Ian Marber: Menopause Support

I have been working with individual clients for almost 30 years, and so some I met at the very start of my career. And I still see them as they come back for updated nutrition advice as the years pass

Some of my clients I have known since they were first married, and now their children come for advice as they leave home for the first time and have to sort out their own food.

As for the parents, I might be speaking to a man about his interest in his health as he ages and tweaking his nutrition to take into account, say, raised cholesterol or prostate issues.

For women, the changes in hormones are usually a primary concern. There are more and more resources and some first rate health professionals who offer nutritional support for menopause perhaps you follow some of them already. And there are some great books too, I often recommend one or two for my clients.

But if that’s what you’re looking for, nutritional support for menopause, there are some specialist supplements created just for this life stage. For example, the Menopause Support; from Solgar, which is part of their life stage and nutritional support for women 45+.

This one has just two nutrients - uniquely designed botanical formula including Affron® Saffron to help support a positive mood and Siberian Rhubarb extract to help support you during your life change. By the way, Affron is a patented, standardised extract made from the stigmas of the saffron flower – I didn’t know either!
