Menopause is a natural transition in a woman’s life, marking the end of reproductive years. Yet, it often brings along a series of physical and emotional challenges — hot flashes, mood changes, insomnia, and fatigue. Many of these symptoms begin in the perimenopausal phase and can last long after menopause itself.
What we know today
-
Hormonal fluctuations are the main driver behind most symptoms. As estrogen and progesterone levels decline, they impact several systems including thermoregulation, mood, sleep, and the nervous system.
-
Chronic stress is a contributing factor that often goes unnoticed. It affects adrenal glands, which play a compensatory hormonal role during this transition.
- Natural solutions, such as valerian root, black cohosh, and chasteberry, are traditionally used to support hormonal balance without resorting to hormone therapy. While effects may vary individually, they represent a gentle, plant-based approach.
Why this matters
Caring for hormonal health is about more than managing symptoms — it’s about maintaining long-term wellness. A better understanding of this life stage allows women to make informed decisions and seek the right support when needed.
To meet this need, Aktiv developed MenoControl — a natural formula created to support women through the perimenopausal, menopausal and postmenopausal stages. Grounded in science, it offers targeted support for common symptoms while promoting overall balance.
