What do I need?

Vitamins & Minerals

Increasing your intake of certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium and B vitamins, may help to counteract hormonal changes and symptoms of menopause.

Protein

Protein is essential before, during, and after menopause to support muscle maintenance, bone health, weight management, and a healthy metabolism.

Adaptogens

Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that can help the body adapt to stress, anxiety and fatigue, and maintain balance, helping to enhance resilience and improve overall wellbeing.

Digestive Support

Hormonal changes can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to bloating, irregular digestion, and decreased nutrient absorption.

Calcium and Vitamin D

These nutrients are both vital for maintaining bone health, especially as declining oestrogen levels during menopause can weaken bone density and elevate the risk of osteoporosis. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake is essential for keeping bones strong and reducing the likelihood of fractures. Nuzest Good Green Vitality includes these nutrients in highly bioavailable forms such as red marine algae, which naturally contain significant amounts of calcium carbonate, and vitamin D3 from vegan cholecalciferol, ensuring optimal absorption to support bone health.

Magnesium

As oestrogen declines during menopause and magnesium absorption decreases with age, this essential mineral becomes even more critical. Magnesium supports the nervous system, helps to balance mood, reduce anxiety and improve sleep, while also aiding in bone density alongside calcium, and is vital for the body’s natural vitamin D production. By including magnesium in a bioavailable form, Good Green Vitality provides women support with this essential mineral to help ease the hormonal fluctuations of menopause.

B Vitamins

B vitamins are essential during menopause as they support energy production, nervous system health and mood balance, and one-carbon metabolism, which helps prevent cognitive decline and cardiovascular issues. Deficiencies in B vitamins can lead to elevated homocysteine levels, contributing to increased risks of stroke, dementia, and reduced bone density in menopausal women. Nuzest Good Green Vitality features bioavailable and activated forms of B vitamins, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy helping counteract feelings of fatigue and supporting mental clarity during this transition.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is vital during menopause as it supports bone mineral density and overall bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, vitamin C’s potent antioxidant properties link it to enhanced cognitive function and to counteracting oxidative stress that impacts heart health and immunity in menopausal women. Nuzest Good Green Vitality includes not only vitamin C as ascorbic acid, but also bioflavonoids in its formulation to enhance the absorption and efficacy of vitamin C, ensuring optimal utilisation, and additional protection against oxidative damage.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial during menopause as they may help reduce common symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats, which can significantly impact quality of life. They also support neurotransmitter function, aiding in the management of depression, and their potent anti-inflammatory properties are essential for joint flexibility and overall wellbeing during this transition. By helping to manage inflammation, the plant-based Omega-3s in Good Green Vitality can help with smoother physical and emotional transitions.

Protein

Three of the key physical changes experienced during menopause can be supported and alleviated with increased dietary protein – loss of muscle mass, bone health, and weight management.

Muscle mass - as menopause progresses, a key concern is sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass due to ageing. This muscle decline can lead to reduced strength, increasing the risk of falls and fractures, ultimately impacting quality of life and independence.

Bone health - As oestrogen levels decline, women face an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures, making bone health a top priority. Protein plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density, as it promotes the production of collagen.

Weight management - Weight gain is a prevalent concern for menopausal women, often stemming from a slower metabolism and shifts in body composition. Increasing dietary protein intake can promote satiety and improve body composition.

Adaptogens

Adaptogens are a specific class of plants and mushrooms that can help your body respond to stress, anxiety, and fatigue; and improve overall wellbeing.
Good Green Vitality contains adaptogens that can help the body adjust to hormonal changes during menopause.
Ashwagandha, in particular, supports adrenal health, can reduce cortisol
levels, and helps alleviate common menopausal symptoms such as anxiety and
fatigue, while Rhodiola can enhance resilience to physical and mental stress.
Rhodiola is known to improve energy, support cognitive function, and combat
fatigue, making it especially beneficial during the transitional phases of
menopause when energy levels and mental clarity may fluctuate.

Digestive Support

Hormonal changes can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to bloating, irregular digestion, and decreased nutrient absorption. Adding pre and probiotics, digestive enzymes, fermented foods, and gut-supportive herbs to your diet can alleviate these symptoms.
By including probiotics and enzymes (specifically - amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase and lactase), Good Green Vitality helps restore gut balance, ensuring efficient digestion and enhancing nutrient uptake.
For more targeted digestive support, try adding Vibrant Insides and Inner Biome Blend to your daily routine.
