I'm 43 years old and I'm experiencing night-sweats. I often wake up at 4 AM on the first, second, and sometimes third night of my period. Is there a supplement that I can take for this?

You may find sage tablets taken with your evening meal helpful for the night sweats.

Fluctuating hormones can cause this but stress can be a big issue as well so you may find taking a magnesium supplement helpful.

Make sure, too, that you are having a snack before bed. Low blood sugars can often be a contributory factor, just make sure it is not a sugary one but more protein/carbohydrate based such as nuts and seeds, a plain yogurt, or an oatcake and cheese.

Sugary foods and caffeine in the evening are major culprits for this!
