REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — A journey into the future menopause can be different for each woman. So that this natural process is not hampered, experts recommend consuming various natural ingredients to avoid health problems that may occur.
When entering time perimenopause or the transition period when entering menopause, a number of symptoms can occur. The period around the mid-40s can be accompanied by many mental and physical changes and challenges.
Quoted from page Healthista, Saturday (9/9/2023), the series of symptoms included hotness at night, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, mood swings and periods of depression. There can also be weight changes, thinning hair, and dry skin.
Women in perimenopause may still have menstrual cycles, but there may be changes such as irregular menstrual cycles or fluctuating hormone levels. This condition can last for several years.
Meanwhile, menopause is marked by the end of the menstrual cycle, which usually occurs around the age of 50 years. A woman is diagnosed as reaching full menopause after going 12 months without a menstrual period.
Health practitioner Charlotte Dormon said that there are natural solutions to overcome a series of symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. There is no harm in consuming it herbal ingredients which can help hormones become balanced.
Dormon said there are special multivitamins designed for women over 40 who are entering perimenopause. Its functions include healthy bones, smooth metabolism, and healthy skin and hair.
Magnesium supplements are also recommended for women’s hormonal health during menopause. Magnesium can reduce muscle cramps, reduce stress, ensure optimal bone density, and also maintain heart health amidst hormonal fluctuations.
Another natural ingredient worth trying is reishi or “immortality mushroom,” an adaptogen that boosts the immune system. Other functions of reishi include treating stress and fatigue, balancing hormones, and fighting free radicals due to its antioxidants.
Collagen, a protein responsible for skin elasticity and joint health, is among those recommended to be consumed in supplement form by Dormon. “By replenishing the body’s collagen supply, it helps maintain skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles,” he says.
Regular intake of collagen can also relieve joint pain, which is a problem for many women during menopause. Collagen also plays a role in strengthening hair and nails, and functions to maintain the thickness and resilience of vaginal tissue.
