What is in the bottle? An analysis of the ingredients in menopause supplements

The authors aimed to analyze the ingredients, dosages, and costs of menopause supplements available in the UK, amidst a growing market projected to reach $25 billion by 2030 despite limited evidence of their efficacy. They found that the majority of the 201 supplements analyzed contained herbs, vitamins, and phytoestrogens, with significant variability in formulations and prices. The study highlights the need for healthcare professionals to be informed about these supplements and to guide women towards evidence-based treatment options.
