Multivitamin supplements can help to lessen the effects of low oestrogen in the body. Using a good multivitamin formula that contains bone supportive minerals (Ca, Mg, K, D) can be helpful as a preventative measure, as low oestrogen can lead to excessive bone resorption and inadequate bone formation.

During menopause mucous membranes can become dry as oestrogen levels drop. Omega oils, either through diet or supplementation, have been shown to hydrate the skin and mucous membranes in the body that may become dehydrated during menopause.

Apoptogenic herbs, such as ashwagandha, support the adrenal glands, which produce oestrogen after the ovaries have reduced hormone output. Ashwagandha also supports the adernal glands with the body's response to stress.

Herbal remedies or complexes can be useful during menopause, particularly for symptom management, and are usually a mixture of different compounds. Herbs such as milk thistle can help to support the liver and its clearance of excess hormones.
