Can you tell me the best thing to take to relieve symptoms of the menopause? I have just about all the symptoms listed apart from hair loss and brittle nails.

If you are getting a lot of minor symptoms you could try Menopause Support, however, it can take a few weeks to kick in so you do need to be patient.

If your symptoms are severe and affecting your daily life, it is important to see your doctor. Other factors could be making things worse such as low iron, low thyroid, or low vitamin D, and your doctor can test for these just to rule them out.

Looking after yourself well is really important in helping to manage symptoms so make sure that you have a good, healthy diet with lots of water, plenty of rest and relaxation, and sensible daily exercise.
