What is Menopause & Hormonal Support?

Menopause is a natural biological transition marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. This phase can bring about a variety of physical and emotional changes due to declining levels of estrogen and other hormones.
