Flax seeds - Flax seeds are not only great for digestion and overall health, but they may help relieve menopausal symptoms! In one 3-month study of 140 menopausal women, those who took flax seeds reported improvement in menopause symptoms and quality of life.
Ginseng - While there are several kinds of ginseng out there, Korean red ginseng is the most closely studied when it comes to treating symptoms of menopause. According to Healthline, while more research is needed on the effects of ginseng on menopause symptoms, "a 2016 review of 10 studies suggested that Korean red ginseng may bolster sex drive and improve mood and a general sense of well-being in menopausal women."
Calcium - As women produce less estrogen, they also produce fewer new bone cells, leading to osteoporosis. Calcium is a mineral required by the body for bone formation and strength, so adding appropriate amounts during menopause and perimenopause is crucial for preventing weak bones.
