Best pills for menopause

First, let's put things into context so that we can understand how menopause pills can help us. By understanding what happens to our body during menopause, we can better understand which pills will be most suitable for each of us and thus be able to make the decision for ourselves.

Menopause and changes

Menopause is another stage in a woman's life, after the fertile stage, which brings with it a series of hormonal and physical changes.

On the one hand, the ovaries lose their follicular function, that is, they stop releasing eggs to be fertilized ( loss of fertility ). On the other hand, this is accompanied by a loss of the ability to produce female reproductive hormones. These include estrogens , which have a protective function in women since most of the body's tissues have receptors for these hormones, that is, they intervene by regulating the function of many processes in our body.

The menopausal transition is usually a gradual phenomenon that includes different phases. Each phase involves specific endocrine and biological changes that give rise to clinical manifestations in the woman's body that are different depending on the phase she is in. For this reason, support during the menopause stage must take into account the uniqueness of each woman depending on the phase she is going through.

When to take pills?

Menopause can start at different times for each woman, usually between the ages of 45 and 55. The most common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia and vaginal dryness . It may be advisable to consider taking menopause pills if:

• Symptoms significantly affect your quality of life.
• You experience severe mood swings that interfere with your personal and work relationships.
• Hot flashes and night sweats disrupt your sleep and leave you exhausted during the day.
• Vaginal dryness causes pain during sexual intercourse.

Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial to determine the right time and precise dosage.

How to choose the best menopause pills for your stage?

As we have pointed out, the health professional will take into account your symptoms, as well as your previous medical history in order to guide you towards the most appropriate treatment. Depending on the symptoms you present, there are both hormonal and non-hormonal medications that can help with certain specific symptoms.

• Tibolone: ​​Hormonal treatment for hot flashes. It has been shown to reduce vasomotor symptoms and has a beneficial effect on bone mineral density.

• Ospemifene: It is the first non-estrogenic orally administered drug approved for the treatment of genitourinary syndrome.

• Madequa Supplements : This is another option for women looking for a more natural alternative or even a complementary option to Menopausal Hormonal Therapy. It is a set of natural supplements with effective and scientifically proven doses. Designed with gynecologists and formulated specifically for each of the stages of menopause (premenopause, perimenopause and postmenopause).

At Madequa, we pride ourselves on offering supplements specifically designed for the needs of women at each stage of menopause. Our products are formulated with natural ingredients and effective dosages , backed by science. If you're not sure what stage of menopause you're in yet, you can take our test , which also offers some lifestyle guidelines, as we understand that supplementation alone is not enough, combining it with diet, exercise and sleep care is key. We focus on treating the source, not just a specific symptom.

Stages of menopause

This is the phase prior to the menopause period and can last for several years. Menstruation is still frequent and although the first symptoms associated with menopause may begin, the most frequent are those associated with aging, such as greater flaccidity.

The ideal is to find pills that optimize women's health so that they can have a better menopause, such as Madequa's Premenopause - Prevention Pack . It is based on a set of natural supplements designed to be taken before menopause, to reduce the signs of aging and prepare the body to face menopause with fewer symptoms.

This pack contains 30 sachets with 4 tablets, which contain the following ingredients:

• Omega 3 : They have significant anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to cardiovascular, cognitive and skin health.
• Vit D + K : The synergy is greater than if they act separately. They contribute mainly to bone health, but they also offer protection at metabolic, cardiovascular and immune levels.
• Resveratrol: It is a powerful antioxidant. It contributes to skin, cognitive and metabolic health, helping with weight control.
• Ashwagandha : Contributes to the control of stress, anxiety and depression, as well as sleep care.

It is the transition phase between the fertile stage and menopause, during which menstruation becomes intermittent or begins to be absent . During this period, the typical symptoms of menopause become more noticeable and bothersome, such as hot flashes and sweating, which leads to both physical and emotional changes.

Opt for pills that contain a combination of ingredients that address the set of symptoms. Like Madequa's Perimenopause Relief Pack . It is a set of natural supplements with effective and scientifically supported doses that reduce the symptoms of menopause and reinforce well-being in a comprehensive way.

This pack contains 30 sachets with 4 tablets, which contain the following ingredients:

• Omega 3 : They have significant anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to cardiovascular, cognitive and skin health.
• Vit D + K : The synergy is greater than if they act separately. They contribute mainly to bone health, but they also offer protection at metabolic, cardiovascular and immune levels.
• Cimicifuga Racemosa Extract: Very effective in reducing hot flashes and sweating.
• Magnesium + Vit B6 : The effect of combining both is greater. It contributes to cognitive health (depression, anxiety, mood regulation), sleep care (improves overall quality) and bone health (helps prevent osteoporosis).

This is the phase after menopause , when one year has passed since the last menstrual period. It marks the end of the fertile period and the beginning of a new cycle. The symptoms of the previous stage decrease in intensity until they disappear, but the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases increases even more .

For this reason, it is important to choose pills that support bone and cardiovascular health, as well as continuing to manage residual symptoms such as Madequa's Postmenopause Pack - Protection . This pack is based on a set of natural supplements with effective and scientifically proven doses that have a protective effect to reduce the risk of diseases that increase after menopause and take care of health in a comprehensive manner.

This pack contains 30 sachets with 4 tablets, which contain the following ingredients:

• Omega 3 : They have significant anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to cardiovascular, cognitive and skin health.
• Vit D + K : The synergy is greater than if they act separately. They contribute mainly to bone health, but they also offer protection at metabolic, cardiovascular and immune levels.
• Curcumin: It has a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect which contributes to metabolic health and weight control, joint health and bone health, with a more powerful synergistic effect in combination with vitamin D.
• Bacopa: Neuroprotective and antioxidant effect that contributes to cognitive health, improving overall brain function and reducing stress and anxiety levels.

With the format offered by each Madequa pack, you avoid having thousands of bottles of supplements at home, which makes taking them easier and contributes to caring for the environment. In addition to our Madequa supplements , we recommend a healthy lifestyle and always consult a health professional. At Madequa we are committed to a comprehensive menopause , which is why our products are designed to help you feel better, live healthier and fully enjoy this stage of your life.
