Best hormone balancing supplements

As your oestrogen levels deplete and the body’s intricate hormonal balance falls out of kilter, it’s smart to take a supplement that balances hormones. KSM-66® Ashwagandha, as formulated at 600mg in LYMA is the world’s number one adaptogen shown to balance hormones and is backed by the most extensive research studies and clinical trials.

Best supplement for mood swings

Published academic studies show saffron extract increases dopamine in the brain to help improve mood, although only when delivered at the proven dose. Affron® in the LYMA Supplement is the first patented saffron extract to be backed by peer-reviewed studies and proven to be a reliable, predictable natural remedy for mood swings.

Best natural remedy for perimenopause weight gain

Focus on increasing your body’s intake of leptin. Leptin is not a vitamin or mineral so cannot be taken as a supplement but you can increase your supply of leptin through eating dark berries, legumes, healthy oils and lean meats which will help you to lose weight during perimenopause. Independent studies also show high quality Vitamin K such as K2VITAL® DELTA in LYMA, supports reduced body weight and abdominal fat.

Best supplement for night sweats

Hormonal hot flushes and night sweats are frustrating, uncomfortable and disturb sleep. Some may think black cohosh to be effective in reducing night sweats, though further research is required. Night sweats are one of the most common signs of a vitamin D deficiency, so taking a proven source like the algae-based, Vita-Algae D3™ in LYMA restocks your body's vitamin D levels and effectively treats night sweats whilst tomato-derived antioxidant Lycored Lycopene™ reduces hot flushes.

Best supplement for extreme period pain

Perimenopausal period pain can be unpredictable and intense as menstruation gradually slows to a halt when you finally reach menopause. Some unproven supplements for menstrual cramps have received a lot of airtime recently, though admittedly the research is still somewhat scant. Levagen®+ is an adapted version of PEA (palmitoylethanolamide), a fatty acid which occurs naturally in the body and which quantity in the body depletes as we age. It can be found in foods such as egg yolk and peanuts but even the healthiest diet would not provide our bodies with the actual quantities we need to feel at rest and pain free. As a defence protein Levagen® also brings down inflammation throughout the body thereby helping with many symptoms induced by lower or unbalanced hormonal levels.
