Menopause & Nutrient Needs: Why It’s Different

Menopause is a major hormonal transition that affects nearly every system of the body. Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue & low energy
  

• Mood swings & irritability
  

• Brain fog & memory changes
  

• Hot flashes & night sweats
  

• Weakened bones & skin elasticity shifts
  

During this stage, your nutrient needs change:

• Less iron → Menstruation stops, so you don’t lose iron monthly. Taking synthetic iron can risk buildup.
  

• More B vitamins → Especially B6, to support serotonin, nervous system balance, and hormone regulation.
  

• More antioxidants → To reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
  

This is why the form of nutrients in your multivitamin matters so much.

The Problem With Synthetic Multivitamins

Most multivitamins on the market are made in labs with synthetic, isolated ingredients. These “chemical copies” may look like nutrients but don’t act like food in the body.

Key issues with synthetics:

• ❌ Poor absorption → Without the natural cofactors found in plants, your body may not recognize or use them properly.
  

• ❌ Risk of iron overload → Synthetic iron salts can accumulate in tissues, raising oxidative stress and damaging cells.
  

• ❌ Digestive discomfort → Many women report nausea or constipation from synthetic iron.
  

For women in menopause, these risks are especially concerning.

Why Wholefood Nutrients Are Different 🌿

Nature never delivers vitamins and minerals in isolation. They come with enzymes, cofactors, and phytonutrients that enhance absorption and balance. That’s the power of wholefood supplements.

Iron from Curry Leaves

• 🌱 Slow-releasing and buffered by natural plant compounds
  

• 🌱 Gentle on digestion compared to synthetic iron salts
  

• 🌱 Absorbed as needed → reduces the risk of buildup
  

B6 from Lemon, Holy Basil & Guava

• 🌱 Plant-based B6 comes with antioxidants and flavonoids
  

• 🌱 Supports serotonin production → boosts mood balance
  

• 🌱 Aids energy metabolism + reduces fatigue
  

• 🌱 Supports hormone regulation → helpful for menopause symptoms
  

Comparison: Synthetic vs. Wholefood Multivitamins

Benefits for Women in Menopause ✨

• Gentle on the body → No harsh synthetics, only plant-based nutrients
  

• Safe iron levels → Absorbed as needed, not stored excessively
  

• Hormone & mood support → Plant B6 helps serotonin + nervous system balance
  

• Better absorption → Wholefood nutrients are recognized by your body as food
  

• Daily energy & resilience → Nutrients that support immunity and vitality
  

FAQs: Iron & B6 in Menopause

❓ Should all women in menopause avoid iron?
Not necessarily. The concern is with synthetic iron, which can accumulate. Food-based iron, like from curry leaves, is gentle and absorbed only as needed.

❓ How do I know if I need extra B6?
Signs of deficiency include low mood, fatigue, irritability, or brain fog—all common in menopause. Plant-based B6 helps balance these pathways naturally.

❓ Can I take this if I’m on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)?
Yes, wholefood nutrients are safe alongside HRT. Always consult your doctor before starting new supplements.

❓ Will this help with hot flashes?
While no vitamin is a “cure,” supporting hormone balance, nervous system health, and overall resilience often helps reduce the intensity of symptoms.
