menopace includes vitamins C and D which contribute to normal function of the immune system.

12. Energy Release

Maintaining an active lifestyle remains ever important at this life stage. Vitamin B12, biotin and minerals copper and iron contribute to normal energy release. While vitamins C and B6 help with the reduction in tiredness and fatigue.
